Answer:

For a discrete random variable the standard deviation is calculated by summing the product of the square of the difference between the value of the random variable and the expected value, and the associated probability of the value of the random variable, taken over all of the values of the random variable, and finally

Terrence has 64 stamps. Of his stamps, 12 are from Europe and 1/4 are from Africa. The rest are from Asia. What fraction of his

Tamiku [17]

16 of his stamps are from Africa, since 1/4 of 64 is 16. If I subtract his 28 from Europe and Africa (16 plus 12 equals 28) from his original 64, I am left with 36 stamps. 36/64 is simplified to 9/16. So 9/16 of Terrence's stamps are from Asia.

Jing spent 1/3 of her money on a pack of pens, 1/2 of her money on a pack of markers, and 1/8 of her money on a pack of pencils.

Reika [66]

As per the problem

Jing spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on a pack of pens.

$\frac{1}{2}$ of her money on a pack of markers.

and $\frac{1}{8}$ of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\$

$\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}$
