To determine the probability, the formula is by number of successful outcomes divided by number of possible outcomes. The number of possible outcomes in this problem is 4.
So to compute the probability distribution:
The number of times that 0 G appeared is 0.25 which is represented by BB which is 1/4.
The number of times that 1 G appeared is .5 which is represented by BG and GB which is 2/4.
The number of times that 2 G appeared is .25 which is represented by GG which is 1/4.
The probability distribution will look like this:
X Px(x)
0 .25
1 .5
2 .25
= 12 x (4^2)
= 12 x 16
= 192
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve for this, we need to understand what a ratio is. A ratio is a comparison between two things. (in numbers) In this case, between pools and hours:
pools:hours
A fraction is also a ratio, in this case we have 2/5, which also compares pools to hours, so we can turn this into a more proper ratio form:
2 pools: 5 hours
2:5
<u>So, our ratio of pools to hours is 2:5.</u>
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
