Answer:
Total number of pastries that will be made from at least 3/8 pound of dough is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that the line plot shows the weight of the dough for each pastry.
From the given box plot it is clear that,
Number of pastries with weight 1/4 pound = 4
Number of pastries with weight 3/8 pound = 3
Number of pastries with weight 1/2 pound = 5
We know that
We need to find the number of pastries that will be made from at least 3/8 pound of dough. It means the number of pastries whose weight is 3/8 or more than that.
N = Number of pastries with weight 3/8 pound + Number of pastries with weight 1/2 pound
N = 3 + 5
N = 8
Therefore, total number of pastries that will be made from at least 3/8 pound of dough is 8.

(I have attached an example for reference)
1) Product means multiply, so we will multiply the decimal numbers.
2) First multiply both the numbers just the way you multiply two whole numbers.
3) note that WHILE multiplying you DON'T put the decimal point. Put the decimal point once you get your FINAL answer.
4) Once multiplied, count the total number of places after the decimal in both the numbers which were given. i.e, in the example it's 2 decimal places, one decimal place in 24.5 and one in 3.2, which means the total decimal places here are two.
5) now in your answer, start counting the decimal places from the right side of the number. For example in 7840, we start counting two decimal places from the right side of it and stop at 4 and put a decimal point there. This way we get 78•40.

(b) To have no winner within the first 6 tosses means that there must be 3 tails and 3 heads tossed. So we count how many ways can that happen. The number of ways to choose 3 heads (or tails, doesn't matter) from 6 tosses is
so 20 ways winthin the 6 tosses. but the question was "how many ways among the 128 of 7 tosses" so we need to add the 7th toss by multiplying by another 2 possibilities for the outcome of the 7th toss, giving us the answer: among the 128 there are 40 games that are tied and need the 7th toss.
(c) The probability is the number of tied games (after 6 tosses) divided by the total number of possible configurations among 6 tosses:
