Given 4 boxes of pencils cost $5,
Unknown- slope
$1.25 per box since $5/boxes
Equation y=mx+b
Substitute $1.25/per box for m
Solve y=$1.25x
The Check
$5=$1.25/per box(4 boxes)
$5=$5
The marginal distribution for gender tells you the probability that a randomly selected person taken from this sample is either male or female, regardless of their blood type.
In this case, we have total sample size of 714 people. Of these, 379 are male and 335 are female. Then the marginal probability mass function would be
![\mathrm{Pr}[G = g] = \begin{cases} \dfrac{379}{714} \approx 0.5308 & \text{if }g = \text{male} \\\\ \dfrac{335}{714} \approx 0.4692 & \text{if } g = \text{female} \\\\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BPr%7D%5BG%20%3D%20g%5D%20%3D%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20%5Cdfrac%7B379%7D%7B714%7D%20%5Capprox%200.5308%20%26%20%5Ctext%7Bif%20%7Dg%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7Bmale%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Cdfrac%7B335%7D%7B714%7D%20%5Capprox%200.4692%20%26%20%5Ctext%7Bif%20%7D%20g%20%3D%20%5Ctext%7Bfemale%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%200%20%26%20%5Ctext%7Botherwise%7D%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D)
where G is a random variable taking on one of two values (male or female).
Not all of the student body would have responded therefore her conclusion was incorrect, could be changed to be right by saying 90% of people who responded to a survey said the school colours should be changed.
