Asuume that the distribution in the small sample is representative of the whole. We can first compute the fraction of yellow in the sample:

Y=\frac{y}{total} = \frac{y}{r+y+b+p} = \frac{20}{15+20+12+8}=\frac{20}{55}=\frac{4}{11}

We can tehen use this fractino to compute the expected number of yellow in a sample of 22 total beans:

Y_{22} = 22 \times \frac{4}{11} = 7.999999

There will be about 8 yellow beans.

Answer:

You can expect 8 yellow jelly beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of yellow jelly beans to the total amount is:

20 : 55

If you want find the rate of 20 yellow jelly beans to the total amount, you would have to divide:

20 / 55 = 0.36363636 (long series of number continues)

Now that you have the rate of yellow jelly beans, you can use that rate to find the estimated amount of yellow jelly beans in a total of 22:

0.36363636 * 22 = 8

Hope this helped :))

Yellow Taxi Cabs charges a $7 flat rate in addition to $2.25 per mile. Kate has $100 to spend on transportation. How many miles
enyata [817]
Kate can travel 41.33 miles without exceeding her limit. This problem can be solved by using y = 2.25x  + 7 linear equation with the "y" variable as the total cost that Kate must pay after she has traveled with the cab and the "x" variable as Kate's traveling distance. The equation has 7 for its constant value which is the $7 flat rate. We will find 41.33 miles as the traveling distance if we substituted the total cost with 100, which is the maximum amount that can be paid by Kate for the traveling purpose.
