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 :))

Lucy’s parents built a swimming pool in the backyard. Use 3.14 for π.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

Distance around the pool = 162.8 feet

Area of the pool = 957 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance around the swimming pool = Perimeter of the pool

Perimeter of the pool which is a composite figure will be,

= Circumference of the semicircle + Sum of three sides of the pool

= πr + 2×(length of the pool) + width of the pool

= 3.14×(10) + 2×40 + 20

= 62.8 + 80 + 20

= 162.8 ft

Area of the pool = Area of the semicircle + Area of the rectangular pool

                           = \frac{1}{2}(\pi)(r)^{2}+(\text{length}\times \text{Width})

                           = \frac{1}{2}(3.14)(10)^2+(40\times 20)

                           = 157 + 800

                           = 957 square feet

Please help show work<br><br> 3√(125) -√(16) = ?
Anna007 [38]
First, simplify the radicals
√125=√(5*5*5)=(√5*5)(√5)=5√5
so 3√125=3*5√5=15√5

and √16=4
so
15√(5)-4 is the simplified version
