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 :))

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

slope = \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

= (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 6, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 5)

m = \frac{5-3}{1+6} = \frac{2}{7}

If the required difference is 600 mi, lets start of counting by 10s and multiplying the current number
800-700 = 100
1600-1400 = 200
2400-2100 = 300
3200-2800 = 400
4000-3500 = 500
4800-4200 = 600
if 60 hours pass, they will be 600 miles away from each other.
counting by 10 each time will help with problems like or similar to this.
