You should look for outliers. If there is an outlier then you should use median because if you use mean the data would be skewed.

A candy company claims that 25% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 32 bags of 32 candies, randomly selects
Luden [163]

Answer:

45.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in this case a binomial distribution when p = 0.25, since the probability is 25%

. The formula that we will use in excel is BINOM.DIST, separated by commas we must put the value of x, n, p and also if it is true or false. We know that n equals 32.

In this case we need to know when x = 7, 8 and 9 and add this, and thus we will obtain the probability:

P (X = 7) + P (X = 8) + P (X = 9)

Excel formulas: = BINOM.DIST (7,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (8,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (9,32,0.25, FALSE)

P = 0.1546 + 0.1610 + 0.1431

P = 0.4588

Probability that steve agrees with the company's claim 45.88%

The total number of people in the city surveyed by Annette= 480 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'X' be the Total Number of people Annette surveyed.

Out of Total people in the city, only <u>180 people are not interested</u> in a new shopping mall.

Therefore, it is given in the question that <u>180 is 37.5% of Total number of people surveyed (X).</u>

step 1: 180= (37.5/100)*(X)

step 2: X= (180*100)/37.5

step 3: X= 18000/37.5

step 4: X= 480
