Use formula for theoretical probability:

Pr=\dfrac{\text{the number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{the number of possible outcomes}}.

1. The probability that Jonas will get an orange is

Pr(\text{Jonas gets orange})=\dfrac{5}{13}.

2. Ben is taking a piece second and he has 12 piecies left, among them 5 apples, 4 oranges and 3 bananas. The probability that Ben will get an apple is

Pr(\text{Ben gets apple})=\dfrac{5}{12}.

3. Use the product rule to determine

Pr(\text{Jonas gets orange and Ben gets apple})=\dfrac{5}{13}\cdot \dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{25}{156}.

Answer: correct choice is A.

Suppose that a state introduces a state income tax which will be at a flat rate of 3%. The state legislature wishes to estimate
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The mean income is more useful

Step-by-step explanation:

If you know the mean income, then you can obtain the total income by multiplying for the total population. Once you know the total income, you can deduce the amount of money collected by multiplting the total income by 0.03.

Knowing the median income does only help you so much. The mediam income is only a parameter that says that 50% of the population earn less than that. However, if you dont know how much the richer people earn, you cant deduce how much from taxes will you collect. For a simplified example, the sets A = {1,3,18} and B = {1,3,4} have the same median, 3. however A sums a total of 22, while B only sums 8.

The mode of income alone is also not enough. Again, You can have a lot of salaries ranging from similar values, but if you dont know the exact value of other clusters of salaries, specifically the biggest ones, you will lack a lot of information. As a simplified example, the Sets A = {1,3,3,3,3,3,3, 7, 7,7} and B = {1,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,75} have both of them 3 as the most frequent number, however A has a mean of 4, while B has a mean of 10, despite having only 1 mayor cluster of numbers.

Is short, the mean is the bets way to determine the amount of rax collection, because it puts more realistic '<em>weights</em>' on higher income, and because it lets you obtain exact results for the total amount of income.

I hope this helped you!
