Total applications = 75
Apartments on north side of town = 4
Apartments on South side of town = 5

First  person has a 4/75 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(A) = 4/75

And second person has a 3/74 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(B) = 3/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the north side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (4 ÷ 75) x (3 ÷ 74) = 0.05333 x 0.04054 = 0.00216 

First  person has a 5/75 chance of getting a house in the south side 
P(A) = 5/75

And second person has a 4/74 chance of getting a house in the south side
P(B) = 4/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the south side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (5 ÷ 75) x (4 ÷ 74) = 0.06666 x 0.05405 = 0.00360

This is the third time and i a really annoyed as i am having my time wasted and points

Answer: A) 20.9 ; B) 34years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

AGE (X) - - - - - - - 19 - -20 - - - 21 - - - 22 - - - 23

FREQUENCY (F) - 2 - - 3 - - - - 1 - - - - 4 - - - - 1

A)

MEAN(X) = [AGE(X) × FREQUENCY (F)] ÷ SUM OF FREQUENCY

F*X = [(19 * 2) + (20 * 3) + ( 21 * 1)+(22 * 4)+(23 * 1)]

= 38 + 60 +21 + 88 + 23 = 230

SUM OF FREQUENCY = 2 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 1= 11

MEAN(X) = 230 / 11

X = 20.9

B)

WHEN A NEW PLAYER WAS ADDED :

MEAN (X) = 22

Let age of new player = y

Sum of Ages = 19 + 19 +20 + 20 + 20 + 21 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 23 + y

Number of players = 11 + 1 = 12

Mean(x) = sum of ages / number of players

New mean (x) = 22

x = (230 + y) / 12

22 = (230 + y) / 12

Cross multiply

264 = 230 + y

y = 264 - 230

y = 34 years
