A bag contains only red and blue marbles. Yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. The probability that she takes a red

marble is 1 in 5. Yasmine returns the marble to the bag and adds five more red marbles to the bag. The probability that she takes one red marble at random is now 1 in 3. How many red marbles were originally in the bag?

Since the first probability is 1/5, the number of read marbles was either 1 (if there were 5 marbles total), 2 (if there were 10 total), 3 (15 total), 4 (20 total), 5 (25 total), etc.. When you add 5 red marbles to the bag, you are increasing each of those fractions by 5/5. Therefore 1/5 would turn into 6/10 or 3/5. That's not our last probability so we keep going. 2/10 would turn into 7/15. Nope. 3/15 turns into 8/20 or 2/5. Nope. 4/20 turns into 9/25. Nope. 5/25 turns into 10/30 or 1/3. Therefore, the bag started with 5 red marbles out of a total of 25 marbles.

Answer:

FALSE

TRUE

TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

For median,

Arrange your numbers in numerical order.

Count how many numbers you have.

If you have an odd number, divide by 2 and round up to get the position of the median number.

If you have an even number, divide by 2. Go to the number in that position and average it with the number in the next higher position to get the median.

Source: https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-identify-and-calculate-the-mean-median-or-mode-2795785

So for April median: 2.5, 3, 3.5, 3.5 (since we have 4 numbers we divide by 2 and we count by 2 places from left. Since we have even number data, we average 3 with the next higher position to get the median so (3+3.5)/2 = 3.25

For May apply same concept and you get median to be 2.25.

Median difference is 3.25-2.25 = 1

Therefore, statement 1 is false and statement 2 is true.

For average in May, add all numbers and divide by the number of data points so May= (2.5+3+3.5+3.5)/ 4 = 3.13

Apply same concept you for April and you get 2.38 as mean.

Mean difference is 3.13-2.38 = 0.75

Therefore, statement 3 is correct (true)

How do you find the slope of a line perpendicular to a given line?
enyata [817]
You have a line:
y=mx+b  (slope-intercepted form)
m=slope of this line.

The slope of a line perpendicular to that given line will be: ´"m´"
m´=-1/m.

For example:
y=8x+3
m=8

The solpe fo a line perpendicular to "y=8x+3" is:
m`=-1/8
