The numbers 1-4 are each written on an index card. The 4 cards are put into a bag and 2 of them are drawn at random. What is the

probability that the sum of the two cards drawn are greater than 5? I actually know the answer to this question (1/3), however, I don’t know how to solve it; please include an explanation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write a list of all possible outcomes

1-2

1-3

1-4

2-1

2-3

2-4

3-1

3-2

3-4

4-1

4-2

4-3

There are 12 possible outcomes. How many of them have totals of 6 or 7

I count 4

So the probability is 4/12 = 1/3, just as you said.

Is there an easier way?

You might be able to get the 12 easier.

You have 4 choices for the first number and 3 for the second.

P(12) = 4*3 = 12

Getting 6 or 7 might be somewhat trickier.

4 and 3 make seven. That gives two ways 4-3 and 3-4

4 and 2 make six. That gives 2 more ways 4-2 and 2-4

That's all that's possible.

answer: 4 ways make success. The total number of ways is 12.

Mary's 3 hamsters each eat three-eighths of cup of grain a day, if she has 6 and 3/4 cups of grain, how many days will the grain
muminat
Hello!

3/8 times 3 equals 9/8 which is also 1 1/8. If you multiply 3/4 by two (numerator and denominator) then you will get 6/8. And if you multiply 9/8( I just find it easier with 9/8) by 6 you will get 54/8. And the grain will last for 6.75 days.

I may be wrong let me know.
Hope this helps!

A study was conducted to determine whether magnets were effective in treating pain. The values represent measurements of pain us
gregori [183]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The null and alternative hypothesis for this test are:

H_{0}: s_{1}^{2} = s_{2}^{2}

H_{a}: s_{1}^{2} > s_{2}^{2}

To test it, use F-test statistics and compare variances of each treatment.

Calculate F-value:

F=\frac{s^{2}_{1}}{s^{2}_{2}}

F=\frac{1.26^{2}}{0.93^{2}}

F=\frac{1.5876}{0.8649}

F = 1.8356

The <u>critical value of F</u> is given by a F-distribution table with:

degree of freedom (row): 20 - 1 = 19

degree of freedom (column): 20 - 1 = 19

And a significance level: α = 0.05

F_{critical} = 2.2341

Comparing both values of F:

1.856 < 2.2341

i.e. F-value calculated is less than F-value of the table.

Therefore, failed to reject H_{0}, meaning there is <u>no sufficient data to support the claim</u> that sham treatment have pain reductions which vary more than for those using magnets treatment.

Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the following set of data. Round to the nearest tenth. 3, 15, 3, 3, 1, 11, 2, 8, 3, 7, 1
zubka84 [21]
The mode is 3. The median is 3. The mean is 6.45 and rounded to the nearest tenth is 6.5. So the mean is 6.5.
