What is the probability the dice sum to 8 given that both dice show even numbers?

Ber [7]

With 2 dices we have all 6x6=36 ways.
But for two conditions: sum 8 and both even numbers, we have only: (2;6), (6;2), (4;4). That's all.
And the probability is 3/36= 1/12

Answer:

(-3.5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 boxes between A and B. So I figure if you take 3/4 of 7 is about 5.

FromTheMoon [43]

The statement which explains Krissa’s error is "She switched the prices of the tickets" ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

A college is selling tickets for a winter fund-raiser

One day, Krissa sold 14 adult tickets and 8 student tickets for a total of $376
The next day, she sold 7 adult tickets and 11 student tickets for a total of $272
The price of one adult ticket is a
The price of one student ticket is s
She wrote and solved the following system of equations. 14a + 8s = 376 and 7a + 11s = 272
She found that the price of one student ticket is $20 and the price of one adult ticket is $12

We need to find which statement explains Krissa’s error

∵ The system of equations is:

14a + 8s = 376 ⇒ (1)

7a + 11s = 272 ⇒ (2)

Multiply equation (2) by -2 to eliminate x

∵ -14a - 22s = -544 ⇒ (3)

Add equations (1) and (3)

∴ -14s = -168

Divide both sides by -14

∴ s = 12

Substitute the value of s in equation (2) to find a

∵ 7a + 11(12) = 272

∴ 7a + 132 = 272

Subtract 132 from both sides

∴ 7a = 140

Divide both sides by 7

∴ a = 20

∵ a represents the price of one adult ticket

∴ The price of one adult ticket is $20

∵ s represents the price of one student ticket

∴ The price of one student ticket is $12

∵ She found that the price of one student ticket is $20 and

the price of one adult ticket is $12

- She switched the prices of the tickets

∴ Her error is, she switched the prices of the tickets

The statement which explains Krissa’s error is "She switched the prices of the tickets"

The number of undergraduates at Johns Hopkins University is approximately 2000, while the number at Ohio State University is app

Likurg_2 [28]

The remaining part of Question:

4) what can we conclude about sampling variability in the sample proportion calculated in the sample at John Hopkins as compared to that calculated in the sample at Ohio State.

5) The number of undergraduates at Johns Hopkins is approximately 2000 while the number at Ohio State is approximately 40000, suppose instead that at both schools, a simple random sample of about 3% of the undergraduates Will be taken.

Answer:

4) The sample proportion from Johns Hopkins will have about the same sampling variability as that from Ohio State

5) The sample proportion from John Hopkins will have more sampling variability than that from Ohio State

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The sampling variability in the sample proportion decreases with increase in the sample size.

4) since the sample size at both Johns Hopkins and Ohio State is the same (i.e. n = 50), the sample variability of the sample proportion will be the same for both cases.

5) 3% of the population are selected for the observation in both cases.

At Johns Hopkins, sample size, n = 3% * 2000

n = 60

At Ohio State, sample size, n = 3% * 40000

n = 1200

Since sampling variability in the sample proportion decreases with increase in the sample size, the sampling variability in sample proportion will be higher at Johns Hopkins than at Ohio State.
