Maths question about counters nice and easy I'm just sick
2 answers:
Divide the number of possible outcomes by the number of total outcomes.
Green: ≈ 0.55
Red: = 0.45
Since only red counters were added, this changes the probability of the counter being red to 0.6 or 60% and the probability of it being green to 0.4 or 40%. This means that the change in probability for the red counters was 15% or 0.15.
Set up a proportion:
, so x = 1.65, which rounds to 2 red counters.
We can prove this by adding 5 + 2 red counters. 7/11 = 0.6 or 60% chance.
Your final answer is 2 red counters were added.
Hope this helped. Get well soon.

Complete question:
He amount of time that a customer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 8.3 minutes and standard deviation 1.4 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of n equals 47 customers is observed. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is
a) less than 8 minutes
b) between 8 and 9 minutes
c) less than 7.5 minutes
Answer:
a) 0.0708
b) 0.9291
c) 0.0000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
n = 47
u = 8.3 mins
s.d = 1.4 mins
a) Less than 8 minutes:
P(X' < 8) = P(Z< - 1.47)
Using the normal distribution table:
NORMSDIST(-1.47)
= 0.0708
b) between 8 and 9 minutes:
P(8< X' <9) =
= P(-1.47 <Z< 6.366)
= P( Z< 6.366) - P(Z< -1.47)
Using normal distribution table,
0.9999 - 0.0708
= 0.9291
c) Less than 7.5 minutes:
P(X'<7.5) =
P(X' < 7.5) = P(Z< -3.92)
NORMSDIST (-3.92)
= 0.0000
