Answer:

A) win : game played = 3 : 5

B) No, it only implies that for every 5 games played by Erica's team, they win 3 and loss 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Since the ratio of win to loss = 3:2

Therefore ratio of total game played will be sum of the ratio of win and loss i.e 3+2 = 5

So ratio of wins to game played

win : game played = 3 : 5

B) No, I cannot use the ratio to conclude that the total number of games Erica's team played in one season is 5, why? because it only implies that for every 5 games played by Erica's team, they win 3 of the 5 games and loss 2 of the 5 games.

sophia is 6 years older than her brother eric. the sum of their ages is 28. write and solve an equation to find sophia and Eric'

zimovet [89]

s = 6 + e

s + e = 28

We can use this system of equations to find the exact values of s and e.

We have a current value of s, so we can find the exact value of e now.

e + e + 6 = 28

Combine like terms.

2e + 6 = 28

Subtract both sides by 6.

2e = 22

Divide both sides by 2.

e = 11

Now we have an exact value of e, and can solve for the value of s.

s = 6 + 11

s = 17

Sophia is 17 years old, and Eric is 11 years old.

37% of women consider themselves fans of professional baseball. you randomly select six women and ask each if she considers hers

valina [46]

Answer:

(a) 2.22

(b) 1.3986

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of women who consider themselves fans of professional baseball.

The proportion of women who consider themselves fans of professional baseball is, p = 0.37.

A random sample of n = 6 women are selected and each was asked if she considers herself a fan of professional baseball.

Each woman's reply is independent of the others.

The random variable X thus follows a binomial distribution with parameters n = 6 and p = 0.37.

(a)

Compute the mean of the binomial distribution as follows:

$\text{Mean}=np=6\times 0.37=2.22$

(b)

Compute the variance of the binomial distribution as follows:

$\text{Variance}=np(1-p)=6\times 0.37\times (1-0.37)=1.3986$

(c)

Compute the standard deviation of the binomial distribution as follows:

$\text{Standard Deviation}=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{6\times 0.37\times (1-0.37)}=1.183$
