Answer:

a) Decrease

b) New mean = 78.43

c) Decrease                        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of students in class = 28

Average of 27 students = 79

Standard Deviation of 27 students = 6.5

New student's score = 63

a) The new student's score will decrease the average.

b) New mean

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean = \dfrac{\displaystyle\sum x_i}{27} = 79\\\\\sum x_i = 27\times 79 = 2133

New mean =

\text{ New mean} =\dfrac{ \displaystyle\sum x_i +63}{28}\\\\ =\dfrac{2133+63}{28}= \dfrac{2196}{28} = 78.43

Thus, the new mean is 78.43

c) Since the new mean decreases, standard deviation for new scores will decrease.

This is because the new value is within the usual values i.e. within two standard deviations of the mean. So, this wont cause a lot of variation as this value will be closer to already available data values. Also number of observations (n) in the denominator is increasing. Based on both these points we can conclude that standard deviation will decrease

Formula for Standard Deviation:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

sleet_krkn [62]
<h3>Answer:  7/13</h3>

======================================================

Explanation:

We know that the marble selected is red, so we don't need to focus on the other colors.

7 red marbles are in urn B out of 2+7+4 = 13 total red marbles.

The probability the red marble came from urn B is therefore 7/13

The sum of two numbers is 62, and their difference is 8. What are the numbers
Lemur [1.5K]
Sum of two numbers is 62?
Let's call the two numbers a and b

let's find two same numbers that would add up to 62: 31.
31 + 31 = 62

since it said the difference is 8, we have to add 4 to one number and subtract 4 from another.
31 - 4 = 27
31 + 4 = 35

Therefore, the two numbers following the given rules are 27 and 35
