Answer:

The least possible result is <em>-10</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the numbers 4, 5 and 6 are to be chosen one of the letters A, B or C.

First of all,

Let A = 4, B = 5 and C = 6

A(B-C) = 4 \times (5-6) = 4 \times -1 = -4

Let A = 4, B = 6 and C = 5

A(B-C) = 4 \times (6-5) = 4 \times 1 = 4

Let A = 5, B =4 and C = 6

A(B-C) = 5 \times (4-6) = 5 \times -2 = -10

Let A = 5, B = 6 and C = 4

A(B-C) = 4 \times (6-4) = 4 \times 2 = 8

Let A = 6, B = 4 and C = 5

A(B-C) = 6 \times (4-5) = 6 \times -1 = -6

Let A = 6, B = 5 and C = 4

A(B-C) = 6 \times (6-5) = 6 \times 1 = 6

Summarizing the above values in the form of a table:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c c c}A & B & C & A(B-C)\\ 4 & 5 & 6 & -4\\  4 & 6 & 5 & 4\\  5 & 4 & 6 & -10\\  5 & 6 & 4 & 10\\  6 & 4 & 5 & -6\\ 6 & 5 & 4 & 6\end{tabular}\end{center}

So, the least possible result is <em>-10</em>.

Experimental probability means what the probability is concluded by the experiment / trials / real results

Assuming {Section 3 I 32} , means it landed there 32 times out of 80.
We write this as a fraction:
32/80 , we simplify it:

4/10
2/5 <- the simplest answer

The answer is D) 2/5

Does anyone know know to do this ?
Rus_ich [418]
He drinks 8 glasses of water in one day. to know the number of glasses he drinks in 365 days, simply use cross multiplication as follows:
number of glasses per year = (365*8)/1 = 2920 glasses
so, yes his assumption is reasonable if he kept the same rate (8 glasses per day each day)

When the outliers are removed, how does the mean change? (2 points)
quester [9]

Answer:

Option 3: mean increases by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Current mean:

[50+76+78+2(79)+80+81+2(82)+83] ÷ 10

= 77

Without the outliers:

[76+78+2(79)+80+81+2(82)+83] ÷ 9

= 80

80 - 77 = 3 (increase)
