Answer:

B) 700 mg to 740 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the mean is the average of a data set, it means that there must be data above and below this value.

If the average is 720 mg, in the range there must be values that exceed this value and others that are below this.

We will analyze each of the options.

A) 740 mg to 780 mg.

There are values above 720, but not below 720.

B) 700 mg to 740 mg.

In this case, there are values below and above 720.

C) 680 mg to 720 mg.

There are only values below 720.

D) 660 mg to 700 mg.

There are only values below 720.

E) 620 mg to 660 mg.

There are only values below 720.

Therefore the answer is B) 700 mg to 740 mg. Since it fulfills the premise that guarantees the mean.

The probability of getting a <em>country CD</em> out of all the CDs is the number of <em>country CDs</em> divided by the <em>total number of CDs</em> in Dante's Collection.

The <em>total number of CDs</em> in Dante's collection is 6+12+8+4+10=40.

The total number of <em>country CDs</em> is 12.

So our required probability is \frac{12}{40}= \frac{3}{10}.

In percentage this is 3 divided by 10, and then multiply by 100. We get 30%. Answer choice D is correct.

Which of the following describes the probability distribution below?
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Answer: A.) The mean is greater than the median, and the majority of the data points are to the left of the mean.

It is clear that most of the data (around 75%) is consist of value 1, which is the leftmost part of the data. Since it was more than 50% of the data, the median should be 1.

if 75% data is 1, it need 25% data with value at least 5 to make the means equal to 2. The means would be bigger than 1 but less than 2, so most(75% data is 1) of the data would be on the left of the mean.
