Answer:
0.430625 = 0.431
Step-by-step explanation:
Let W represent winning, D represent a draw and L represent a loss.
12+ points can be garnered in each of the following ways.
6W 0D 0L
5W 1D 0L
5W 0D 1L
4W 2D 0L
4W 1D 1L
4W 0D 2L
3W 3D 0L
The probability of getting 12+ points is the sum of all these 7 probabilities.
Knowing that P(W) = 0.5
P(D) = 0.1
P(L) = 0.4
P(6W 0D 0L) = [6!/(6!0!0!)] 0.5⁶ 0.1⁰ 0.4⁰ = 0.015625
P(5W 1D 0L) = [6!/(5!1!0!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1¹ 0.4⁰ = 0.01875
P(5W 0D 1L) = [6!/(5!0!1!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1⁰ 0.4¹ = 0.075
P(4W 2D 0L) = [6!/(4!2!0!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1² 0.4⁰ = 0.09375
P(4W 1D 1L) = [6!/(4!1!1!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1¹ 0.4¹ = 0.075
P(4W 0D 2L) = [6!/(4!0!2!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1⁰ 0.4² = 0.15
P(3W 3D 0L) = [6!/(3!3!0!)] 0.5³ 0.1³ 0.4⁰ = 0.0025
The probability of getting 12+ points = 0.015625 + 0.01875 + 0.075 + 0.09375 + 0.075 + 0.15 + 0.0025 = 0.430625
Answer: Choice C)
--------------------------------------
mean = xbar = (2400+1750+1900+2500+2250+2100)/6
mean = 2150
Subtract the data values from the mean to get
2400-2150 = 250
1750-2150 = -400
1900-2150 = -250
2500-2150 = 350
2250-2150 = 100
2100-2150 = -50
The differences are: 250, -400, -250, 350, 100, -50
Then you square those values and add up the squares
(250)^2 + (-400)^2 + (-250)^2 + (350)^2 + (100)^2 + (-50)^2 = 420,000
The answer is B. one hundred four and thirty two ten-thousandths
