Answer:
<em>The combined average of Altuve's weighted averages is 1 for 2 or 1/2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Combined Average</u>
On Friday, Altuve had 3 out of 5 successes
On Saturday, Altuve had 2 out of 4 successes
On Friday, Altuve had 1 out of 3 successes
The total successes are 3+2+1=6
The total tries are 5+4+3=12
The combined average is:
Simplifying:
The combined average of Altuve's weighted averages is 1 for 2 or 1/2
Corrected Question
Sue travels by bus or walks when she visits the shops. The probability that she catches the bus to the shops is 0.4. The probability she catches the bus from the shops is 0.7. Show the probability that Sue walks at one way is 0.72
Answer:
(Proved)
Step-by-step explanation:
Sue travels by bus or walks when she visits the shops.
Let the event that she catches the bus to the shop=A
Let the event that she catches the bus from the shop=B
P(A)=0.4
P(B)=0.7
Both A and B are independent events.
Therefore,Probability that she catches the bus to and from the shop:
P(A∩B) = 0.4 X 0.7= 0.28
Probability Sue walks at least one way
Hence, the probability that Sue walks at least one way is 0.72.
