Answer:

a) 2.9%

b) Option B is correct.

The prisoners must be independent with regard to recidivism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that one prisoner goes back to prison = 17% = 0.17

a) The probability that two prisoners released both go back to prison = 0.17 × 0.17 = 0.0289 = 2.89% = 2.9% to 1 d.p

b) The only assumption taken during the calculation is that probability of one of the prisoners going back to prison has no effect whatsoever in the probability that another prisoner goes back to prison. That is the probability that theses two events occur are totally independent of each other.

If they weren't, we wouldn't be able to use 0.17 as the probability that the other prisoner goes back to prison too.

Pls help ME PLSSSSS!!!!!!
Scilla [17]

(a) the interquartile range

Would be 72 - 88

the med would be 84  

(b) I may be wrong but my guess would be

88% above all the seasons because the scale that was shown went to 100 and that would cause each win to be 1%. the bottom would have to equal out to 12% because that is what we would need to make it equal out to 100.

Hope this helps
