A farmer from Whidbey Island: A man claims his whalebone can detect water. You design an experiment using a set of 4 cans, 3 emp

ty, and one filled with water. You present the farmer with a total of 5 different but similar sets of cans. For each trial, you ask the farmer to identify which of the four cans has the water. How many cans would you expect the farmer to correctly identify by chance? (Round to the nearest 4 decimal places.)

Answer:

The value is E(x) =  1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of cans is n = 4

The number of can that are empty is N = 3

The number of can filled with water is k = 1

The number number of sets of cans is w = 5

Generally probability of detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

p  =  \frac{k}{n}

=> p  =  \frac{1}{4}

=> p  = 0.25

Generally probability of not detecting the correct can is mathematically represented as

q =  1- p

q =  1- 0.25

q = 0.75

Generally the number of cans expected of the farmer to correctly identify by chance is mathematically represented as

E(x) =  w  *  p

=> E(x) =  5  * 0.75

=> E(x) =  1.25

ONLY ANSWER NO WORK WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Whitepunk [10]
Alright, here goes:
For this question, you are asked about the median and Interquartile Range(IQR), so first you need to understand what that means.
The IQR is the box in the middle of the box-and-whisker-plot. The question asks for the place to have a small IQR, so the most likely places are Pensacola and Jacksonville.
The question is also asking for a high median temperature. The median is the line in the middle of the plot.
The median of Pensacola's plot is higher than the median of Jacksonville, so Pensacola Beach is your answer :)
