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

find the scale, k, of H(3,4) if H'(9,12) after going through the transformation (x,y) ---> (kx,ky) centered at the origin
stiks02 [169]

The value of scale k is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the scale , we can either divide the coordinates of H' by the original point or compare both the points to find the original ordered pair.

Given

H(3,4)

H'(9,12)

The coordinates of H are multiplied with some integer k to form H'

So,

<u>For x-coordinate:</u>

3k = 9

k = 9/3 = 3

<u>For y-coordinate:</u>

4k = 12

k = 12/4 = 3

Hence,

The value of scale k is 3

HELPP!!! 30 POINTS!!! WILL MARK BRAINLYIST!! Step 1: Written Response (30 points) Using complete sentences, compare the fat cont
yan [13]

Answer:

median a= 65 b= 75 c=68

This shows the median of each fat content of each restaurant showing that restaurant c is closer to that of 'restaurant a ' than a is to 'restaurant b' and near to 1/7 lower than that of restaurant b which shows they are all highly skewed with each other upon their graph.

The measures of spread start with 55 to 72 for 'restaurant a' where the upper and lower quartiles  are 70-60 showing a distribution 10-17 into the whisker plot.

Compared to restaurant b which shows a measure of spread start with 65 to 90 for 'restaurant b' where the upper and lower quartiles are 85 - 68 into the whisker plot and show a spread of 3 in the left exterior and 5 spread in the right exterior to the upper quartile. So in comparison to restaurant a that restaurant b has a greater spread in the interquartile range = 15  where restaurant a =10.

For the outer quartile the comparison to restaurant a is twice as small meaning restaurant a is greater by over double and shown as   53 <a < 60 which when showing both outer quartiles we can use the amounts being 7 and 70<a<72 = 2

and show closed dots on equality line number line separately showing a<-7  and a>2 for each outer exterior quartile. For restaurant b this shows opposite similar equalities 65<b< 68 = b>-3 and   82<b<89 = b>7

So the differences are smaller for b for left side by 4 and larger for b by 5 up on the right side.

We compare both to restaurant c and find c =   60<c<61 = c>-1 and 70<c<71 = c>1 so the differences are that the outer quartile for c through the other quartiles = -2> c < -6 . This shows how smaller c is compared to a and b outer quartiles). We can also prove that while the outer quartiles are much more smaller for c than a and b we cna prove that c actually has an inner quartile more similar to c and closer distribution of b as the median is more closer for a and c where b has a greater output for median as restaurant b has the higher fat content and greater distribution within the inner quartiles over all.

Summary findings Restaurant c outer quartile is moderately skewed as they show -1 -0.5  on the left side and 1-0.5 on the right side. Restaurant a has a closer median inner quartile to c and closer distribution of inner distribution of c. It's output outer quartile distribiution is a distribution that is higher than b but a smaller inner quartile compared to b, when this happens then the distribution spread shows less range and fewer products to account for.

So i think restaurant b has the higher fat content to its menu.

Where restaurant a must be the healthiest as it holds the lowest range and larger gap is such range for healthier food.ie) when compared to the others. 

Meanings of what we are asked.

In a box and whisker plot: the ends of the box are the upper and lower quartiles, so the box spans the interquartile range. the median is marked by a vertical line inside the box. the whiskers are the two lines outside the box that extend to the highest and lowest observations.

Skewness refers to distortion or asymmetry in a symmetrical bell curve, or normal distribution, in a set of data. If the curve is shifted to the left or to the right, it is said to be skewed. Skewness can be quantified as a representation of the extent to which a given distribution varies from a normal distribution.

As a general rule of thumb:

If skewness is less than -1 or greater than 1, the distribution is highly skewed.

If skewness is between -1 and -0.5 or between 0.5 and 1, the distribution is moderately skewed.

If skewness is between -0.5 and 0.5, the distribution is approximately symmetric.
