Answer:

a)

The proportion of contracts involved at most five bidders is 0.667.

The proportion of contracts involved at least five bidders is 0.51.

b)

The  proportion of contracts involved  between five and 10 inclusive bidders is 0.5.

The  proportion of contracts involved  strictly between five and 10 bidders is 0.304.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. bidders    No. contracts     Relative frequency of contracts

2                         6                       6/102=0.0588

3                         20                     20/102=0.1961

4                         24                     24/102=0.2353

5                         18                       18/102=0.1765

6                         13                        13/102=0.1275

7                          7                          7/102=0.0686

8                          5                          5/102=0.049

9                          6                          6/102=0.0588

10                         2                           2/102=0.0196

11                          1                            1/102=0.0098

Total                  102

a)

We have to find proportion of contracts involved at most five bidders.

Proportion of at most 5= Relative frequency 2+ Relative frequency 3+ Relative frequency 4+ Relative frequency 5

Proportion of at most 5=0.0588+ 0.1961+0.2353+0.1765

Proportion of at most 5=0.6667

The proportion of contracts involved at most five bidders is 0.667.

proportion of at least five bidders= proportion≥5= 1- proportion less than 5

Proportion less than 5=0.0588+ 0.1961+0.2353=0.4902

proportion of at least five bidders=1-0.4902=0.5098

The proportion of contracts involved at least five bidders is 0.51

b)

We have to find proportion of contracts involved  between five and 10 inclusive bidders.

Proportion of contracts between five and 10 inclusive= Relative frequency 5+ Relative frequency 6+ Relative frequency 7+ Relative frequency 8+ Relative frequency 9+ Relative frequency 10

Proportion of between five and 10 inclusive=0.1765 +0.1275 +0.0686 +0.049 +0.0588 +0.0196

Proportion of between five and 10 inclusive=0.5

The  proportion of contracts involved  between five and 10 inclusive bidders is 0.5

We have to find proportion of contracts involved  strictly between five and 10 bidders.

Proportion of contracts strictly between five and 10=  Relative frequency 6+ Relative frequency 7+ Relative frequency 8+ Relative frequency 9

Proportion of strictly between five and 10=0.1275 +0.0686 +0.049 +0.0588

Proportion of strictly between five and 10=0.3039

The  proportion of contracts involved  strictly between five and 10 bidders is 0.304.

Find the sum of all 11 terms of an AP whose middlemost terms is 30?
Bond [772]

Let the difference between consecutive terms be D. If the middle term is 30, then the term before it is 30-D, and the term after it is 30+D. So the sum of these three terms would be (30-D) + 30 + (30+D) = 3*30.

Extending this sum to include all 11 terms centered around 30, we see that any addition of D is canceled by a balanced subtraction, leaving you with 11 copies of 30. So the value of the sum is 11*30 = 330.

Shade a model that shows 0.674
Ratling [72]
0.674 means that it 674/1000

which mean that if the model consists of 1000 squares, you have to shade 674 of the squares.

If the model consists of 500 squares, you have to shade 337 of the squares  ( you get the number after dividing both 674 and 1000 with 2)
