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.

Tickets to a basketball game vary in price. Adult tickets cost $5 and student cost $1. A total of $2,874 was collected from sell
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a= adult ticket

a= student ticket

5a+1s=2874

1a+1s=1246

Subtract the second equation from the first one

4a=1628

a=407

a+s=1246

407+s=1246

s=839

A square is shown below. Which expression can be used to find the area, in square units, of the shaded triangle in the square?
AlexFokin [52]
The area of a square would me multiplying the width times the length and then multiplying by one half would be like splitting the square in half so your answer would be that last one right there. 6*6= area then multiply by 1/2 = half of area  Hope this helps! :D
