The answer is B. 

The mean is the average so, in this case, the average age of the voters. To get the average the person must take 100 random people who voted, as taking any others will not give them the average age.

sammy [17]
There is some inforrmation that is missing in this question. It should read:

<span><span>A container holds 50 electronic components, of which 10 are defective. If 6 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that at least 4 are not defective is . If 8 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that exactly 3 of them are defective is .

</span><u>Answers</u>
<span>Part 1.   0.02
Part 2.  </span></span>0.0375<span><span>

</span><u>Explanation</u>
The probability is a chance of an event happening. It is calculated as;
probability = (Number of favourable outcome)/(Number of available outcome)

Part 1
6 are chosen at random. If 4 are not defective, then 2 are defective.
P(at least 4 are not defective) = 4/40 </span>× 2/10
                                                = 1/10 ×1/5
                                                = 1/50
                                                 = 0.02

Part 2
8 are chosen at random. If 3 are defective, the 5 are not defective. 
P(3 are defective) = 3/40 × 5/10 
                             = 15/400
                             = 3/80
                            = 0.0375

A man was traveling by air is allowed a maximum of 20kg luggages .The man has four bags weighing 3.5kg ,15 kg ,2kg and 1.5kg .Fi
KatRina [158]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum weight = 20 kg

Bag 1 = 3.5kg

Bag 2 = 15 kg

Bag 3 = 2kg

Bag 4 = 1.5kg

Total weight of bags = 22 kg

Excess weight of his luggage = Total weight of bags - Maximum weight

= 22 kg - 20 kg

= 2 kg

Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = excess weight / maximum weight × 100

= 2/20 × 100

= 0.1 × 100

= 10%

Express the excess weight as a percentage of his maximum weight allowed = 10%

Just multiply all numbers from each question together. Then divide by 2 if it's even, 3 if odd <3<3<3

Hope this helps

To go on the class trip, chang needs at least $125. he has saved $45, and he makes $7 an hour at his job. what is the minimum nu
Murljashka [212]
The total amount that Chang will received from his wages is the product of his hourly wage times the number of hours he has worked (n). His total savings should not be less than $125. The equation that best describes the situation is, 
                                    45 + 7n ≥ 125
Solving for n in the inequality gives an answer of n≥11.42 hours. Thus, he needs to work for at least 12 hours.
