Answer:
Each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the bags are identical, Let them Number of candies in each bag sue had be x. Thus, she had 5x candies. Since she lost 25 pieces, then she now has;
5x - 25 candies left.
We are told that Ted had 4 bags with the same number of candies like Sue had. Thus, he has 4x candies.
He mysteriously found 10 additional pieces. Total Ted now has is;. 4x + 10
Finally, we are told that Sue and Ted now have an equal number of candies.
Thus;
5x - 25 = 4x + 10
Rearranging, we have;
5x - 4x = 25 + 10
x = 35
Thus, each bag originally had 35 pieces of candy

Answer:
k= 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
x is proportional to y
x = ky (k is const.)
k = x/y
k= 5/25
k = 1/5

Since the die is unfair, we expect that the probability of each of the numbers turning up
will not be equal.
However, we should also expect that if we add the chances of all the numbers occurring together, then the total probability should be equal to 1. But this does not work in this case;
In this case, adding all the probabilities together, we have;
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/2
= 5(1/12) + 1/2 = 5/12 + 1/2 = 11/12
11/12 is not equal to 1 and thus the probability distribution cannot be correct
