~ ANSWER=1/2 ~

Simple probability is found by counting all the results which fit requirements and dividing by all possible results.

To find probability of two results in a row, multiply chance of first result by chance of second result.

Since you are replacing the marble before the second draw, we don’t have to figure out the various changes in odds for the different possible first draws. It’s just that simple.

There are 5 white marbles

There are 4 red marbles

There are always 20 marbles in all

5/20*4/20=1/4*1/5=1/20 or 1/2

By coincidence, the same as the chance of drawing the white marble in one draw.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a=49.5 -1.28*15=30.3

So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% of data from the top 90% is 30.3.  

If the score is lower than 30.3 we consider this score as risk averse

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(49.5,15)  

Where \mu=49.5 and \sigma=15

We are interested in the bottom 10% of the data.

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.9   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.1 of the area on the left and 0.9 of the area on the right it's z=-1.28. On this case P(Z<-1.28)=0.1 and P(z>-1.28)=0.9

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=49.5 -1.28*15=30.3

So the value of height that separates the bottom 10% of data from the top 90% is 30.3.  

If the score is lower than 30.3 we consider this score as risk averse

Mashutka [201]

Answer: Rs 25,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Retailer sold an electric iron to a customer at a loss of 10%

Suppose the Cost price of iron is x

So, selling price is 0.9x

This price must be equal to 25425+ VAT

\Rightarrow 0.9x=25425-0.13(0.9x)\\\Rightarrow 0.9x+0.117x=25425\\\Rightarrow 1.017x=25425\\\Rightarrow x=\text{Rs }25,000

Thus, the cost price is Rs.25,000

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Parameter                                                                                

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameter and statistic:

  • Parameter is a numerical value that describes a population.
  • A sample is a part of the population and always smaller than the population.
  • The statistic is a numerical value that describes a sample.

Population of interest:

College students aged 18 to 22

Parameter:

66.4% reported using alcohol within the past month

Thus, the given is a parameter as it describes a population proportion.
