~ 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.

jek_recluse [69]

Complete question:

A student in an introductory statistics course investigated if there is evidence that the proportion of

milk chocolate M&M's that are green differs from the proportion of dark chocolate M&M's that are

green. She purchased a bag of each variety and her data are summarized in the following table:

Milk chocolate- Green:8 Not Green: 33 Total: 41

Dark Chocolate- Green: 4 Not green: 38 Total :42

a) Define the appropriate parameter(s) for this data.nd state the hypotheses for testing if the proportion of green M&M's differs for milk chocolate and dark chocolate M&M's.

b. The p-value is 0.32. Use this p-value to make a decision about these hypotheses with an alpha of 0.05. Be sure to word your decision in the context of the problem. Include an assessment of the strength of your evidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. P_{mc} = Proportion of milk chocolate M&M 's that are green

P_{dc} = Proportion of dark chocolate M&M 's that are green

H_{0} : P_{mc} = P_{dc}

H_{0} : P_{mc} ≠  P_{dc}

b. This p-value provides no evidence that the proportion of green candies differs for milk chocolate and dark chocolate M&M's

Answer:

Option A; -8 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given an expression:

(-2)+(-2)+(-2)+(-2)  

Taking common factor (-2) from the above expression we will get

(-2)[1+1+1+1]

Now, simplify the above expression we will get

(-2)[4]

Now, after further simplification we will get

-8

Therefore, Option A; -8 is correct

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 20 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of
kogti [31]

Answer:

40 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say the first car uses x gallons then the second car must use 75 - x gallons.

The distance travelled is the number of gallons used * the efficiency of the car.

20x + 15(75-x)=1325

20x + 1125 - 15x = 1325

5x = 200

x = 40

This means that the first car uses 40 gallons and the second car uses 75-40= 35 gallons
