Answer:

$\frac{42 \text{Pens} }{35 \text{Pencils}}$ or $\frac{6 \text{Pens} }{5 \text{Pencils}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is defined as the comparison between the two sizes.

a:b = a/b

We have to find the ratio for 42 pens : 35 pencils as a fraction:

Given:

$42 \text{Pens} : 35 \text{Pencils}$

By definition:

⇒ $\frac{42 \text{Pens} }{35 \text{Pencils}}$

Divide numerator and denominator by 7 we get;

$\frac{6 \text{Pens} }{5 \text{Pencils}}$

Therefore, the ratio for 42 pens : 35 pencils as a fraction is,

$\frac{42 \text{Pens} }{35 \text{Pencils}}$ or $\frac{6 \text{Pens} }{5 \text{Pencils}}$

Talja [164]

12:00 to 1:30 , that is 90 minutes
if 35 people enter each minute then it should be multiplied by the number of minutes
that being said, 90 x 35 = 3,150 people are in the stadium at 1:30

Ket [755]

Answer:

$\sigma = 11.28$ --- Standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for graph

Solving (a): Explain how the standard deviation is calculated.

Start by calculating the mean

To do this, we divide the sum of the products of grade and number of students by the total number of students;

i.e.

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

So, we have:

$\bar x = \frac{50 * 1 + 57 * 2 + 60 * 4 + 65 * 3 +72 *3 + 75 * 12 + 77 * 10 + 81 * 6 + 83 * 6 + 88 * 9 + 90 * 12 + 92 * 12 +95 * 2 + 99 * 4 + 100 * 5}{1 + 2 + 4 + 3 +3 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 12 +2 + 4 + 5}$

$\bar x = \frac{7531}{91}$

$\bar x = 82.76$

Next, calculate the variance using the following formula:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{\sum f(x - \bar x)^2}{\sum f}$

i.e subtract the mean from each dataset; take the squares; add up the squares; then divide the sum by the number of dataset

So, we have:

$\sigma^2 = \frac{1 * (50 - 82.76)^2 +...................+ 5 * (100 - 82.76)^2}{91}$

$\sigma^2 = \frac{11580.6816}{91}$

$\sigma^2 = 127.26$

Lastly, take the square root of the variance to get the standard deviation

$\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma^2}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{127.26}$

$\sigma = 11.28$ --- approximated

Hence, the standard deviation is approximately 11.28

Considering the calculated mean (i.e. 82.76), the standard deviation (i.e. 11.28) is small and this means that the grade of the students are close to the average grade.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The correct statement is:

C. Buying a needle and buying a thread are dependent events.

Explanation:

The first statement is incorrect because the given events are dependent on each other because the probability that a customer buys a needle given that the customer buys thread is 0.25.

The second statement is incorrect because we cannot say all those who buy a thread also buy a needle.

The fourth statement is incorrect because the probability that a customer buys a needle and thread is $0.25 \times 0.15=0.0375$
