Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 4 chocolate chips and 12 oatmeal. In total, there are 16 cookies.

The probability of selecting a chocolate chip when you reach in for the first time will be 4/16 or 1/4.

The second time, you reach in, however, there would be one less chocolate chip cookie because you would've pulled one out previously. Thus, the probability is now 3/15 or 1/5.

So, the probability of pulling a chocolate chip cookie consecutively is:

\frac{1}{4}\cdot\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{20}

Our answer is A :)

What is the mean absolute deviation of the following set of data 10 4 12 4 2 10 10 6
mart [117]

The mean absolute deviation of the given data 10, 4, 12, 4, 2, 10, 10, 6 is 3.1875.

According to the given question.

The given data set is

10, 4, 12, 4, 2, 10, 10, 6

Mean of the given data set  

= (10 + 4 +  12 + 4 + 2 + 10 + 10 + 6)/8

= 7.25

Now, the absolute values are:

|10 - 7.25| = 2.75

|4 - 7.25| = 3.25

|12 -7.25| = 4.25

| 4 - 7.25| = 3.25

| 2 - 7.25| = 5.25

| 10 - 7.25| = 2.75

| 10 - 7.25| = 2.75

| 6 - 7.25| = 1.25

The average of all absolute values

= (2.75 + 3.25 + 4.25 + 3.25 + 5.25 + 2.75 + 2.75 + 1.25)/8

= 25.5/8

= 3.1875

Therefore, the mean absolute deviation of the given data 10, 4, 12, 4, 2, 10, 10, 6 is 3.1875.

The greater of two consecutive EVEN numbers is 40 less than twice the smaller number. Find the larger number
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

<h3>           44</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  some integer

2z - first given even integer (the smaller one)

2z+2 - even integer consecutive to 2z  (the larger one)

2(2z)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40    - the number 40 less than twice the smaller number

2(2z) - 40 = 2z + 2

4z - 40 = 2z + 2

2z = 42

 

2z+2 = 42+2 = 44

check:

2(2z)-40 = 2(42)-40 = 84-40 = 44
