Answer:
I'd assume 7 times x, or 7x
Step-by-step explanation:
Algebraic phrases don’t include the equal sign and based on the information you gave me, I think 7x is the answer.
1. The probability that we select a red marble is 1/3.
We found this out by taking the amount of red marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. The total amount of marbles is 18 and there are red marbles. So, it would become 6 out of 18 or 6/18. Then, we simplify 6/18 to the simplest form. The greatest common factor of both of those numbers is 6. Lastly, we divide each of them by 6 to get the simplest form.
6/18 = (6/6)/(18/6)
(6/6)/(18/6) = 1/3
So, therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a red marble is 1/3.
2. The probability that we select a blue marble is 2/3.
We can find this out by taking the amount of blue marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. We know that the total amount of marble is 18 and there are 12 blue marbles. So, we simply get the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide them by it.
Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18 = 6
12/18 = (12/6)/(18/6)
(12/6)/(18/6) = 2/3
Thus, the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble is 2/3.
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the mistake of the student, let's find the min, max, median, Q1 and Q3, which make up the 5 important values that are represented in a box plot.
Given, {2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 14, 15},
Minimum value = 2
Median = middle data point = 6
Q1 = 3 (the middle value of the lower part of the data set before the median)
Q3 = 14 (middle value of the upper part of the data set after the median)
Maximum value = 15
If we examine the diagram the student created, you will observe that he plotted the median wrongly. The median, which is represented by the vertical line that divides the box, ought to be at 6 NOT 10.
See the attachment below for the correct box plot.
