Answer:

P(A freshman will graduate) = 1 - 0.4167 = 0.5833

Explanation

Probability that a freshman will graduate = 0.25

Probability that a freshman will become sophomores = 50% = 0.50

Probability that he will quit = 25% =0.25

Now.

Probability that a sophomore will graduate = 0.50

Probability that a sophomore will remain sophomore = 0.25

Probability that it will quit = 0.25

so,

P(Freshman will graduate) = P(WHo directly graduated from freshman) + P(WHo graduated by becoming sophomore first and then graduated)

Here,

P(Who directly graduated from freshman) = 0.25

P(Who graduated by becoming sophomore first and then graduated) = P(Freshman -> Sophomore -> Graduate) + P(Freshman -> Sophomore -> Sophomore -> Graduate) + P(Freshman -> Sophomore -> Sophomore -> Sophomore -> Graduate) + .............

= 0.25 + 0.5 * [0.5 + 0.25 * 0.5 + 0.252 * 0.5 + ...]

= 0.25 + 0.52 * 1/(1 - 0.25)

= 0.25 + 0.52/0.75

= 0.5833

P(Freshman who will graduated) = 0.5833

Method II

P(A freshman will graduate) = 1 - P(A freshman that will quit)

P(Freshman will quit) = P(Quit when he is a freshman) + P(Quit when he become sophomore from a freshman)

= 0.25 + [0.50 * 0.25 + 0.50 * 0.50 * 0.25 + ...]

= 0.25 + 0.50 * 0.25 * 1/(1 - 0.25)

= 0.25 + 0.50 * 0.25 * 1/0.75

= 0.4167

so

P(A freshman will graduate) = 1 - 0.4167 = 0.5833

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLY (EMERGENCY)
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Part A: 5

Part B: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the mean all you have to do is add all the numbers together and then divide it by how many numbers there are in the data set

3+4+4+4+5+6+6+8=40

40÷8=5

so the mean is 5

next to find the mean of absolute deviations you need to subtract each number in the data set from the mean then divide it by how many numbers are in the data set (if you get a negative like 6-5=-1 just take away the negative sign to make it positive)

5-3=2

5-4=1

5-4=1

5-4=1

5-5=0

6-5=-1

6-5=-1

8-5=-3

2+1+1+1+0+1+1+3=10

10÷5=2

so the mean absolute deviation is 2
