Answer:
(a) 5
(b) 3rd quartile
(c) 2nd quartile
Step-by-step explanation:
There are four quartiles in a box plot <em>(or box and whisker plot).</em>
The 1st is from 5 to 13
The 2nd is from 13 to 35
The 3rd is from 35 to 40
The 4th is from 40 to 48
<em />
(a) The lowest that this box plot goes is 5 <em>(between the 4 and 6)</em>
(b) 3rd quartile — we can see that the left and right borders are close together, meaning that the data values for this quartile are close together, and therefore concentrated
(c) 2nd quartile — we can see that this quartile is the widest, and therefore the data values are spread out
Answer:
112
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(a)
The probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be

Therefore, suppose that
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Case 1
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only heads, then you would stop when you get the first tail. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

Case 2
Imagine that you throw your coin and you get only tails, then you would stop when you get the first head. So the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

Therefore the probability that you stop at the fifth flip would be

(b)
The expected numbers of flips needed would be

Therefore, suppose that
, then the expected number of flips needed would be 1/0.5 = 2.
