Helen [10]

Answer:

a) 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%

b) 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%

c) The first option - the theoretical and experimental values should become closer the more trials that are performed.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 4 of Tammy's 25 spins landed on black, so the experimental probability is 4/25, or 0.16, or 16%.

b) The spinner is split into 5 equal sections. Assuming it is fair, the chance of landing in any given section for a single spin is 1/5, or 0.2, or 20%.

c) The theoretical and experimental values should get closers the more trials you do.

For example, consider 1 coin flip vs 100. The theoretical probability of landing on a given side of a coin is 1/2, or 0.5, or 50%. With a single flip, your experimental probability will either be 0% or 100%, both off of the theoretical probability by 50%. After 100 flips however, the experimental and theoretical probabilities will be much closer to each other.

daisy mixes 50ml of orange juice with 200ml of water. Write down the ratio of Orange Juice to Water. Give your answer in simples

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume of orange juice = 50ml

Volume of water = 200mL

Required

Ratio of volume of orange juice to water

Ratio = volume of orange juice/volume of water

Ratio =50mL/200mL

Ratio =5/20

Ratio =1/4 or 1:4

Hence the required ratio is 1:4

What is a formula for the nth term of a given sequence

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$a_n=-12-4(n-1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is

-12,-16,-20...

The first term of this sequence is $a_1=-12$ .

The common difference is

$d=-16--12$

$d=-16+12=-4$

The nth term of this arithmetic sequence is;

$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$

We substitute the values for the first term and the common difference to obtain;

$a_n=-12-4(n-1)$

Sample standard deviation

Mean of data = 84.4

Calculate deviations from the mean = 23.4, 17.8, 3.4, 1.4, -2.6, -3.6, -4.6, -5.6, -13.6 and -15.6

Squaring these deviations; we get 547.56, 316.84, 11.56, 1.96, 6.76, 12.96, 21.15, 31.36, 184.96, 243.36

Adding these we get 1378.47

As its a sample Std Dev we divide by 10 - 1 = 9. For the popklation Std Dev we divide by the number of scores (10).

Std Deviation for sample = sqrt ( 1378.47 / 9) = 12.4 to nearest tenth (answer)

Population Std Dev = sqrt (1378.47 / 10) = 11.7 answer

Theres a lot of arithmetic there so hope i haven't slipped up anywhere!

What is one of the solutions to the following system of equations?

Amanda [17]

Answer:

(8,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $x^{2} +y^{2} =65$

$x+y=7$

To Find: solution of given system of equations.

Solution:

Equation a : $x^{2} +y^{2} =65$

Equation b : $x+y=7$

Substitute the value of y from equation b in equation a

y from equation b : y = 7-x

Now substitute value of y in equation a

Thus equation a becomes:

$x^{2} +(7-x)^{2} =65$

$x^{2} +49+x^{2}-14x =65$

$2x^{2} -14x =65-49$

$x^{2} -7x -8=0$

$x^{2} -8x+x -8=0$

$x(x-8)+1(x-8)=0$

$(x+1)(x-8)=0$

⇒ x= -1 and x = 8

Now substitute values of x in equation b to obtains values of y

⇒ $x+y=7$

for x = -1

⇒ $-1+y=7$

⇒ $y=7+1$

⇒ $y=8$

Thus (x,y)=(-1,8)

For x =8

⇒ $8+y=7$

⇒ $y=7-8$

⇒ $y=-1$

Thus (x,y)=(8,-1)

Hence Option A is the correct solution .
