-11/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
68% of an investment earning a return between 6 percent and 24 percent.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 15
Standard deviation = 9
How likely is it to earn a return between 6 percent and 24 percent?
6 = 15 - 1*9
6 is one standard deviation below the mean
24 = 15 + 1*9
24 is one standard deviation above the mean
By the empirical rule, there is a 68% of an investment earning a return between 6 percent and 24 percent.
There are 9 marbles in the bag. We pick 2 without replacement and get a probability of 1/6.
Each draw of a marble has a probability associated with it. Multiplying these gives 1/6 so let us assume the probabilities are (1/3) and (1/2).
In order for the first draw to have a probability of 1/3 we need to draw a color that has (1/3)(9)=3 marbles. So let's say there are 3 red marbles. The P(a red marble is drawn) = 1/3.
Now that a marble has been drawn there are 8 marbles left. In order for the second draw to have a probability of 1/2 we must draw a color that has (1/2)(8) = 4 marbles. So let's say there are 4 blue marbles out of the 8.
Since there are 9 marbles to start and we have 3 red marbles and 4 blue marbles, the remaining 2 marbles must be a different color. Let us say they are green.
The problem is: There are 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles and 2 green marbles in a jar. A marble is picked at random, it's color is noted and the marble is not replaced. A second marble is drawn at random and its color noted. What is the probability that the first marble is red and the second blue?
Rolling a sum of seven with a pair of dice...any of the six numbers can be first so that probability is:
(6/6) or 1 :P
Now to roll a sum of seven only one unique number can follow the first so the probability of getting that unique number so that you have a sum of seven is:
(1/6)
This is a compound event because two thing must happen and you multiply their respective probabilities to get the probability of the compound even..
(6/6)(1/6)=6/36=1/6
