Given:

The mean age of 5 people in a room is 26 years.

A person enters the room. The mean age is now 33.

To find:

The age of the person who entered the room.

Solution:

Formula for mean:

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}

The mean age of 5 people in a room is 26 years.

26=\dfrac{\text{Sum of ages of 5 people}}{5}

26\times 5=\text{Sum of ages of 5 people}

130=\text{Sum of ages of 5 people}

The mean age is now 33. It means, the mean age of 6 people is 33.

33=\dfrac{\text{Sum of ages of 6 people}}{6}

33\times 6=\text{Sum of ages of 6 people}

198=\text{Sum of ages of 6 people}

Now, the age of the person who entered the room is

Required age = Sum of ages of 6 people - Sum of ages of 5 people

                       = 198-130

                       = 68

Therefore, the age of the person who entered the room is 68 years.

Two fair dice, one yellow and one blue, are rolled. The value of the blue die is subtracted from the value of the yellow die. Wh
mario62 [17]

Answer:

B) symmetric

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find the sample space for rolling two dices first

Here first value in ordered pair represents yellow die and second represents blue die

(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)

The subtraction gives us:

0 , -1 , -2, -3, -4, -5, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -2, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

So the distribution will be as follows:

X      5       4       3       2        1        0        -1       -2      -3       -4      -5

P(X)  1/36  2/36  3/36 4/36  5/36  6/36  5/36  4/36  3/36  2/36  1/36

By observing the probabilities, we can conclude that the distribution will be symmetric

Hence, Option B is correct ..

There are 3 red balls, 5 green balls, and 1 yellow ball in a hat. If you draw the yellow ball, you gain $10. If you draw any of
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

19.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information:

3 red balls, 5 green balls, and 1 yellow ball

In total there are 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 balls.

We calculate the probability of each:

Network: 3/9

Green: 5/9

Yellow: 1/9

Each one corresponds a price in profit or losses:

Network: 4

Green: -3

Yellow: 10

So in total it would be the sum of the multiplication of the probability and the price and then multiply everything by 25:

(4 * 3/9 + -3 * 5/9 + 10 * 1/9) * 25 = (0.777) * 25

= 19.44
