Answer:

a) 0.1818

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The odd that it'll snow tomorrow is 9 to 6

The probability that it will snow tomorrow $=\dfrac{9}{9+6}$

$=\dfrac{9}{15}$

= 0.6

The probability that it'll not snow tomorrow $= 1 - \dfrac{9}{15}$

$= \dfrac{15-9}{15}$

$=\dfrac{6}{15}$

= 0.4

Let assume that the odd that it'll snow tomorrow is 9 to 2

The probability that it will snow tomorrow $=\dfrac{9}{9+2}$

$=\dfrac{9}{11}$

= 0.8181

The probability that it'll not snow tomorrow $= 1 - \dfrac{9}{11}$

$= \dfrac{11-9}{11}$

$=\dfrac{2}{11}$

= 0.1818

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$

Answer:

Confidence Interval: (21596,46428)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

10520, 56910, 52454, 17902, 25914, 56607, 21861, 25039, 25983, 46929

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{340119}{10} = 34011.9$

Sum of squares of differences = 551869365.6 + 524322983.6 + 340111052.4 + 259528878 + 65575984.41 + 510538544 + 147644370.8 + 80512934.41 + 64463235.21 + 166851472.4 = 2711418821

$S.D = \sqrt{\frac{2711418821}{9}} = 17357.09$

Confidence interval:

$\mu \pm t_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 9 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.2621$

$34011.9 \pm 2.2621(\frac{17357.09}{\sqrt{10}} ) = 34011.9 \pm 12416.20 = (21595.7,46428.1) \approx (21596,46428)$
