Answer:

\dfrac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The number of observations is:

6, 10, 12

If we are to use a simple  random sampling without replacement, then we will have:

(6,10)  (6,12)  (10,12)

Here;

the sample size n = 2

The population size N = 3

For (6,10) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{6+10}{2}

= \dfrac{16}{2}

= 8

For (6,12) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{6+12}{2}

= \dfrac{18}{2}

= 9

For (10, 12) ; The sample mean = \dfrac{10+12}{2}

= \dfrac{22}{2}

= 11

The probability distribution of sample mean(x) is:

X           8           9          11

P(X=x)    \dfrac{1}{3}          \dfrac{1}{3}           \dfrac{1}{3}

Thus, the probability that the sample mean  is larger than 8 is:

P(X> 8) = P(X = 9) + P(X + 11)

P(X> 8) = \dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}

P(X > 8) = \dfrac{1+1}{3}

P(X> 8) = \dfrac{2}{3}

Y=3x-2 what is the value of y? when y=-1/3
Olin [163]
Oddly enough, when y=-1/3, the value of y is -1/3.

When x = -1/3, the value of y is
.. y = 3*(-1/3) -2
.. = -1 -2
.. = -3

When x = -1/3, the value of y is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a point P that will be the vertex of the new angle.

From P, draw a ray PQ. ...

Place the compasses on point A, set to any convenient width.

Draw an arc across both sides of the angle, creating the points J and K as shown.

lorasvet [3.4K]
If he gets 20% commission and he sold $2580, multiply 2580 * .2 to get what he made
2580*.2 = $516

Hellllppppp meeeeeee plzzzzz fasttttt
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

A rate: a measure, quantity, or frequency, typically one measured against some other quantity or measure.

A unit rate: When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. If you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.

Hope this helps.
