Answer:

The probability that exactly two of the selected bulbs are rated 23-watt is:

= 19%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of fluorescent light bulbs in the box = 21

7/21 = 13-watt rated light bulbs

8/21 = 18-watt rated light bulbs

6/21 = 23-watt rated light bulbs

The probability of selected a 23-watt rated light bulb = 6/21 = 28.57%

Size of random selection of bulbs = 3

The probability that 2 out of these 3 bulbs are 23-watt rated light bulbs is:

= 6/21 * 2/3 = 19%

b) The probability of selecting 2 of the 3 bulbs from exactly the 23-watt rated bulbs is the probability of the 23-watt rated bulbs being selected given the chance of selecting 2/3.

Find the mean, meadian, mode and range for each set of data 6, 9, 2, 4, 3, 6, 5
Helga [31]

Mean: Add up the numbers and divide the sum by the number of values in the set.

6 + 9 + 2 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 5 = 35

35 / 7 = 5

Median: Sort the set from the smallest value to the largest value and select the number in the middle. If the count of the set if even, then select the two middle values and take their mean average.

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 9

            ^

So, the median average is 5.

Mode: What number appears the most frequently?

The mode of the set is 6 because it appears twice.

Range: Sort the set by ascending order and take the smallest value and subtract that from the largest value in the set.

9 - 2 = 7

The range is 7.

How is multiplying exponents (x^2*x^4) different from raising a power to a power((x^2)^4)? Ty =)
Contact [7]

Answer:

When your multiplying exponents in the same parenthasis like x^2*x^4, you'll add the exponents so it will be x^6. If it is outside the parenthasis like (x^2)^4 you'll multiply the exponents so it will be x^8. good luck! :)
