It has become somewhat fashionable to have students derive the Quadratic Formula themselves; this is done by completing the square for the generic quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0. While I can understand the impulse (showing students how the Formula was invented, and thereby providing a concrete example of the usefulness of abstract symbolic manipulation), the computations involved are often a bit beyond the average student at this point.
Answer:
The mean for Stem is 2.5
The mean for Leaf is 81.25
The heads probability is ½ and the two’s probability is 1/6. So ½ x 1/6 gives you 1/12. The answer is A. 1/12. Hope this helps.
Answer:
$16.25
Step-by-step explanation:
