4. A drawer contains 21 black socks and 9 white socks. A number generator simulates randomly selecting 10 socks from the drawer.

The number generator is used 10 times and the number of black socks in each trial is shown in the plot.
Does this number generator appear to be fair?

WHY OR WHY NOT?


I know the answer is yes it appears to be fair, but please answer WHY. Thank you :)

There are 21 black socks and 9 white socks. Theoretically, the probability of picking a black sock is 21/(21+9) = 21/30 = 0.70 = 70%

Assuming we select any given sock, and then put it back (or replace it with an identical copy), then we should expect about 0.70*10 = 7 black socks out of the 10 we pick from the drawer. If no replacement is made, then the expected sock count will likely be different.

The dot plot shows the data set is

{5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8}

The middle-most value is between the first two '7's, so the median is (7+7)/2 = 14/2 = 7. This can be thought of as the average expected number of black socks to get based on this simulation. So that's why I consider it a fair number generator because it matches fairly closely with the theoretical expected number of black socks we should get. Again, this is all based on us replacing each sock after a selection is made.

What is the area of the square? Help me pls
Allushta [10]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out the circumference of the circle.

We know that the circle has a radius of 1, and that we are finding the circumference. We'll use the circumference equation of a circle.

2\pir

<u>Plug in 1 for r.</u>

2\pi (1) = 2\pi = circumference of circle

<u>Now, multiply the answer (the circumference) by 4 to get the perimeter of the square.</u>

<u />2\pi x 4 = 8\pi = perimeter of square

<u>Now, divide the perimeter by 4 to get what the side of the square is.</u>

<u />8\pi ÷ 4 = 2\pi

<u>Now, multiply </u>2\pi<u> by </u>2\pi<u> (side times side) to get the area.</u>

2\pi x  2\pi = 4\pi

The answer is A. 4\pi

Find the area of the rhombus. d1 = 14 m; d2 = 18 m The area of the rhombus is ? m2.
xxTIMURxx [149]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Area of rhombus = 126 m²

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>We are given that the two diagonals of the rhombus are:</u>

D₁ = 14 meters and D₂ = 18 meters

<u>The area of the rhombus using its diagonals can be calculated using the following rule:</u>

Area = \frac{D_1 * D_2}{2}

<u>Substitute with the given values to get the area as follows:</u>

Area = \frac{14*18}{2}=126 m^2

Hope this helps :)
