Question

A local charity holds a carnival to raise money. In one activity, participants make a $3 donation for a chance to spin a

Answer 1

Answer:

The  median of the distribution is (first option);

1

Step-by-step explanation:

The values on the given table are presented as follows;

$\begin{array}{cccccc}Value \ of \ Spin&0&1&2&5&10\\Probability&0.4&0.2&0.2&0.1&0.1\end{array}$

To find the median, we calculate the cumulative probabilities to find the value of the spin art which the cumulative probability is 0.5 as follows;

Cumulative probability, starting from the left, is therefore;

Probability for spin of 0, 0.4 + Probability for spin of 1, 0.2 = 0.6

Therefore, given that the probability of 0.5 occurs within the Value of Spin 1, the median of the probability distribution is 1
