Answer:
a) 0.2778
b) 0.3611
c) 0.1389
d) 0.0833
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a total of 5 + 3 + 1 = 9 balls
a) First ball being yellow: we have 5 yellow balls, so P1 = 5/9
Second ball being yellow after one yellow was drawn: we have 4 yellows and 8 balls, so P2 = 4/8 = 1/2
Both yellows: P = P1 * P2 = 5/18 = 0.2778
b) Both blues:
P1 = 3/9 = 1/3
P2 = 2/8 = 1/4
P = P1 * P2 = 1/12 = 0.0833
Both yellows or both blues: 5/18 + 1/12 = 0.2778 + 0.0833 = 0.3611
c) First yellow: P1 = 5/9
Second red: P2 = 1/8
Pa = P1 * P2 = 5/72
or
First red: P3 = 1/9
Second yellow: P4 = 5/8
Pb = P3 * P4 = 5/72
P = Pa + Pb = 10/72 = 5/36 = 0.1389
d) First blue: P1 = 3/9 = 1/3
Second red: P2 = 1/8
Pa = P1 * P2 = 1/24
or
First red: P3 = 1/9
Second blue: P4 = 3/8
Pb = P3 * P4 = 1/24
P = Pa + Pb = 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833
First you want to organize it from least to greatest: 4, 5, 5, <em>6, 10</em>, 11, 12, 13
Then look for the one in the middle. But oh wait there are 2 so you need to add 6 and 10 then divide it by 2 to get a median of 8.
A song I learned back then is this I don't know who it is by though: Mode, mode, mode is the most, Average is the mean.Median, median, median, median, The number in between.
I think that's 2x but I'm not really sure.
I hope this helps.
