Answer:

The chances of Yvonne to get a blue berry candy in the two cases are 1 and 1/2 in case 1 and 2/3 in the case 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Maurice has a paper bag  with three hard candies

2 blueberries and 1 green apple

Yvonne and Kate want 1 candy each

It is not mentioned that ether Kate has taken a candy already before Yvonne or not so we will consider both the cases

Case 1

If Kate has picked a candy before Yvonne

  • If Kate gets an Apple green candy then the probability or Yvonne to get a Blueberry  will be = 2/2 = 1 ( as there will 2 blueberry candy left in the bag)
  • If Kate has taken a Blueberry candy then there will be 1 blueberry and 1 apple green candy in the bag so the probability of Yvonne to get a Blueberry candy will be  = 1/2

Case 2

If Kate has not taken any candy from the bag before Yvonne

Probability that Yvonne will get a blueberry candy will be = 2/3

Therefore the chances of Yvonne to get a blue berry candy in the two cases are 1 and 1/2 in case 1 and 2/3 in the case 2.

Calculate the mean absolute deviation. Round your answers to 3 significant digits
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

2.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the mean by adding the values and dividing by 11 (the number of values).

mean = 62 / 11

= 5.636

Now, we  list the absolute differences between each value and the mean:

9 - 5.636 =  3.364  the others are:

3.636, 3.636, 0.636, 2.636, 3.364, 0.364, 4.364, 1.636, 1.364, 0.636

Now the MAD is the sum of these values / 11.

MAD = 25.636/11

= 2.33..
