Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.
If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:
and simplfiying a bit:
. Multiply both sides by 5 to get
256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get
2x = 194 and divide by 2:
x = 97
The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.
Answer:
The experimental probability of the outcome is 1/4

-kitkat- i am going to say that every time lol
The one of the left isn't too tricky, in the bottom left of it you have 1/2 of 1/4 of the shape, and on the bottom right you have 1/4 of 1/4. Imagine the whole shape was cut up like that bottom right bit into 16 triangles, then you would have three of them shaded (see my diagram).
The one on the right seems like guesswork to me, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. It look like you just have to use your eyes to work out how much of the bottom half of the shape is shaded: looks like 1/16 to me (i.e. you can draw four of those along and four down, again, see my diagram.) So plus the top half, which is 8/16, you get 9/16.
Answers: left picture: 3/16.
right picture: 9/16.
