Statistics is maths.

Why:-

Statistics is related to maths because we study, use and even consider statistic problems with reference to mathematics.

• It is mostly used to find the census, which is maths.

• It is used to find interest rates and other banking terms using statistics, which is again related to math.

• It is also used to find the average people living in a village or panchayat, which is also math.

Therefore I strongly believe that Statistics is Maths.

Thank You!

There are 3 red and 8 green balls in a bag. If you randomly choose balls one at a time, with replacement, what is the probabilit

Kaylis [27]

So, the total number of balls is 11. We want to pick 2 red balls and 1 green ball. WLOG (since order doesnt matter here), we can say he picks red, green, red. That means on his first pick, he has a $\frac{3}{11}$ chance of picking the red ball, and he places it back in the bag. The probability of picking a green ball is $\frac{8}{11}$ , and then he places the ball back in the bag. The probability of picking the last red ball is the same as the last red ball example, and we simply multiply the probabilities together as per the multiplication rule to get:

$\frac{3}{11}\frac{3}{11}\frac{8}{11}=\frac{3*3*8}{11^3}=\frac{72}{1331}$

Now, without replacement the order does matter. He picks a red ball, a red ball then a green ball. The probability of picking the first red ball is $\frac{2}{11}$ , and the probability of picking the second red ball is $\frac{1}{10}$ and the probability of picking the green ball is $\frac{1}{9}$ . We want to multiply thm again, as per the multiplication rule like the last problem.

$\frac{2}{11}*\frac{1}{10}*\frac{1}{9}=\frac{1}{11*5*9}=\frac{1}{495}$

A mouse climbs up a well of 86 meters. It advances 14 meters during the night, but during the day it retreats 2. The mouse will

Deffense [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

we assume day and night are equally long.

and the mouse will start at night of day 1.

then, on day 2, it will first retreat 2 meters (during daylight) and then advance 14 meters (at night).

so, on every full day, the mouse will effectively advance 12 meters (-2 + 14 = 12).

with a starting value of 14 (the first night).

so, we are getting an arithmetic sequence

an = an-1 + c

c = 12 in our case.

a1 = 14

a2 = a1 + 12 = 14+12 = 26

a3 = a2 + 12 = a1 + 12 + 12 = 14 + 2×12 = 38

an = a1 + (n-1)×12 = 14 + 12(n-1)

at what n will it reach 86 ?

86 = 14 + 12(n-1) = 14 + 12n - 12 = 2 + 12n

84 = 12n

n = 7

so, on the 7th day the mouse will reach the surface (if we truly count the first starting night day 1 - this is up to your teacher, but I would).
