Problem 1
Answer: Closer to 1
Explanation:
There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.
================================================
Problem 2
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 3
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 4
Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely
Explanation:
We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%
The answer #6 is j. 100. He uses the treadmill for 40% so that means 60% of his exercise is not on the treadmill.
40%= 40 mins
60%= 60 mins
total: 100%= 100 mins.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
the first option
Step-by-step explanation:
really, just look at the table.
is the mean value (10.4) larger than the median (13.4) ?
I hope you can see right away that it is not.
and you can see they are not the same either.
so, all the answer options mentioning mean larger than median or equal to median can be ruled out right away.
so, it is between the first two options.
now think ! how do we draw number lines ? a coordinate axis ?
the smaller numbers left, the larger numbers right. the numbers grow from left to right.
the mean value is simply the sum of all measurements divided by the number of measurements (how many median were done). if that is smaller that the median (so, the Mean is left of the Median), it means that the majority of measurements had a result smaller (to the left) than the Median. so, it is skewed-left.
11
11 is an odd number
and there is no 2 digit number less than 10
