In order to find the expected age, we must multiply the probability of picking each child by their age, then add them all up. Like this:

E(x) = 4(1/2) + 5(1/10) + 6(3/10) + 7(1/10)
E(x) = 5 years

By doing this we are giving each age group a percentage of the entire population.

Hope this helps!

9) Because the total number of pencils is 180 and you will use them up in 30 days, the equation will have to equal 0 total pencils when 30 is substituted in for the time factor, or x. This already takes our choice 3 because it doesn’t meet this criteria.
The answer to how many pencils in 20 days could be answered by plugging in 20 for x. Choice 4 cannot work because it results in a negative number of pencils. Choices 1 and 2 use the same equation, so by plugging in 20 it is clear choice 2 is the correct answer.

10) A line parallel to the go en equation would have the same slope, -3, which means choices 1 and 4 are out. Plug in (-2,5) into both choices 2 and 3. Plugging -2 into x in choice 2 gives -5, and in choice 3 gives 5 for the y value. Therefore choice 3 is correct.
