Answer:
the answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the total number of possible samples = 4 * 4 = 16 (As 4 choices for each value)
in addition we have to as all sample occur with equal probability, probability of each sample = 1/16, below is samling distribution of mean
x1 x2 probabilityP(x1,x2) sample mean
190 190 1/16 190
190 100 1/16 145
190 272 1/16 231
190 74 1/16 132
100 190 1/16 145
100 100 1/16 100
100 272 1/16 186
100 74 1/16 87
272 190 1/16 231
272 100 1/16 186
272 272 1/16 272
272 74 1/16 173
74 190 1/16 132
74 100 1/16 87
74 272 1/16 173
74 74 1/16 74
Summarizing above with adding duplicate values
sample mean probability
74 1/16
87 1/8
100 1/16
132 1/8
145 1/8
173 1/8
186 1/8
190 1/16
231 1/8
272 1/16
Vertex aka max or min point is found by -b/2a in form
f(x)=ax^2+bx+c
f(x)=-1x^2+8x+20
vertex x value is -8/(2)(-1)=-8/-2=4
input back to find y value
f(4)=-(4^2)+8*4+20
f(4)=-16+32+20
f(4)=36
max (since the graph opens down) is (4,36)
axis of symmetry is the x coordinate
max is (4,36)
axis of symmetrry is x=4
P(boy) is asking for the probability that a boy will be chosen to read a poem out loud. Since there are 15 boys, we can get the probability by dividing this with the total number of students. This is because out of all the students, there is an equal possibility that each of the 15 boys will be chosen.
ANSWER: The probability that a boy is selected is 0.5357 or 53.57%
3 men and 5 women....total of 8 people.
Probability of picking a women is : 5/8......because there is 5 women in a room of 8 people.
