The odds against a spinner showing an even number are 3:8. What is the probability of the spinner showing an even number?

1 answer:

6 0

Odds: yes/no
Probability: yes/total

3:8 represents odds of 'not even' which is the same as odds of an odd number being spun.
There are 3 odd numbers and 8 even numbers.
P(even) = 8/11

The pH of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. She obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(a)7.185

(b)0.000371

(d)Sample variance and Sample standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following sample data.

7.15, 7.20, 7.18, 7.19, 7.21, 7.20, 7.17, 7.18.

(a) Calculate the sample mean. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

The formula for sample mean =

Sum of terms/Number of terms

= 7.15 + 7.20+ 7.18+7.19+7.21+7.20+7.17+ 7.18/8

= 57.48/8

= 7.185

(b) Calculate the sample variance. Round your answer to 6 decimal places.

The formula for sample Variance =

(x - mean)²/n - 1

n = 8

Sample variance = (7.15 - 7.185)² + (7.20-

7.185)²+ (7.18 -7.185)² + (7.19 -7.185)² + (7.21 - 7.185)² + (7.20 - 7.185)² + (7.17 - 7.185)² + (7.18 - 7.185)² /8 - 1

= 0.001225 + 0.000225+ 0.000025+ 0.000025 + 0.000625 + 0.000225 + 0.000225 + 0.000025/7

= 0.0026/7

= 0.000371428571

Approximately to 6 decimal places = 0.000371

The formula for Sample Standard Deviation = √Sample variance

= √0.000371428571

= 0.01927248223

To 3 decimal places = 0.019

(d) Which of the following are potential major sources of variability in the experiment

Sample variance

Sample standard deviation

6) What are ED and FD?

kolezko [41]

Answer:

ED = 12 and FD = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

The perpendicular distance between the three parallel lines are same i.e. AB = BC = 8

Therefore, the parallel lines will divide any transverse line ( say FD ) in 1 : 1 ratio i.e. will divide equally.

Therefore, FE = ED = 12 units.

Again, FD = FE + ED = 12 + 12 = 24 units. (Answer)

In a research laboratory, a scientist measures the mass of a 1-carat diamond and finds it to be 200 milligrams, measured to the

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$D=3.5\ gr/cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Density</u>

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is given by

$\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}$

It can be expressed in common units like $gr/lt, Kg/m^3, gr/cm^3$ or any other combination of proper mass [M] by volume [V] units.

The data provided in the question is

$m=200\ mg = 0.2\ gr$

$V=0.057\ cm^3$

Thus, the measured density is

$\displaystyle D=\frac{0.2\ gr}{0.057 \ cm^3}$

$\boxed{D=3.5\ gr/cm^3}$

We have expressed the result with 1 decimal place because the mass was measured to the nearest hundred milligrams (or one-tenth grams). Any further decimal is senseless because that precision comes from calculations, not from measurements.
