Answer:

  Mark must score at least 11 points to have an average of 10 points per game.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of a set of data is its sum, divided by the number of data points in the set. If p is the number of points Mark scores in his next game, and he wants his average at least 10, then the relation is ...

  (12 +14 +10 +8 +5 +p)/6 ≥ 10

  49 +p ≥ 60 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 6 and simplify

  p ≥ 11 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 49

Mark must score at least 11 points in the next game to average at least 10 points per game.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Sometimes, it is convenient to work with the average directly. Relative to the average Mark wants (10), his scores so far are +2, +4, 0, -2, -5, for a total of -1. In order to bring the average to the value Mark wants, he must bring this total to 0 or higher. That is, he must score at least 10+1 = 11 points in his next game.

A bag contains n white tiles and five black tiles. The tiles are all equal in shape and sizes. A tile is drawn at random and is
pochemuha

We know that our bag has n white tiles and 5 black tiles.

So, the total number of tiles in the bag is n + 5.

We know that a tile is drawn at random and is replaced, then a second tile is drawn.

a) We want to find the probability that the first tile is white.

Because all the tiles have the same probability of being randomly drawn, the probability of drawing a white tile is just the quotient between the number of white tiles and the total number of tiles in the bag.

P = n/(n + 5)

And for the second draw, we do not have any restrictions, so the probability is the above one.

P = n/(n + 5)

b) Now we want both tiles to be white.

For the first one we already know the probability, which is:

P = n/(n + 5)

And because the tile is replaced, the probability of drawing a white tile again is exactly the same:

Q =n/(n + 5)

The joint probability (the probability of both of these outcomes to happen together) is the product of the individual probabilities.

Probability = P*Q = (n/(n + 5))^2
