Suppose you have a litter of mice which consists of 8 males and 4 females. If you randomly grab two of them, what is the probabi

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The probability that they are both male is 0.424 (3 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the probability of the first selection being male. This is calculated as number of male mice divided by total number of mice in the litter

Prob (1st male) = 8 ÷ 12 = 0.667

Next is to find the probability of the second selection also being male. Note that the question states that the first mice was selected without replacement. This means the first mouse taken results in a reduction in both the number of male mice and total number of mice in the litter.

Prob (2nd male) = (8 - 1) ÷ (12 - 1) = 7/11 = 0.636

Therefore,

Prob (1st male & 2nd male) = 0.667 × 0.636 = 0.424

At Brighton Middle School, Mr. Yule asked 50 randomly selected students from each grade level about their favorite subject, and

Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes, he made a reasonable inference by saying about 25 percent of students choose the science.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Number of students for survey = 50

Number of students who choose science = 12

Now

Percentage of student who choose science = $\frac{12}{50} x 100$

Percentage of student who choose science = $\frac{12*100}{50}$

Percentage of student who choose science = 24 %

Now as Mr. Yule said "about 25" percent of students choose the science it can be treated as reasonable approximation.

Now if the number of students in survey become 200, then we can expect 12 out of every 50 students would choose the science. So, in total 48 students would choose the science.

Now lets calculate the percentage of students who choose science.

Percentage of student who choose science = $\frac{48}{200} x 100$

Percentage of student who choose science = $\frac{48*100}{200}$

Percentage of student who choose science = 24 %

A scale model of a merry-go-round and the actual merry-go-round are similar. a. How many times greater is the base area of the a

Kipish [7]

The area ratio is the square of the linear dimension ratio. So if the merry-go-round base is circular, the area contains the square of the radius. If a polygon, the base can be divided into triangles. The area of each triangle involves the product of the base length and the height, so since both have the same change of length, the product will square the scaling ratio.
Let’s say the ratio of corresponding lengths is x:1 then the ratio of the base areas is x²:1.
The question doesn’t provide any figures.
Let’s put some in as an example. Let the actual merry-go-round be circular with a diameter of 20 feet, while the model is one foot in diameter. So the ratio of the actual ride and it’s model is 20:1. The area of the base of the actual ride is 100π sq ft. The area of the base of the model is π/4 sq ft. We expect the ratio of these areas to be 20²=400. 100π/(π/4)=400.

The Hamden board of education wants to know how the community feels about building a new media center for the middle school. The

Aleks [24]

According to the statement above, The Hamden board of education called every tenth person on the registration list. So let's analyze each case:

The sample is not randomly chosen (FALSE)

Given that the statement doesn't tell us anything about the way they choose the sample, it is reasonable to conclude that this is a randomly chosen. They called every tenth person on the registration list until the number of people was 40.

The sample should be larger to give more reliable information (TRUE)

You did not have to use mathematics to determine that you would need more information to get a conclusion. You must increase the sample, that is, the sample must be larger to give a reliable information.

The sample size is too large to make inferences (False)

This is explained in the previous item. If the sample should be lager is because the size is not too large.

The sample size is too small to represent the population (TRUE

This is true because 40 voters represent barely 0.5% of the entire list. This list has 7300 voters, so getting the conclusion from this sample doesn't provide with a strong conclusion.

The sample size is too small and will show larger variation. (FALSE)

Although the sample size is too small, the sample size not necessarily will show variation. In fact, it is possible that it does not show any variation and most of the people feel well about building a new media center for the middle school but it doesn't mean that the whole community does.

The sample is invalid because it randomly chooses voters. (FALSE)

It is false because in probability studies the sample is chosen randomly, so you get conclusions about the whole population always taking samples that represent the population as a whole.

The sample size is too small and can lead to false inferences (TRUE)

You can get false conclusions given that the sample size is too small. It's important to note that the sample size supports the conclusion of the study, so the sample must increase to have a reliable study.
