Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The experiment consist in "a fair coin is tossed 4 times" the recorded variable is X: number of heads obtained after tossing the coin 4 times

The possible values for this variable: X: 0; 1; 2; 3; 4

The frequencies observed for each possible value of X after repeating the experiment for n=80 times

fi: 4; 8; 36; 20; 12

To create the probability distribution you have to calculate the probability for each value of X, by doing the following calculation p(xi)= \frac{fi}{n}

p(X=0)= p(0)= 4/80= 0.05

p(X=1)= p(1)= 8/80= 0.10

p(X=2)= p(2)= 36/80= 0.45

p(X=3)= p(3)= 20/80= 0.25

p(X=4)= p(4)= 12/80= 0.15

For this to be a probability of distribution the following conditions are to be met:

  • p(xi)≥0
  • ∑p(xi)=1

All calculated probabilities are at most zero.

∑p(xi)= 0.05+0.10+0.45+0.25+0.15= 1

  xi | 0 | 1 |   2 |  3  | 4

   fi | 4 | 8 | 36| 20 | 12

p(xi)| 0.05| 0.10| 0.45| 0.25| 0.15

F(Xi)|0.05| 0.15 | 0.60| 0.85| 1

I hope this helps!

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

=Barlow by 181 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

lets calculate the no of boys in Barlow

=4/9×873=388

388 boys

in Willow school

to bet no of boys

3/3-2/3=1/3

1/3×620=207(in a calculator it will give you decimals so i rounded of to the nearest whole no.)

388-207=181

MrRa [10]

Incomple question. However, here's the remaining part of the question:

14

2009

Meadow Fritillary= 5

Variegated Fritillary= 7

Zebra Swallowtail= 33

Eastern-Tailed Blue= 242

Louden County Butterfly Count

2010

Meadow Fritillary 34

Variegated Fritillary 95

Zebra Swallowtail 21

Eastern-Tailed Blue 168

2011

Meadow Fritillary

Variegated Fritillary

Zebra Swallowtail

Eastern-Tailed Blue

10

170

<u>Options</u>:

A) All butterfly populations are steadily decreasing.

B)All butterfly populations were larger than usual in 2010.

C)The Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the others.

D)The Meadow Fritillary is equally common as the Variegated Fritillary

Answer:

<u>C</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking through the above count data by Louden County Wildlife Conservancy from 2009 to 2011 we notice the Eastern- Trailed Blue butterfly has a higher count, which implies that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than the other butterflies.

Therefore, we could infer from the samples, that the Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly is more common than others from the records of the past 3 three years.

Answer:

The given coordinates of the vertices of rectangle ABCD are A(−2,2),B(4,2),C(4,−2).

We are to plot D on the graph.

Since ABCD is a rectangle, the abscissa of D will be that of A and the ordinate of D will be that of C.
