A random survey was taken in Centerville. People in twenty-five homes were asked how many cars were registered to their househol
d. The results are shown in the list below. 1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 4, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1 What is the mean, median, and mode of the Centerville data? a. 1.6, 1, 1 c. 1, 1, 1 b. 1.6, 2, 1 d. 2, 2, 2
In order to find the mean, you first count how many numbers are there. Then, you add all numbers together and divide them by the total of numbers. In this case, you would add (1+2+1+0+3+4+0+1+1+1+2+2+3+2+3+2+1+4+0+0+2+2+1+1+1), which equals to 40. The total of numbers is 25. You divide 40 by 25, and it would get you 1.6. Therefore, your mean is 1.6.
To calculate the median, you list the numbers from least to greatest, and find the middle number. The list for this survey would be 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4. The middle number of this list is 1, therefore, your median is 1.
The mode is simply the number that appears the most in this list. There are 4 zeroes, 9 ones, 7 twos, 3 threes, and 2 fours. The most in this list would be 1, because there are 9 of them. Your mode is 1.
0.0045 = 0.45% probability that less than two of them ended in a divorce
Step-by-step explanation:
For each marriage, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it ended in divorce, or it did not. The probability of a marriage ending in divorce is independent of any other marriage. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
55% of marriages in the state of California end in divorce within the first 15 years.
This means that
Suppose 10 marriages are randomly selected.
This means that
What is the probability that less than two of them ended in a divorce?
This is
In which
0.0045 = 0.45% probability that less than two of them ended in a divorce
P(A) is the probability that the selected student plays soccer.
Then:
P(B) is the probability that the selected student plays basketball.
Then:
P(A and B) is the probability that the selected student plays soccer and basketball:
P(A|B) is the probability that the student plays soccer given that he plays basketball. In this case, as it is given that he plays basketball only 10 out of 50 plays soccer:
P(A | B) is equal to P(A), because the proportion of students that play soccer is equal between the total group of students and within the group that plays basketball. We could assume that the probability of a student playing soccer is independent of the event that he plays basketball.
