Answer: The students can be divided into 7 groups.

Each group will have 3 boys and 8 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 21 boys and 56 girls.

To divide them so that each group has the same number of both boys and girls.

We find GCD(21,56).

21 = 3 x 7

56 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7

GCD (21,56) = 7

So, the students can be divided into 7 groups.

Number of girls in each group = \dfrac{56}{7}=8

Number of boys in each group = \dfrac{21}{7}=3

So, each group will have 3 boys and 8 girls.

90 men and 60 women were asked if they had watched the latest 'Expendables' movie.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

63 men said no.

Step-by-step explanation

3/5 * 2/2 = 6/10, 6/10 - 3/10 (women) = 3/10 meaning 7/10 men said no. 90*1.7 = 153, 153-90=63

A recent survey shows that the probability of a college student drinking alcohol is 0.6. further, given that the student is over
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive; this means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B|A)

Let A be the event "over 21 years old" and B be the event "drinks alcohol".  

The probability that a student is over 21 years old is 0.3; this is because 30% of the students are over 21 years old.

The probability that a student drinks alcohol given they are over 21 is 0.8.

This gives us

P(A and B) = 0.3(0.8) = 0.24

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of
yuradex [85]
A. The mean and standard deviation.

The mean of a sampling distribution is approximately equal to the mean of the population. Given that the mean of the population is equal to 174.5, the mean of the sampling distribution is also this value.

The standard deviation of a sample distribution is equal to,

                u(m) = u/sqrt n

Substituting the known values,

               u(m) = 6.9 / sqrt 25 = 1.38

b. Get the z-score of both items,
         
      z-score = (data point - mean) / standard deviation

 z-score of 172.5
     z-score = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
This translates to 0.068.

z-score of 175.8
   z-score = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
This translates to 0.83. 

The difference between the two z-scores is 0.762. 

 The number of samples with this height is 0.762(200) which is equal to approximately 152.

c. z-score of 172 centimeters
   
    z-score = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38
  
    z-score = -1.81
This translates to 0.03.

The number of people with this height from the sample is (0.03)(200) = 6
