1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 3/6 = 1/2

One <em>possible counterexample</em> is:

1/4 + 1/5 + 1/20 = 1/2.

In this problem, we would find the least common denominator for 4, 5 and 20. The first thing all 3 numbers will divide into is 20:

1/4 = 5/20; 1/5 = 4/20; 1/20 = 1/20

This gives us: 5/20 + 4/20 + 1/20

Adding the numerators, we get (5+4+1)/20 = 10/20 = 1/2.

Two percent of the customers of a store buy cigars. Half of the customers who buy cigars buy beer. 25 percent who buy beer buy c
enyata [817]

Answer:

0.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability that a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is given below;

Given that, the probabilities are

The customers who purchased cigars be 0.02

The customers who purchased cigars + beer 0.50

And, the customers who purchased beer + cigars be 0.25

Now the probabilities where the customer purchased both

= 0.05 × 0.02

= 0.10

The probability where the customer purchased beer is

= 0.01 ÷ 0.25

= 0.04

Now the probability where a customer neither buys beer nor buys cigars is

= 1 - 0.02 + 0.04 - 0.01

= 0.95

A game is played using one die. If the die is rolled and shows 1, the player wins $5. If the die shows any number other than 1,
mash [69]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

i had a similar question

For each roll you start with paying 2 dollars and you only with 10 dollars one out of 6 rolls (on average). 

So the cost for one play is 2 dollars and your win is 10/6. 

Value is -2+10/6=-1/3 dollars

So you lose 1/3 dollars on average with each game

since you have no limited rolls u put 1/5

this from another question but both same just different numbers

The CEO of a local tech company wants to estimate the proportion of employees that are pleased with the cleanliness of the break
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Methods of obtaining a sample of 600 employees from the 4,700 workforce:

Part A:  The type of sampling method proposed by the CEO is Convenience Sampling.

Part B: When there are equal number of participants in both campuses, stratification by campus would give a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender.  Another method to ensure that stratification by campus gives a more precise approximation of the proportion of employees who are satisfied with the cleanliness of the breakrooms than stratification by gender is to ensure that the sample is proportional to the proportion of each campus to the whole population or workforce.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Convenience Sampling technique is a non-probability (non-random) sampling method and the participants are selected based on availability (early attendees).  The early attendees might be different from the late attendees in characteristics such as age, sex, etc.  Therefore, sampling biases are present.  All non-probability sampling methods are prone to volunteer bias.

Stratified sampling  is more accurate and representative of the population.  It reduces sampling bias.  The difficulty arises in choosing the characteristic to stratify by.
