Total number of sheets are 12.

Total number of white sheets= 9

Total number of red sheets = 3

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes.

Hence

When Calvin throws the sheets in the air, the probability that he gets a white sheet is

\frac{9}{12}

which equals to \frac{3}{4}

that becomes 0.75

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

From the relative frequency below:

For NORTH - SOUTH:

Monday - Thursday = 115 ; has a relative frequency of 75.16%,

Hence, we can obtain the row total since it amounts to 100% thus;

75.16% of row total = 115

0.7516× row total = 115

Row total = 115 / 0.7516 = 153.00

Hence, Friday - sunday:

Row total - (Monday-Thursday)

153 - 115 = 38

FOR EAST - WEST:

Monday - Thursday = 21 ; has a relative frequency of 25.30%,

Hence, we can obtain the row total since it amounts to 100% thus;

25.30% of row total = 21

0. 253 × row total = 21

Row total = 21 / 0.253 = 83.00

Hence, Friday - sunday:

Row total - (Monday-Thursday)

83 - 21 = 62

x = (38 / 100) × 100%

x = 0.38 × 100%

x = 38.00 %

Alenkinab [10]
The owner is most likely cheating because it is usually a 50|50 chance of winning. But, you usually only get 50, and win a bit less and loose more. So, he is most likely cheating. (Hope this helped  :D)

Under what circumstances will the chi-square test for goodness of fit produce a large value for chi-square? Question options: a.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

a.when the sample proportions are much different than the hypothesized population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square test for goodness of fit is used to check the sample data were distributed according to claim or not.

If the chi-square test produces a large value of chi-square statistic then there is not a good fit between sample data and the null hypothesis. So, the sample proportions are much different than the hypothesized population proportions. Hence,Option (a) is correct.

If the goodness of fit produces a large value for chi-square then the sample means must not be close to the population mean. So, option (b) is incorrect.
