With what you know about probabilities, which one makes the most sense for question 1?

OpenStudy (alina123):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The survey revealed that 20/50 liked fall, while only 6/50 liked winter. So, I probably wouldn't say that there is the same amount. That's quite a large difference within 50 data points!

OpenStudy (alina123):

D, i didnt read c carefully

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd agree with D :)

OpenStudy (alina123):

yeh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For question 2, I'm not familiar with that graphing style. I need to find out exactly what it means (specifically, what the box represents. I get the impression that it represents some number of standard deviations, but I need to know for sure). Stay with me. Hopefully this won't take but a moment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, you may want to get some clarification on this one, but I'd go with B. The girls values show more variation, as illustrated by the larger range. However, they show a lower standard deviation (if you've covered this), as they are more focused around one region.

OpenStudy (alina123):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The next one reads like they want you to list all possible combinations of heads and tails that can be made by tossing 4 coins at once. Since you are tossing them all at once, you lose track of which quarter is which (order doesn't matter), so it's a bit easier than before. 4H 3H 1T etc. If they want you to keep track of each quarter, it would look like: HHHH HHHT HHTH HTHH THHH etc. through all the possible combinations.

OpenStudy (alina123):

ok

OpenStudy (alina123):

i got 10 combinations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which way are you doing it? Either way, 10 shouldn't be your answer.

OpenStudy (alina123):

a list

OpenStudy (alina123):

what did you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If order doesn't matter: 5 If order does matter: 16

OpenStudy (alina123):

ok

OpenStudy (alina123):

for 16 what would be the probability

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of what? All we've done is count the total number of combinations possible.

OpenStudy (alina123):

oh part b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, how many different ways can the quarters fall to leave two heads and two tails? Example: HHTT, HTHT, etc.

OpenStudy (alina123):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HHTT HTHT THHT HTTH THTH TTHH

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 ways, with a total of 16 combinations. Which gives us what probability?

OpenStudy (alina123):

6 out of 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Reduce it, and you have your answer :)

OpenStudy (alina123):

3/8

OpenStudy (alina123):

number 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, some terminology that I'm not familiar with. One second.

OpenStudy (alina123):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't find anything solid for that one. I've never heard of a "mean average distribution" before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd suggest trying to get the attention of someone else to help you on what's left. Unfortunately, I have to go. Best of luck to you!

OpenStudy (alina123):

k

OpenStudy (alina123):

can u just help with number 5 part a

OpenStudy (alina123):

a and b
