the graph shows the quantity of each piece in a toy building kit One piece is missing What is the probability that the missing piece is a red piece with 4 holes?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

@Directrix

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

is it 22%?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

The OS site is acting the fool. I could not post and had to open up another browser.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yeah i know they are going to fix it , it also shows that you are online all the time

Directrix (directrix):

Do you see from the stacked bar graph that we have 2 red pieces with 4 holes? I'm asking because I need affirmation that I am reading this graph correctly.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yes you are correct :)

Directrix (directrix):

What is the title of this stacked bar graph? It should have one.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

no sorry it doesnt have one

Directrix (directrix):

How many toy kits are in the graph? Is it just 4 kits or is it (9 + 8 + 12 + 6) kits? I cannot tell the difference between kits and pieces on the graph.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yeah there are 36 total

Directrix (directrix):

>the graph shows the quantity of each piece in a toy building kit I got 35 total pieces.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

oh yeah you are right sorry 35

Directrix (directrix):

So, I'm thinking that the probability of the missing piece being a 4 hole red is 2/35. The bar graph should have a title, seriously.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

lol im sorry it doesnt have a title xD

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

its title is the titleless graph

Directrix (directrix):

>yeah i know they are going to fix it That was said 4 years ago. Still waiting.

Directrix (directrix):

>is it 22%? How did you get the 22%? I am not saying that it is wrong.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

I did 8/x=35/100

Directrix (directrix):

How did you get the 8? There are only 2 red-4 hole pieces. But, then -- this missing piece. Is it not shown on the graph given that it is missing along with the title of the graph?

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

ok im just now realizing I messed up by a lot

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

so the answer would be 6 then?

Directrix (directrix):

No. It cannot be 6. Probability tops out at 1. Hold on.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alright

Directrix (directrix):

I cannot tell who is online and who is off. Do you have an MC option that corresponds to 2/35? Because I do not know the name of the chart which would tell what it represents, I don't know what the deal is about the missing piece or how many toy kits are represented.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

the bottom just says colors

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

and yes it would be 6% is the closest to 2/35

OpenStudy (dan815):

so which question do u need help with

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

im justasking if 6 is correct

Directrix (directrix):

@dan815 The question at the very top of this thread. Thanks.

Directrix (directrix):

6% is my best idea. 2/35 to the nearest integral percentage. @Daniellelovee @dan815 cannot get OS to load. We need to start one of those FundMe online petitions to get OS overhauled from the bottom up.

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

alright thank you :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

My interpretations is ... What is the probability that the missing piece is a red piece with 4 holes? P(Red n 4holes) |dw:1445258116323:dw|
