Answer 1

I think the answer is 0.6

Answer 2

I don't think so.

Answer 3

0.2

Answer 4

Note that your relative frequencies must add up to 1.
Agree?

Answer 5

P(R and R) = 0.3^2
P(Y and Y) = 0.1^2
P(G and G) = 0.1^2
P(O and O) = 0.1^2
P(B and B) = 0.1^2

Answer 6

??

Answer 7

sum up the numbers and divide it by 6
leave your answer in tenth

Answer 8

Your relative frequencies add up to 1.
(If you want to know why, ask me....)

So,

\(\color{#000000}{ \displaystyle 0.3+0.3+x+0.1+0.1 +0.1=1 }\)
\(\color{#000000}{ \displaystyle 0.9+x=1 }\)
\(\color{#000000}{ \displaystyle x=0.1 }\)

So the relative frequency of getting green is 0.1.

Answer 9

What is the probability that you get either blue green or red?
(Note that any of them is a desired outcome, so you are fine
with (0.3+0.1+0.1) out of 1 (or, out of all possible outcomes).

So,
\(\color{#000000}{ \displaystyle P({\rm Blue,~Green,~or~Red}) =0.5/1=0.5 }\)

Answer 10

wow, you just proved its 0.5

Answer 11

yes, but you said 0.6

Answer 12

yea, but i was wrong

Answer 13

with 0.6 or 0.5 ?

Answer 14

i said it was 0.6 and thats wrong ,,,, the correct answer is 0.5

Answer 15

yeah, we all make mistakes. It's fine.... now you know, tho'.
Good luck with stats:)

Answer 16

yes, and thank you
