Question

Data collected over time show that trains in Chicago depart on time 70% of the time. You designed a simulation to generate departure data using the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to represent on-time departures, and the numbers 7, 8, and 9 to represent departures that are not on time. Use the random number table below, starting with the first digit of the third row to generate departure data for 25 trains.

Using this simulation, what percentage, rounded to the nearest whole number, of the 25 trains depart on time?

Answer 1

This is the simulation it is talking about.
The answer choices are:
A)70%
B)76%
C)75%
D)24%

Answer 2

This is the simulation it is talking about.
The answer choices are:
A)70%
B)76%
C)75%
D)24%

Answer 3

This is the simulation chart it is talking about

Answer 10

DirectX is here he's definitely gonna help you out!

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

@Directrix I dont understand these questions AT ALL!!!

Answer 13

I am trying to pull up this question as solved by @jim_thompson5910

First line:

Ok so here's how the table works.

Each number in the table is a separate digit.

The first 9 shown means that the first train is late since it says `7, 8, and 9 to represent departures that are not on time.` the next digit is 2, so the train is on time because `the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to represent on-time departures` and so on

Answer 14

`You have designed a simulation to generate departure data using the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to represent on-time departures, and 7, 8, and 9 to represent departures that are not on time. ` 9 - late 2 - on time 6 - on time 3 - on time 0 - on time ------------ 7 - late 8 - late 2 - on time 4 - on time 0 - on time ------------ keep doing this until you have done 25 trains total

Answer 15

once you've done all that work to get the 25 trains, count how many are on time and then divide that number by 25. Finally multiply that result by 100 to convert to a percentage

Answer 16

@lydiasantos



how do i know when i have gotten to the 25 trains, what adds up to the 25 that is what i dont get

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

when you've used up 25 digits in the table (ie when you get to the end of block #5)

Answer 19

9 - late 2 - on time 6 - on time 3 - on time 0 - on time ------------ 7 - late 8 - late 2 - on time 4 - on time 0 - on time ------------ 1 on time 9 late 2 on time 6 on time 7 late ---------------- 9 late 5 on time 4 on time 5 on time 7 late ------------------ 5 on time 3 on time 4 on time 9 late 7 late

Answer 20

looks good

Answer 21

oh wow I didn't read the whole problem I skipped over the part where it says `starting with the first digit of the third row to generate departure data for 25 trains.`

Answer 22

yes sir

Answer 23

oh boy lol me neither

Answer 24

Focus on the third row ------------ 5 - on time 9 - late 6 - on time 5 - on time 4 - on time ------------- 7 - late 1 - on time 9 - late 6 - on time 6 - on time ------------- 2 - on time 7 - late 3 - on time 8 - late 6 - on time ------------- 5 - on time 0 - on time 0 - on time 0 - on time 4 - on time ------------- 0 - on time 5 - on time 3 - on time 5 - on time 8 - late -------------

Answer 25

thanks! 19 are on time divided by 25 = .76 = 76% ??

Answer 26

you nailed it

Answer 27

Thanks @Directrix

Answer 28

cool thanks you helped me!

Answer 29

you're welcome

Answer 30

No problem
