0/5 is the probability of GETTING a 2 in Bag B.
1 is the probability of not getting a 2

man ure a robot i guess

ohh I see.. then it helps me alot lol.. tomorrow is exam S1 btw n.n

 

[mukki]

can i ask a really dumb question?
u keep referring to 'fi' what does it mean?
is it the probability?

no dude fi is

that wierd symbol. ϕ is the fi. the function through which u have to go to the table

n.n? Yes. and day after tomorrow chem p4 as well!

and this? sory if I keep asking haha..
well just want to know how to do the 5(i)..

Nah. Im freaked out. p4 and p6. This is one pressure week

I love these questions. They are the easiest, that's why.

Within 12 g implies the least is 20-12 = 8 and highest = 20+12 =32
so P(8<X<32)
P( 8-20 / σ <Z< 32-20 / σ)
P(-12/σ <Z < 12/σ)
Seems familiar?

Ahh... thankss..
will get back to u with more problems..
are u a teacher or a student?

Well that's a surprising question. Student, though.

Hye guys,i have a question,I have came across some histograms and i have no idea which one is a correct one. Why some histograms their class boundary are in decimals(0.5) while some are in round numbers? I mean when you draw it,some draw from the 0.5 while some draw on round numbers?

 

[GoodRobot]

you're looking for a number 'n', where 5000 < n < 6000 [or more precisely, the smallest and the largest number you can possibly achieve is 5123 and 5643 respectively] .. can't ever start with 6, can it?

thanks

Well. It depends on the intervals in the group data. If an Upper Boundary of the Interval is the same value as the Lower Boundary of the next interval, then there's no need to add/subtract .5 to the corresponding boundaries. I.e,
0-100, 100-200

But if it is 1-99, 100-149. Then subtract .5 from Lower boundary and add .5 to the upper.
.5-99.5, 99.5-149.5.
There Simply cannot be empty space WITHIN a histogram unless an interval has frequency of 0

im not able to solve Q2...help !
http://www.xtremepapers.com/papers/...S Level/Mathematics (9709)/9709_w11_qp_61.pdf
and also i hv seen similar questions in many years recently,can some one tell me how to go about it ?

P( 8-20 / σ <Z< 32-20 / σ)
P(-12/σ <Z < 12/σ)
Seems familiar?

then its probability is 0.94?

its like where you have continuous boundaries like 0<t<20,20<t<40 and so on then u dont have subtract .5 but if the boundaries are like 10<t<30 , 31<t<40 then ul have to subtract .5 and make it like 9.5<t<30.5 ,30.5<t<40.5 and so on

yes.

Mean= Σ(x − a)/n +a
where a is a constant

Variance Σ(x − 25)^2 / n - [mean]^2

Hahah... just figured u know so much there's a good chance u might be a teacher..

alright here you go
i)When ever you have to find the original mean=E(x-a)/n +a
so here the mean is given as 28.325. Find the value of n from the equation by substituting the value of E(x-a). 28.325-a=E(x-a)/n where a=25 n=40
For the s.d you should remember that s.d isnt affected by constant shifts in the data such as -a.
assume that x-a =y so E(x-a)=E and hence E(x-a)^2=E^2
s.d=underoot(E^2/n-(E/n)^2)
s.d=9.11
ii)check your data booklet one of the formula for s.d is underoot(E(x)^2/n - (E(x)/n)^2). Since you know that the s.d is 9.11 and that the original mean is 28.325 substitute the given values and find the value of (E(x)/n )^2.
