STATS HELP
Sampling:
each of the 720 students has a four figure admission number. The girls have consecutive odd admin numbers starting at 2001 and the boys have consecutive even admin numbers starting from 2002 .
The school Head used a calculator to generate some random numbers to select students. The numbers were: 0.143 ,0.673 ,0.772, 0.081, 0.219 & 0.5
One of the six numbers that the school head obtained can't be used to select from the population.
a) state which one of the six numbers cannot be used, and explain why it cannot be used.
b) write down the admission numbers of the five selected students

STATS HELP :
Probability :

A box contains black and white cou ters. The probability of of randomly selecting a black counter is 1/6.
1.Find a) the probability of randomly selecting a white counter,
b) the smallest possible number of white counters in the box.
Emily took 2 counters out of the box and both of them were black.
2. What is the smallest possible number of white counters that could be in the box?

Emily asked each of the teachers at her school to randomly select one of the counters from the box.
3. If 25 teachers selected a white counter, estimate the number if teachers at Emily's school




Plz....do help...I need an answer urgently
Thanks in advance

The bars do not imply determinant but magnitude.

|d| = √( 82 + (-6)2 ) = √100 = 10 units
Thankyou so much! :) Please help me with question 8 from the same past paper, for some reason im getting 8 as k, which is giving me the wrong answer.

y is proportional to x^2

y= kx2
2 = k (4)^2
k = 2/16 = 1/8

y = (1/8) x^2
y = (1/8) ((10)^2)
= 12.5

Well i made that mentally, tell me if the answer is right...

Yes it is, I kept on dividing 16/2 thats why i got 8, and in paper 1 since we dont have a calculator, how would i solve this part y=1/8 x 100 ?
