Quinn rolled a regular number cube 42 times. How many times would you predict he rolled a 6? Explain your reasoning.

<p>We would predict that Quinn rolled a 6 approximately 7 times. Each side of the standard six-sided number cube has an equal chance of landing face up. This is a 1/6 probability. So (1/6) x 42 = 7.</p> Signup and view all the answers

There are two school activities Friday night. One is a basketball game and the other is a talent show. Isla wants to know which activity more people will attend. She decides to ask her 20 closest friends. She decides most people will be going to the talent show based on their responses. Is her prediction accurate based on the sample surveyed? Explain your reaoning.

<p>No, her prediction is likely inaccurate. Isla's sample is biased - it only includes her closest friends, not a representative selection of the whole school student population. To get a more accurate representation, she should survey a larger and more diverse group of students.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Two different random samples were used to determine students' favorite park in town. The results are below. Make at least two inferences.

<p>Sample 1 shows that Tree Park was the favorite park. Sample 2 shows that Lake Park was the favorite park. The two samples generated different results, which suggests that one or both of the samples may not be representative of the overall population. Based on the combined data, Lake Park is the most popular, but the sample sizes of both samples are different. A larger sample size can have more statistical significance and the ability to generalize with more confidence. The results suggest that more data is needed to determine student preferences.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Part I - Selected Response

  • Question 1: The experimental probability of Corie hitting a home run is 5/20, which simplifies to 1/4.

  • Question 4: There are 7 possible outcomes where at least one coin toss is tails.

  • Question 5: Probability outcomes are P(even then odd) = 1/4, P(6 then 2) = 1/36.

  • Question 6: Six people can finish first and second in 12 different ways.

  • Question 7: If 50 students preferred tulips, you would predict 200 students (as a multiple of 4 of the first sample), based on the pie chart.

  • Question 8: A survey of randomly selected students from the seventh grade would likely produce the most accurate prediction of the election winner.

  • Question 9: The weakest inference is that students prefer rock music the most, since the data doesn't clearly support that, the other data points are more conclusive.

  • Question 10: Data set 2 has a greater mean absolute deviation.

  • Question 11: Kelli's median scores differ by 2 points.

Part II - Constructed Response

  • Question 1: The probability of selecting a card numbered five is 1/20.

  • Question 2: The probability of selecting an even number is 10/20, or 1/2.

  • Question 3: The probability of selecting a card numbered 25 does not exist since the highest number is 20.

  • Question 4: The probability of selecting a card which is not 1 through 5 is 15/20 or 3/4.

  • Question 5: There are 6 red, 9 blue, and 5 green marbles for a total of 20 marbles. Selecting a blue marble is 9/20. Choosing one color is the probability of that color divided by the total number of marbles.

  • Question 6: To estimate the size of the mustang population, use the proportion 8/8+X=2/15, Solving, the population is estimated to be 60.

  • Question 7: The number of times Quinn rolled a 6 is 42/6 = 7

  • Question 8a: The total number of students is calculated by adding up the number of students in each homers category, in total this is 66 students

  • Question 8b: The probability of hitting between 5 and 10 homers is the sum of students in each category divided by the total students.

Part III - Problem Solving

  • Question 1: The probability the next student will prefer an action movie and popcorn is 80/600 = 4%.
