Be right there! Let's do this!
15+12+6= total number of marbles
33= total
Not clear marbles = 15+12 or 27
27 /33
.818181
82 percent
Solution: We are given the population mean
Now, in order to find which shift's mean is closest to population mean, we will find the mean of each shift.
The mean of shift 1 is:
The mean of shift 2 is:
The mean of shift 3 is:
The mean of shift 4 is:
We clearly see the mean of shift 2 is close to the population mean. Hence the option B) Shift 2 is correct.
Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.
