Answer:
0.167, 0.164, 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
In decimals, the closer it is to 1 the larger it gets. 0.167 is smaller than 0.164 because 0.164 is closer to one, which makes it greater.
Answer:
Mode: 5 and 8
Median: 6.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Mode - the number that appears the most in a set of data. There may be no mode ( when no number out numbers the others) or multiple modes ( multiple numbers appear the same number of times). Both 5 and 8 appear twice in this set.
Median - The middle number. To start, order your numbers from least to greatest.
1, 3, 5, 5, 8, 8, 10, 14
You have an even set of numbers (8 in total), which means there won't be one number left in the middle. In this situation, there are two: 5 and 8. So you just need to add them together and divide by 2
8 + 5 = 13
13/ 2 = 6.5
Looking at the set, we are given 18 elements. 17 is prime; it has only two factors: 1 and 17, since 1•17=17. So, the question is really asking what is the probability the numbers 1 or 17 is chosen. As mentioned earlier, 17 is prime, so there are two possible choices: 1 and 17.
P (probability) = possible outcomes / total outcomes
It is important to note that these events are “or” events, meaning that the probability can only be determined by choosing a 1 or a 17; you can’t randomly chose a 1 and 17 at the same time. So, the formula is:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
All this is saying is that given two possible outcomes, the probability occurs independent of each event; they don’t occur at the same time.
P(1 or 17) = P(1)/18 + P(1)/18
P(1 or 17) = 2/18
Since 17 is prime, it’s two and only factors are 1 and 17. The probability of randomly choosing a 1 or 17 is 2/18, meaning that there are 2 elements in the set out of a possible 18 elements that can be randomly chosen.
2/18 simplifies to 1/9
So, your answer is 1/9
