1. The probability that we select a red marble is 1/3.
We found this out by taking the amount of red marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. The total amount of marbles is 18 and there are red marbles. So, it would become 6 out of 18 or 6/18. Then, we simplify 6/18 to the simplest form. The greatest common factor of both of those numbers is 6. Lastly, we divide each of them by 6 to get the simplest form.
6/18 = (6/6)/(18/6)
(6/6)/(18/6) = 1/3
So, therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a red marble is 1/3.
2. The probability that we select a blue marble is 2/3.
We can find this out by taking the amount of blue marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. We know that the total amount of marble is 18 and there are 12 blue marbles. So, we simply get the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide them by it.
Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18 = 6
12/18 = (12/6)/(18/6)
(12/6)/(18/6) = 2/3
Thus, the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble is 2/3.
Quantitative data refers to any information that can be quantified, counted or measured, and given a numerical value. Qualitative data is descriptive in nature, expressed in terms of language rather than numerical values.
Using the table, we will see that the function is:
t(l) = 3*l
<h3>
How to write the function?</h3>
Here we only have a table to work with, so we need to use that.
In the table, we can see the pairs:
- t(1) = 3
- t(2) = 6
- t(3) = 9
- t(4) = 12
So, in each new level, we just add 3 more toothpicks. Even more, we can see that the number of toothpicks is 3 times the value of l (the level) for all the cases in the table. So this is a linear function.
From that we can conclude that the function will be:
t(l) = 3*l
