Cecil solved a theoretical prediction problem and got this "The spinner will land on the red
section 5.5 times." Is it possible to have a prediction that is not a whole number? If so, give an example.
Step-by-
(select) but only (select)
because in reality, nothing can occur 0.5 times.

The fractional probability that a flipped coin lands heads up is
So, in theory, in 35 flips, you
can expect heads about
(as a fraction or
(as a decimal) times. A realistic prediction
is
times.

Each of the following data sets has a mean of x = 10. (i) 8 9 10 11 12 (ii) 7 9 10 11 13 (iii) 7 8 10 12 13 (a) without doing any computations, order the data sets according to increasing value of standard deviations. (i), (iii), (ii) (ii), (i), (iii) (iii), (i), (ii) (iii), (ii), (i) (i), (ii), (iii) (ii), (iii), (i) (b) why do you expect the difference in standard deviations between data sets (i) and (ii) to be greater than the difference in standard deviations between data sets (ii) and (iii)? hint: consider how much the data in the respective sets differ from the mean. the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). the data change between data sets (ii) and (iii) increased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (i) and (ii). the data change between data sets (i) and (ii) decreased the squared difference îł(x - x)2 by more than data sets (ii) and (iii). none of the above
