4. A drawer contains 21 black socks and 9 white socks. A number generator simulates randomly selecting 10 socks from the drawer. The number generator is used 10 times and the number of black socks in each trial is shown in the plot. Does this number generator appear to be fair?

WHY OR WHY NOT?

I know the answer is yes it appears to be fair, but please answer WHY. Thank you :)

There are 21 black socks and 9 white socks. Theoretically, the probability of picking a black sock is 21/(21+9) = 21/30 = 0.70 = 70%

Assuming we select any given sock, and then put it back (or replace it with an identical copy), then we should expect about 0.70*10 = 7 black socks out of the 10 we pick from the drawer. If no replacement is made, then the expected sock count will likely be different.

The dot plot shows the data set is

{5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8}

The middle-most value is between the first two '7's, so the median is (7+7)/2 = 14/2 = 7. This can be thought of as the average expected number of black socks to get based on this simulation. So that's why I consider it a fair number generator because it matches fairly closely with the theoretical expected number of black socks we should get. Again, this is all based on us replacing each sock after a selection is made.

the most boring thing ever written

step-by-step explanation:

i am writing something. yes, i plan to make it the most boring thing ever written. i go to the store. a car is parked. many cars are parked or moving. some are blue. some are tan. they have windows. in the store, there are items for sale. these include such things as soap, detergent, magazines, and lettuce. you can enhance your life with these products. soap can be used for bathing, be it in a bathtub or in a shower. apply the soap to your body and rinse. detergent is used to wash clothes. place your dirty clothes into a washing machine and add some detergent as directed on the box. select the appropriate settings on your washing machine and you should be ready to begin. magazines are stapled reading material made with glossy paper, and they cover a wide variety of topics, ranging from news and politics to business and stock market information. some magazines are concerned with more recreational topics, like sports card collecting or different kinds of hairstyles. lettuce is a vegetable.
