This is how you do it.

(c)You have to find the number of people that are right handed.

\frac{80}{100}*30+\frac{75}{100}*68+\frac{70}{100}*50=110

So, there are a total of 110 right handers, and a total of 148 students.

So, \frac{110}{148}=0.743

(d) This is basically asking, out of 110 right handers, what is the probability that it will be a science student?

So, the number of science students that are right handed, are \frac{80}{100}*30=24

Now, \frac{24}{110}=0.218

Sometimes, you need to understand the whole concept, and understand the feel of the question before attempting it.

Find
E( x^2 + 4X - 3)
E(x) = 2.6
and the answer = 15.6
how did they get it ?????

You must know the variance to answer this question. What is it?

Var 1.44
V(X0=E(X^2)-(E(X))^2
1.44=E(X^2)-2.6^2
E(X^2)=1.44+6.76=8.18
E( x^2 + 4X - 3)=E(X^2)-4E(X)-3=8.18-4*2.6-3=8.18-1.4=-5.22

June 2001
Question 1 a)
they said to find the mean and the standard deviation for the data given
in the markscheme they gave something different to what i solved
the mean i knew how to do but the standard deviation was the weird part

My solution : Standard Deviation = Square root of [(sum of x^2 divided by n)-(mean)^2]
my answer gives me Math Error

and in the markscheme the answer comes out 4 :/
plz someone help asap
thank you
