Re: Review

Excellent, all correct.

Now look at the histogram (bar chart).

Does it show these answers?

Re: Review

They don't agree, so that much is right.  But in post # 26, what were you working out, theoretical or experimental ?

Re: Review

You looked at the picture of the spinner, counted how many 1/16 there were for each colour and worked out probabilities from that alone.

You just used the spinner.  Is that theory or experiment ?

Re: Review

Yes, you calculated the theoretical probabilities.

Then you compared those with the histogram and the two weren't the same.

So the histogram must be ........... what?

OK, good scheme.

I'll look at those two and then it'll be time for bed for me. 

I'll be back on-line tomorrow in about 9 hours, but post the two answers now.

yay smile heres the second

#7-
find the domain of

x^2-9x+18=0

(x-6)(x-3)=0

(x-6)=0
x=6

(x-3)=0
x=3


domain = all real numbers except (6,3)

x≠6,3

First way is correct!
