How many sweets are in the 10th bag?

The total number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53 and this can be determined by using the formula of the mean.

Given :

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of sweets in the 10th bag:

Step 1 - The formula of the mean can be used in order to determine the total number of sweets in the 10th bag.

Step 2 - The formula of mean is given below:

Step 3 - Now, substitute the values of the known terms from the given table in the above expression.

Step 4 - Simplify the above expression.

So, the total number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53.

The number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the Number of sweets in a bag  be represented by x and frequency be represented by f

The table is as follows

x   F

39 1

40 2

41 5

42 0

43 1

Mean = 42

Required

How many sweets are in the 10th bag?

Represent the number of sweets in the 10th bag by y;

The table becomes

x   F

39 1

40 2

41 5

42 0

43 1

y   1

The mean of observation is calculated using the following formula;

Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where ∑ means summation

fx means f * x; i.e. product of frequency and number of sweets

f represents frequency;

Calculating ∑fx

∑fx = 39 * 1 + 40 * 2 + 41 * 5 + 42 * 0 + 43 * 1 + y * 1

∑fx = 39 + 80+ 205 + 0 + 43 + y

∑fx = 367 + y

Calcuating ∑f

∑f = 1 + 2 + 5 + 0 + 1 + 1

∑f =  10

Recall that

Mean = ∑fx/∑f and Mean = 42;

So, Mean = ∑fx/∑f becomes

Multiply both sides by 10

Subtract 367 from both sides

Hence, the number of sweets in the 10th bag is 53

3/6 chance

step-by-step explanation:

half of the nubers are odd numbers (1,3,5) which in that case if you would be told to simplify it would be 1/2
