The mean of a soccer team goals is 6 goals after 4 games. If the team scored 5 goals in the first game, 6 goals in the second game and 6 goals in the third game, how many goals did they score at the 4th game?

=====================================================

Work Shown:

We have this set of data

where x is some positive whole number. Add up everything in the second column:

5+6+6+x = x+17

This represents the total number of goals made over the four games.

Divide this over the number of games played (4) and set that equal to the mean of 6. Solve for x.

(x+17)/4 = 6

x+17 = 4*6

x+17 = 24

x = 24-17

x = 7

7 goals were scored in the fourth game.

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
