34.

The mean of 2 - t, 4 + t, 3 - 2t, 2 + t and t - 1 is

A. t

B. -t

C. 2

D. -2

Detailed Solution

Mean x = \(\frac{\sum x}{n}\)

= [(2 - t) + (4 + t) + (3 - 2t) + (2 + t) + (t - 1)] \(\div\) 5

= [11 - 1 + 3t - 3t] \(\div\) 5

= 10 \(\div\) 5

= 2

A number is chosen at random from 10 to 30 both inclusive. What is the probability that the number is divisible by 3?

A. \(\frac{2}{15}\)

B. \(\frac{1}{10}\)

C. \(\frac{1}{3}\)

D. \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Detailed Solution

Sample space S = {10, 11, 12, ... 30}

Let E denote the event of choosing a number divisible by 3

Then E = {12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30} and n(E) = 7

Prob (E) = \(\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}\)

Prob (E) = \(\frac{7}{21}\)

Prob (E) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
