Total sweets = 23 × (24 + 12) = 828
A(4, -1), (7, -3), M(10, -5), (13, -7), (16, -9), B(19,
Total sweets in packets = 30 × 24 = 720 -11).
Total sweets in boxes = 828 - 720 = 108 B is the point (19, -11).
Mean sweets per box = 108 ÷ 12 = 9 Question 13 (2 marks)
Question 3 (3 marks) 10% is given by 120 ÷ 3 = 40.
The ratio of black pens to white pens is 3:1. P(Rolling a 2) = 1 - 0.89 = 0.11.
The ratio of white pens to brown pens is 5:1. P(Rolling a 2 or 4) = 0.11 + 0.18 = 0.29.
So the ratio of black pens to white pens to brown pens 250 × 0.29 = 72.5.
is 15:5:1.
Robinder can expect to roll a 2 or a 4 an estimated 73
