Answer:
The experimental probability can be expressed in three ways:
Fraction Form: 3/6 or 1/2
Decimal Form: 0.5
Percent Form: 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Experimental probability is expressed as:
<em>(Favorable outcomes) / (Total outcomes)</em>
The favorable outcome in this situation is blubbery muffins. There were 3 blueberry muffins sold, so this is the <u>numerator</u> of our fraction.
To find the total outcomes we add 3 + 3, which equals 6. This will be the <u>denominator</u> of our fraction.
The fraction used to express experimental probability will look like this: 3/6
We can further simplify this to 1/2.
3 ÷ 3 = 1
6 ÷ 3 = 2
To find a decimal, we divide 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5
Multiply this by 100 to get a percentage, 0.5 x 100 = 50%
To multiply fracti0ons, we need to convert them to improper fractions:
-2 1/4 = -9/4
-4 1/2 = -9/2
Now, lets multiply:
-9/4 * -9/2 = 81/8
Hope this helps!
Take note that the answer is positive because when multiplying, two negatives make a positive.
We need the total count of persons = 10+12+12+15 = 49 persons
We need the count of the target group, female or teaching assistants
= (10+12) professors + 12 male teaching assistants
= 22+12
= 34 persons
Assuming equal probability of choosing anyone from the 30 persons, the
probability of choosing a professor or a male
= 34/49
(For probability calculations, try to keep a fraction for as long as you can, because fractions are exact. Decimal are frequently approximate, for example in this case, 34/49=0.693877551020...... = 0.694 approximately)
There are 5 x 10 = 50 different outcomes.
Of them only 3x10, 4x10, 4x9, 4x8, 5x10, 5x9, 5x8, 5x7 and 5x6 are greater or equal than 30. Those are 9 possibilities.
Then 50 - 9 = 41 are the possibilities that the product of the two numbers is less than 30.
The probalility, then, is 41/50 = 0.82
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Fixed monthly fee = $20
Amount charged per minute for long distance calls = $0.20
denotes total cost such that 
minutes are used for long distance calls.
Amount charged for minutes for long distance calls 
Therefore, an equation for the total cost, C, when N minutes are used for long distance calls is
