Answer:

About 41.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given:</em>

<em>A bowl has 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes. Henry randomly chooses a grape, eats it, and then chooses another grape. </em>

<em>To Find:</em>

<em>What is the probability that both grapes are red?</em>

<em>Answer choices:</em>

<em>about 39.7% </em>

<em>about 41.5%</em>

<em> about 42.5% </em>

<em>about 44.5%</em>

<em>Solution:</em>

<em>Since, there are 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes, the total number of grapes is 23 . </em>

<em>As the red grapes are 15.. </em>

<em>Thus, </em>

<em>The probability of choosing a red grape the first time is 15/23.</em>

<em>Because out of the total 23 grapes only 15 were red grape.</em>

<em> The probability of choosing the red grape the second time will be 14/22. Because the number of red grapes has already decreased by one and so is the total number of grapes after first choice</em>

<em>Hence, the probability of choosing or eating two red grapes will be :</em>

<em>15/23×14/22 </em>

<em>=105/253 </em>

<em>=0.415</em>

<em>= 41.5% </em>

<em>Therefore, the probability that both grapes are red is about 41.5%</em>

You and three friends are going to the fair. The cost for
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

$17 on food per person

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of parking a car is $5

Assuming that the friends used one car, then the parking cost=$5

Admission cost is 19

For three people, Admission cost =19*3=57

TOTAl COSTS=Parking cost+Admission cost

TOTAl COSTS=57+5=62

Remaining amount can be used for food

FOOD= 113-62=51

Therefore each person can spend 51/3=$17 on food

I hope this was helpful and clear to follow

a twelve sided die with side labeled 1-12 will be rolled once. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 9?
puteri [66]
12 possible outcomes
any number less than 9 is 8 and below
8 sides of the dice are less than 9 out of 12 total sides
8/12 is the chance you’ll roll lower than 9

2/3 or 66% chance you’ll roll a number lower than 9

You recently took a statistics exam in a large class. The instructor tells the class that the scores were Normally distributed,
Lunna [17]

Answer:

b. the area to the right of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X, which is also the area to the left of Z. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X, which is the area to the right of Z.

In this problem:

X = 96, \mu = 72, \sigma = 12

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{96 - 72}{12}

Z = 2

Percentage who did better:

P(Z > 2), which is the area to the right of 2.
