Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = wanted outcomes / total outcomes

odds = wanted outcomes / unwanted outcomes

Odds of 3:5 losing means 3 losing outcomes and 5 winning outcomes.

The total outcomes is 8

The probability of losing which is the probability that the event will fail to occur is 3/8.

Solve 12=0.9a '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Serggg [28]

Answer:

13.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because in order to get the a separated from the 0.9, you must divide the 0.9a by 0.9 to cancel the 0.9 out of the equation. That way, you are left with A. but in order to do that, you must divide both sides of the equation.

Ultimately, it ends up being 12 divided by 0.9, which is 13.3

Talja [164]

Answer: Equilibrium price would be $13.33 and equilibrium quantity would be 133.3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Demand function is stated as

$D(p)=200-5p$

Supply function is stated as

$S(p)=10p$

We need to find the equilibrium price and quantity for this device.

For equilibrium, D(p) = S(p).

so, it becomes,

$200-5p=10p\\\\200=10p+5p\\\\200=15p\\\\p=\dfrac{200}{15}\\\\p=\$13.33$

and when we put the value of p in any function:

$Q=10\times 13.33=133.3\ units$

Hence, Equilibrium price would be $13.33 and equilibrium quantity would be 133.3 units.
