3 0

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.

Convert 91007500 to scientific notation

sesenic [268]

Scientific notation is a number greater than 0 and less than 10 multiplied by 10 to a power. The expression will be equal to the number given.
91007500
We move the decimal place first so that the number is within our range:
9.1007500
Then we count how many places we moved the decimal. In this case we moved it to the left 7 times, so our exponent of 10 will be 7
Therefore in scientific notation it is 9.1007500 x 10^7
Some teachers prefer to have scientific notation rounded off to the nearest 10th place, so that would be:
9.1 x 10^7

adult tickets to the fall play cost $8 and student tickets cost $4. the drama class sold 20 more adult tickets than student tick

andriy [413]

let us repersent the number of student tickets, then 's + 20' is repersenting the number of adult tickets.

The equation for the total tickets can be experssed as the following:

4.00 * s + 8.00 * ( s + 20 ) = 880.00

solving for 's=60', there were 60 student tickets.

60 + 20 = 80

there were 80 adult tickets.

Hope helps!-Aparri

A population of rabbits in a lab, p(x), can be modeled by the function p(x) = 20(1.014)x , where x represents the number of days

Nitella [24]

Answer:

20 = initial population of the rabbits

1.014 = growth rate of the rabbits

the average rate of change from day 50 to day 100 is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

A population of rabbits in a lab, p(x), can be modeled by the function

p(x) = 20(1.014)^x

This model is exponential. Where 20 = initial population of the rabbits

1.014 = growth rate of the rabbits with 1.4% increase rate of the rabbits

To find the average rate of change from day 50 to day 100,

find the population p(50) and p(100). Subtract them and divide by 100 - 50 = 50.

p(50) = 20(1.014)50 = 40.08...

p(100) = 20(1.014)100 = 80.32...

(80.32 - 40.08) / (100 - 50) = 40.24/50 = 0.8048. which is approximately 0.8 to the nearest tenth.

The rate of change is 0.8.
