5 0

Answer:

0.5021 or about 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

chance of getting heads is 1 out of 2 =1/2

chance of getting 1or 6 is 2 out of 6 = 2/6

1/2 * 2/6= 2/12 reduced to   1/6

each turn you have a 1 0ut of 6 chance of winning

16% chance of winning so an 84% chance of losing

chance of losing  4 times is .84 ^4  =0.4979

chance of winning  is 1-(.84^4)= 0.5021

First, add the ratio together to get the denominator of the fraction you will use to determine the share. 3+5= 8. Now, you have two fractions: 3/8 and 5/8. Next, just find 3/8 and 5/8 of 56 to get your answers:

A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr
alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7
