Lois is correct. This is because multiplication is repeated addition. It means that when your addends are just the same number but added several times, the sum is just equivalent to the product of that number times the number of times it was added. For example, 4+4+4 = 4×3 = 12.
At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.
adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.
adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.
Answer:
x =41.18114952
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
We know the hypotenuse and adjacent sides
cos theta = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos x = 14.3/19
taking the inverse cos of each side
cos^-1 (cos x) = cos ^-1 ( 14.3/19)
x =41.18114952
3.82 x 10⁷ = 38,200,000 (move the decimal 7 places to the right)
