The probability that a random alcoholic can kick the habit without professional help is 0.273 .

<h3>What is Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the study of likeliness of an event to happen.

It has a range of 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that

The alcoholics that need professional help to stop drinking is 72.7 %

Therefore the probability of this is 72.7 /100 = 0.727

The probability that they will not need professional help is given by

q = 1 - p

q = 1 -0.727

q = 0.273

Therefore the probability that a random alcoholic can kick the habit without professional help is 0.273 .

Colton has a stone paperweight composed of a triangular pyramid on top of a triangular prism with the dimensions shown below. Us
Eva8 [605]

The area of the base would be found using the area of a triangle formula which is 1/2 x base x height.

The base and height are the two sides perpendicular to each other, which are both 5 inches.

The area of the base = 1/2 x 5 x 5 = 12.5 square inches.

The volume of the triangular prism is the area of the base times the height, which is 4 inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 12.5 x 4 = 50 cubic inches.

Volume of the triangular prism is 1/3 x area of base x height, which is 7:

Volume of the triangular prism = 1/3 x 12.5 x 7 = 29.17 cubic inches.

Total volume = 29.17 + 50 = 79.17 cubic inches.

Explain in sentences how you can add or subtract two fractions with common denominators?
Lemur [1.5K]
If two fractions have the same denominators, then just simply add up the numerators together and keep the denominator.

Examples:

\frac{4}{10} +  \frac{5}{10} =  \frac{9}{10}

\frac{10}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{8}{12}
