The probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be 0.25.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

a. Based on the information given, the probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be:

= 10/(10 + 7 + 3) × 10/(10 + 7 + 3)

= 10/20 × 10/20

= 1/4

= 0.25

The probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be 0.25.

b. The probability to be able to keep any of the candy will be:

= (10/20 × 10/20) + (7/20 × 7/20) + (3/20 × 3/20)

= 100/400 + 49/400 + 9/400

= 158/400

= 0.395

The probability to be able to keep any of the candy will be 0.395.

c. The probability that you will not be able to keep any of the candy will be:

= (10/20 × 10/20) + (7/20 × 13/20) + (3/20 × 17/20)

= 100/400 + 91/400 + 51/400

= 242/400

= 0.605

The probability that you will not be able to keep any of the candy will be 0.605.

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Do you mean:

(1+(2/3))j = 15

((3/3)+(2/3))j = 15

((3+2)/3)j = 15

(5/3)j = 15

j = 15 / (5/3)

j = 15 * (3/5)

j = 9

3.49 / 32 = 0.109 ( price for 1 oz of white rice)

 the price per oz of brown rice is cheaper then 1 oz of white rice so the brown rice is the better deal
