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.

A group of 266 persons consist of men , women and children and there are four times as many men as children and twice as many wo
klasskru [66]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of children, then

number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c

Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266

4c + 2c + c = 266, that is

7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )

c = 38

Thus

4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76

The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
