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.

Another way to write 11/2 is 11 / 2, which is NOT a choice.

11/2=5.5 OR 5 1/2.

A. 11*2=22
B. 11+2=13
C. 11*11=121

As part of Kayla's exercise program, she either runs 6 miles/day or rides her bike 10 miles/day. Her new goal is to cover a mini
erik [133]
To determine the number of days, we need to set up equations relating the given values above. The total distance that Kayla would want to travel is a sum of the total distance she traveled from running and the total distance she traveled from biking. So,

200 miles = (6 miles/day) x + (10 miles/day) y

where x is the number of days she spent running and y is the number of days she spent biking.

If the minimum days she used for biking would be 15 days or y = 15, then

200 miles = (6 miles/day) x + (10 miles/day) (15 days)

Solving for x,
200 = 6x + 150
50 = 6x
x = 8.3333 days

Total number of days = 15 days for biking + 8.3333 days for running = 23.3333 days or about 24 days.
