The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

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

We know that the odds against the particular candidate are 9 to 5.

The the odds for the candidate are 5 to 9, this means that in 5 cases the candidate will win, and in 9 cases the candidate will lose.

Then the candidate wins in 5 out of 14 cases, then the probability that the particular candidate wins the elections is given by the quotient:

P = 5/14 = 0.357

The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

An urn contains six red balls and four green balls. A sample of seven balls is selected at random.

KIM [24]

There are 10 balls in the Urn Total.

Red: 6

Green: 4

Question One: The probability that five red and two green is selected is likely. (as that is over half for both)

Question Two: Impossible. There is only 6 red balls, and 7 are taken from the urn. Thus it would at most be possible for 6 red and 1 green.

Question Three: At least four is likely, as there is more red then green in the Urn.

Hope I helped!

2/3 (x - 7 ) = -2<br> AL y = 5/3 B: 8 1/3 C: 10 D: 4

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

D: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solve the equation

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{2}{3}(x - 7) & = & -2\\\\2(x - 7) & = & -6\\x - 7 & = & -3\\x & = & \mathbf{4}\\\end{array}$

2. Check

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{2}{3}(4 - 7) & = & -2\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}(-3) & = & -2\\\\-2 & = & -2\\\end{array}$
