Let's pose this question a different way: what are the chances that one out of all possible events is going to happen? What are the chances that, if I roll a die, I will roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 6? What is the probability, if I flip a coin, that the outcome will either be heads or tails? When we take every possible outcome and add their probabilities together, the sum of the probabilities will be 100%, or 1.
Example:
Coin Toss:
Prob of Heads (.5) plus Prob of Tails (.5) = 1
Dice roll:
1/6 (odds of rolling any given number) times 6 (number of possibilities) = 1
Answer:
192
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many phones are expected to be defective, we need to represent the values in a fraction.
x = number of defective phones
Now we can solve this using algebra.
To get the value of x we need to multiply both sides by 8000 to leave x alone.
So around 192 cell phones are expected to be defective out of 8000 phones.
Find the discount price and subtract from the total to find the sale price.
To find the discount price, multiply 90 b 40% (convert 40% into decimal)
90 x 0.4 = 36
Next, subtract the discount from the total to find the sale price.
90 - 36 = 54
So, the sale price is <u>$54</u>.
The original price for one lunch special is $19.
<em><u>Explanation</u></em>
The original price for one lunch special is 'p' dollar.
He wins a coupon for $4 off for each of five days. That means , <u>he needs to pay 
dollar each day</u>.
So, the total amount needed to pay for 5 days 
dollar
Given that, <u>he pays $75 for his 5 lunch specials</u>. So the equation will be.....
So, the original price for one lunch special is $19.
Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 37 yards, and the width of the rectangle is 17 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the length of a rectangle is 3 yards more than twice the width, and the area of the rectangle is 54 yards, the following calculation must be performed to find the dimensions of the rectangle, knowing that the area of a rectangle arises from multiplying its base by its height:
2X + 3 + X = 54
3X + 3 = 54
3X = 54 - 3
X = 51/3
X = 17
(17 x 2) + 3 = 37
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 37 yards, and the width of the rectangle is 17 yards.
