The odds of winning a contest are 3:7. What is the probability winning the contest?

Mathematics

DiKsa [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The odds of winning a contest are 3:7

To find: probability of winning the contest

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurrence of an event.

Odds are defined as (chances for success) : (chances against success)

Probability of winning = (chances for success) : (chances for success + chances against success)  

As odds of winning a contest are 3:7,

(chances for success) : (chances against success) = 3:7

So,

Probability of winning the contest = \frac{3}{3+7} =\frac{3}{10}=0.3

Identify all the sets to which the number belongs. Choose from Rational Number, Irrational number, whole number, and integer. 1.
Allushta [10]

Answer:

The number 1.256 is  A)rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A whole number is a non-negative number without any digits behind the decimal.
  • An integer is a set of negative and non negative numbers that don't have any digits behind the decimal.
  • A number that can be shown as a fraction of two whole numbers is a rational number.And the numbers that are not rational are irrational numbers.
  • Here, 1.256 is a fraction of whole numbers 1256 and 1000 , so it is a rational no.

                     \frac{1256}{1000} =1.256

  • But since it has digits behind the decimal it is neither a whole number, or an integer.

Find the volume of the composite figure. Explain your thought, explain how your arrived at your answer. SHOW YOUR WORK FOR FULL
kobusy [5.1K]
We assume the composite figure is a cone of radius 10 inches and slant height 15 inches set atop a hemisphere of radius 10 inches.

The formula for the volume of a cone makes use of the height of the apex above the base, so we need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find that.
   h = √((15 in)² - (10 in)²) = √115 in

The volume of the conical part of the figure is then
   V = (1/3)Bh = (1/3)(π×(10 in)²×(√115 in) = (100π√115)/3 in³ ≈ 1122.994 in³


The volume of the hemispherical part of the figure is given by
   V = (2/3)π×r³ = (2/3)π×(10 in)³ = 2000π/3 in³ ≈ 2094.395 in³

Then the total volume of the figure is
   V = (volume of conical part) + (volume of hemispherical part)
   V = (100π√115)/3 in³ + 2000π/3 in³
   V = (100π/3)(20 + √115) in³
   V ≈ 3217.39 in³

The fastest recorded speed for an eastern gray kangaroo is 40 mph. What was the
Ludmilka [50]

The kangaroo's speed in feet per second is 58.67 feet per second

<h3>What was the kangaroo's speed in feet per second?</h3>

The speed is given as:

Speed = 40 mph

Rewrite properly as

Speed = 40 miles per hour

1 mile = 5280 feet

So, we have

Speed = 40 * 5280 feet per hour

Evaluate

Speed = 211200 feet per hour

1 hour = 3600 seconds

So, we have:

Speed = 211200 feet per 3600 seconds

Evaluate the quotient

Speed = 58.67 feet per seconds

Hence, the kangaroo's speed in feet per second is 58.67 feet per seconds
