<h2>Answer:</h2>

The probability that the number chosen is prime is:

$\dfrac{1}{4}$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The probability of an event is defined as the ratio of number of favorable outcome to the total number of outcomes.

Here the total number of outcomes are: 100

( Since we have to take first 100 positive integers i.e. 1-100)

Also, the number of favorable outcomes i.e. the number of prime numbers between 1-100 is: 25

( Since, the prime numbers are:

2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, and 97 )

Hence, the probability that the number chosen is prime is:

$Probability=\dfrac{25}{100}\\\\\\Probability=\dfrac{1}{4}$

STALIN [3.7K]

To get a sum of 3, you must roll a 1 and a 2. To get a sum of 8, you must roll a 5 and 3, or two 4's.
There are two ways of rolling a 1 and a 2, two ways of rolling a 5 and a 3, and one way to roll two 4's.
There are $5^2=25$ possible outcomes when rolling two such solids.

So the probability of getting a sum of 3 or 8 is $\dfrac{2+2+1}{25}=\dfrac15$

Answer:

The answer is 3 , 1 , 2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

I will give an example.

e.g.

x² + 3x + 2

Step 3 :

Set the equation equal to zero :

x² + 3x + 2 = 0

Step 1 :

Completely factor the equation :

x² + x + 2x + 2 = 0

x(x+1) + 2(x+1) = 0

(x+2)(x+1) = 0

Step 2 :

Set each factor equal zero and then solve for the variable :

(x+2)(x+1) = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: 1. When you estimate, it is not an exact measurement. 3ft 8 in gets rounded to 4ft and 12 ft 3 in rounds to 12ft. now find the perimeter. P=2l+2w P= 2*12 +2*4 P=32feet

2. 3ft 8in = 3 8/12 or reduced to 3 2/3 12ft 3in = 12 3/12 or reduced to 12 1/4 The fractional part is referring to a fraction of a foot.

3. The perimeter of the room is P=2l+2w or P=2(12 1/4) + 2(3 2/3) p=24 1/2 + 7 1/3 P= 31 5/6 feet

4. The estimate and the actual are very close. They are 1/6 of a foot apart.

5a. Total baseboard 31 5/6ft - 2 1/4 ft = 29 7/12 feet needed.

5b. Take the total and divide it by 8ft = 29 7/12 divided by 8= 3.7 You are not buying a fraction of a board so you would need 4 boards.
