What is the factored form of 8x^24-27^6

A television game show has 12 doors, of which the contestant must pick 3. Behind 3 of the doors are expensive cars, and behind

almond37 [142]

The probability that the contestant wins at least one car is 3/5.

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

For 1 car, we consider two possible outcomes:

P(1 car) = 2/6 x 4/5 + 4/6 x 2/5

P(1 car) = 8/15

For no car in either door

P(no car) = 4/6 x 3/5

P(no car) = 2/5

The probability that the contestant wins at least one car is the sum of the probability of one car and the probability of two cars:

P(2 cars) = 2/6 x 1/5

= 1/15

P(1 car) + P(2 cars) = 8/15 + 1/15

= 3/5

There are 4 quarters, 5 nickels and 3 dimes in a jar. One coin is randomly drawn,

Answer:

$\displaystyle\frac{5}{36}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is used to find how likely an outcome is to happen. Probability can be expressed as a fraction with the total outcomes as the denominator and the number of successful outcomes (what you want to happen) as the numerator.

Sample Size

The sample size is the number of possible outcomes. In this case, the sample size will be the total number of coins. To find the sample size we need to add together all of the coins.

4 + 5 + 3 = 12

This means that the sample size is 12. For this type of probability, the sample size will serve as the denominator for each probability.

Replacement

In the question, it is stated that coins are replaced. This means that the sample size will not change at any point. So, the denominator will be the same for every probability.

Creating Probability Fractions

We are looking for the probability of getting a quarter and nickel, so we need to find the fractions that represent both situations.

First, let's find the quarter. As stated in the first paragraph, the number of successful outcomes is the numerator. There are 4 quarters, so 4 is the number of successful outcomes. Therefore, 4 will be the numerator. Then, 12 will be the denominator because 12 is the sample size.

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{12}$

Next, we need to find the probability of a nickel. Since there are 5 nickels, there are 5 successful outcomes. Then, the sample size is still 12 because there is replacement.

$\displaystyle\frac{5}{12}$

Complex Probability

Now we have the probability of both a quarter and nickel alone. However, this question asks about the probability of both, so this is an example of complex probability. To find complex probability, you have to multiply each probability together.
