Answer:

The probability of the student incorrectly solves the next problem is 44%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the event of solving a problem correctly.

Then E' is the event that the problem is solved incorrectly.

Now, recall the definition of probability.

probability of an event = \frac{number of favorable events}{total number of events}

So,

p(E) = \frac{40}{72}

Also,

p(E) + p(E') = 1 and

p(E') = 1 - p(E)

= 1 - \frac{40}{72}

= \frac{72-40}{72}

= \frac{32}{72}

= \frac{4}{9}

= \frac{4}{9} (100)

= 44% rounded.

Hence, the probability of the student incorrectly solves the next problem is 44%.

An office uses 478 pounds of paper in one week. The paper comes in packages that hold 18 pounds of paper each. How many packages
ddd [48]
To solve this, you would divide 478 by 18, which equals 26.5555556. Since you can't have half a package of paper, the answer would be 26. Hope this helps!

If the hypotenus is 41 inches, and one of the legs is 40 inches what is the length of the other Leg
andre [41]
You find the answer through the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 a & b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
a = 40
b = ?
c = 41

40^2 + b^2 = 41^2
1600 + b^2 = 1681
b^2 = 1681 - 1600
b^2 = 81
b = 9

the length of the other leg is 9

i hope you found this helpful!

The circumference (C) of a circle is 16cm. Which formula can you use to find the diameter (d) if you know that C= πd?
Dima020 [189]

The formula is d=C/π.

The diameter is 2 times the radius

The formula for the circumference using the radius is 2πr.

in order to do this backwards, we would have to do 16÷2÷π, but we're not looking for the radius.

Therefore, we take out the ÷2 part, which would be 16÷π

16 is the circumference

16÷π=d

d=C÷π
