You add up all the numbers then you would put 3/6or1/2 so there is a 50% chance a grapefruit will be chosen
Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of picking a grapefruit is the amount of grapefruits over the amount of total fruit. There are 3 grapefruits, and 6 total pieces of fruit. 3/6 is equal to 1/2, so the probability is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.

Diameter=10.5 in . Determine the area of each circle. Use 3.14 or 22/7 for pie . Round to the nearest tenth.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

86.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of circle: pi*r^2

  • first find the radius

10.5in /2= 5.25in

  • find the square

5.25^2=27.5625

  • multiply with pi

27.5625*3.14=86.54625

rounded 86.5 in

Answers should be exact decimals (please do not leave as fractions or unfinished calculations).
aksik [14]

Answer:

P(rolling the die results in a 3 or a 6)=0.3333

P(rolling the die results in not getting a 6)=0.8333

P(rolling the die results in the number being either greater than 2 or less than 5)=0.3333

P(rolling the die results in an even number or a 5)=0.6667

P( rolling the die twice results in a 6 followed by a 4)=0.0278

P(rolling the die three times results in all 6's)=0.0046

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

As the all outcomes are equally likely, so each number has equal probability of occurring.

For six sided die the sample space is {1,2,3,4,5,6} and each outcome has equal probability of 1/6.

1)

P(rolling the die results in a 3 or a 6)

P(rolling the die results in a 3 or a 6)=P(3)+P(6)=1/6+1/6=2/6=1/3

P(rolling the die results in a 3 or a 6)=0.3333

P(rolling the die results in not getting a 6)

P(rolling the die results in not getting a 6)=1-P(6)=1-1/6=5/6

P(rolling the die results in not getting a 6)=0.8333

P(rolling the die results in the number being either greater than 2 or less than 5)

number either greater than 2 or less than 5={3,4}

P(rolling the die results in the number being either greater than 2 or less than 5)=2/6=1/3

P(rolling the die results in the number being either greater than 2 or less than 5)=0.3333

P(rolling the die results in an even number or a 5)

number is an even number or a 5={2,4,5,6}

P(rolling the die results in an even number or a 5)=4/6=2/3

P(rolling the die results in an even number or a 5)=0.6667

P( rolling the die twice results in a 6 followed by a 4)

For six sided die rolled twice the sample space is

S={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6),(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4),(4,5),(4,6),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5),(5,6),(6,1),(6,2),(6,3),(6,4),(6,5),(6,6)}.

n(S)=6²=36.

rolling the die twice results in a 6 followed by a 4={(6,4)}

P( rolling the die twice results in a 6 followed by a 4)=1/36.

P( rolling the die twice results in a 6 followed by a 4)=0.0278

P(rolling the die three times results in all 6's)

When three die are rolled the number of outcomes=n(S)=6³=216.

rolling the die three times results in all 6's={(6,6,6)}

P(rolling the die three times results in all 6's)=1/216

P(rolling the die three times results in all 6's)=0.0046

Note: All answers are rounded to four decimal places.

Simplify this expression using the distributive property
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

When you use the distributive property, you multiply the two numbers together, just like simplifying any product. You will also see another example where the expression in parentheses is subtraction, rather than addition. You will need to be careful to change the sign of your product.
