Answer:
C. ![\frac{27}{225}=\frac{b}{100}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B27%7D%7B225%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7Bb%7D%7B100%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of black ribbons one would have subtract the amount of red ribbons from the total number of ribbons. Then one would have to express it as a proportion. Part over whole equals percent over 100. The number of black ribbons over total ribbons equals "b" over 100.
Need to see a picture in order to solve it
If nCk represents the number of ways k parts can be chosen from a pool of n, the probability of interest is the complement of the probability of selecting all good parts.
1 - (167C3)/(170C3) = 42,085/804,440 ≈ 0.0523
_____
nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
When you write a function in the form
, y is the dependent variable, and x is the independent variable.
So, if b is the independent variable, it means that we have to solve the expression for r.
To do so, we perform the following steps: start with
![16b = 4r - 12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2016b%20%3D%204r%20-%2012%20)
Add 12 to both sides
![16b+12 = 4r](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2016b%2B12%20%3D%204r%20)
Divide both sides by 4:
![4b+3 = r](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%204b%2B3%20%3D%20r%20)
So, we wrote the expression in the form
, which means that r is the dependent variable and b is the independent variable, as requested.
