If the probability of getting an even number on a game spinner is 4/10 , then the numerator of that probability is:

Hello!

Usually when working with probabilities of this type we do not subtract, so our answer is not A.

As the numerator is divided, or out of something, we do not add it. Therefore C will not be our answer either.

The total number of outcomes is the denominator, so D is incorrect. The favorable outcome is the probability we are thinking of, so four even numbers. 4 is the favorable outcome and the numerator, so the answer is B.

I hope this helps!

The answer should be
B) the number of favorable outcomes
since 10 is the total number

-4÷[1/3(7-1/2)]+3<br>(pls show your work)

jek_recluse [69]

Step-by-step explanation:

= -4 ÷ ( 1/3 × (7 - 1/2) ) + 3

= -4 ÷ ( 1/3 × 13/2 ) + 3

= -4 ÷ 13/6 + 3

= -4 × 6/13 + 3

= -24/13 + 3

= -24/13 + 39/13

= 15/13

Construct the discrete probability distribution for the random variable described. Express the probabilities as simplified fract

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$P(X = 0) = 0.03125$

$P(X = 1) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 2) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 3) = 0.3125$

$P(X = 4) = 0.15625$

$P(X = 5) = 0.03125$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each toss, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is tails, or it is not. The probability of a toss resulting in tails is independent of any other toss, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
