A stack of cards is numbered 1 to 21. Leilani pulls one card from the stack. What is the best approximation for the probability
arlik [135]

Answer:

The approximation is 0.2( real value is 0.19)

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the best approximation if in a pack of cards labeled 1 to 21 , the card selected is a multiple of 5

First we know that the total number of options in our sample space is 21; from 1 to 21

now let’s get the multiples of 5. we have 5,10,15 and 20

The probability of selecting a multiple of 5 is thus; 4/21 . This can be approximately be said to be 0.2 ( actual value is 0.19)

3. 36 percent of 18 is 18 percent of what number?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The required number is 3.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : 3.36 percent of 18 is 18 percent of what number?

Solution :

Let the required number be 'x',

According to question,

3.36 percent of 18 is 18 percent of x,

i.e. 3.36\%\times 18=18\%\times x

\frac{3.36}{100}\times 18=\frac{18}{100}\times x

x=\frac{3.36\times 100}{100\times 18}\times 18

x=3.36

So, 3.36 percent of 18 is 18 percent of 3.36,

Therefore, The required number is 3.36.

Two points are 10 units apart on the coordinate plane. If
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The vertical distance the ant have to walk is 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The ant must be walk vertically and horizontally

∴ The distance from start point to end point will be as

   a hypotenuse of a right angle triangle

∵ The ant would have to walk 6 units horizontally that

   means one side of the right angle is 6 units

∵ The two points are apart by 10 units that means

   the length of the hypotenuse is 10 units

∴ The vertical distance the ant would have to walk is

   the length of the second side of the right angle

* By using Pythagoras Theorem:

∵ (hypotenuse)² = (horizontal leg)² + (vertical leg)²

∴ 10² = 6² + (vertical leg)²

∵ (vertical leg)² = 100 - 36 = 64

∴ Vertical leg  = √64 = 8 units

∴ The vertical distance the ant have to walk is 8 units
