Answer: Our required probability is 0.134.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                    Sprints           Middle distance        Long distance      Total

Male                 16                          11                               9                   36

Female              12                          14                              5                   31

Total                 28                         25                             14                   67

So, the probability that a random chosen long distance runner is male is given by

\dfrac{\text{Number of male for long distance}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{9}{67}\\\\=0.134

Hence, our required probability is 0.134.

There are 9 long distance male runners and 5 long distance female runners. This makes a total of 9+5 = 14 long distance runners.

Out of this total of 14 long distance runners, there are 9 males. So the probability as a fraction is 9/14

If you need the answer in decimal form, then use a calculator to get 9/14 = 0.642857 which is approximate.

What % of 40 is 15? Please put how u do it
andriy [413]

Answer:

37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

so x% of 40 is 15

the equation for that is

x/100 * 40 = 15

40x/100 = 15

multiply 100 on both sides

40x = 1500

divide 40 on both sides

37.5

37.5% of 40 is 15
