Answer:

0.7 = 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cans, and she will pick 2, so the number of possibilities that she can pick 2 cans is a combination of 5 choose 2:

C(5,2) = 5!(3!*2!) = 5*4/2 = 10

To find how many possibilities there are with at least 1 can of soup, we can find the number of groups that include no cans of soup, and then see how many possibilities complete the total 10:

There are 3 "no-soup" cans, so the number of possibilities is a combination of 3 choose 2:

C(3,2) = 3!/2! = 3

So, there are 3 possibilities that have no cans of soup, so the number of possibilities that have at least 1 can of soup is 10 - 3 = 7

Then, the probability is 7 / 10 = 0.7 = 70%.

Arada [10]

Answer:

<u>Range = 1 1/4</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Range = Maximum - Minimum

Arranging the data in ascending order :

  • <u>1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4</u>

<u />

Solving for range :

  • Range = 1 3/4 - 1/2
  • Range = 1 3/4 - 2/4
  • Range = 7/4 - 2/4
  • Range = 5/4
  • <u>Range = 1 1/4</u>
