Answer is C: 6/8
solve with square roots
You need to put the 15 over 1 and multiply 6 by 3 to get 18, which would be added to 2 to get 20/3, which you flip in order to get 3/20. You multiply the 15 by the 3 and the 1 by the 20 to get 45/20. You then simplify to get 2 1/4
So the ratio is at ¼ : 12, namely the drawing has ¼ inch to an actual 12 feet.
so, what would it be for an actual 15 feet on the drawing then?
Answer:
Here, we have:
P(5 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C5 x (0.85)^5 x (1 - 0.85)^3 = 0.084
P(6 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C6 x (0.85)^6 x (1 - 0.85)^2 = 0.238
P(7 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C7 x (0.85)^7 x (1 - 0.85)^1 = 0.385
P(8 days snow in this 8 days) = 8C8 x (0.85)^8 x (1 - 0.85)^0 = 0.272
Add up those above, then the probability that it will snow AT LEAST five of those days in February:
P = 0.084+ 0.238 + 0. 385 + 0.272 = 0.979
Hope this helps!
