Given:
6 girls
4 boys
Probability of 1 girl being chosen: 1/6
Probability of 1 boy being chosen: 1/4
Probability of another boy being chosen: 1/3
1/6 = 0.17 x 100% = 17%
1/4 = 0.25 x 100% = 25%
1/3 = 0.33 x 100% = 33%
17% + 25% + 33% = 75%
The probability that exactly one girl and two boys will receive awards is 75%.
The answer is <span>0.43 that is what i got</span>
Alright so turn 3/4 into a decimal.
3/4 =.75
We need to set up an equation. To do that are need to give boys and girls their own variables.
Girls= X
And since there is 3/4 as many boys
Boys=. 75X
Now we know the sum of boys and girls equals 35
X+.75X=35
X+.75X=1.75X
Now we have 1.75X=35
Divide by 1.75 and get
20=X
Now plug 20 into the equations got from before.
Boys =. 75*X = 20 *. 75 = 15
Girls = X =20
Your Answer:
15 boys
20 girls
You can check
20+15=35
15/20=3/4
