Answer:

The probability that the state will be hit by a major tornado two years in a row is 0.00309.

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events are those events that are not affected by the occurrence (or no occurrence) of other events. These events do not affect the probability of another even taking place.

For example, the events of winning a lottery and being late for work are independent or the events of taking a cab home and making dinner are also independent.

In this case we are provided that the probability that a certain state will be hit by a major tornado is, \frac{1}{18}.

Consider the event that a state was hit by the major tornado.

The event of the major tornado hitting a state a second time next year is not dependent on the fact that it had already hit that state last year.

The two events are independent.

Compute the probability that the state will be hit by a major tornado two years in a row as follows:

P (Tornado hits twice) = P (Tornado in 1st year) × P (Tornado in 2nd year)

                                     =\frac{1}{18}\times \frac{1}{18}\\=0.00309

Thus, the probability that the state will be hit by a major tornado two years in a row is 0.00309.

Un jardinier a récolté deux quintaux trois quarts de pommes . Il vend un quintal un quart à un voisin ; il vend aussi 7/10 de qu
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notez que: un quintal =

une unité de poids égale à 100 kg

Un jardinier a récolté deux quintaux et trois quarts de pommes.

Le nombre total de pommes récoltées = 200 kg + 3/4 du quintal de pommes

= 200 kg + 0,381 kg

= 200,381 kg

Il vend un quintal un quart à un voisin

Le montant qu'il a vendu à un voisin = 100 + 1/4 quintal de pommes

100 + 0,127

= 100,127 kg

Il vend également 7/10 d'un quintal sur le marché du village

= 7/10 × 100 kg

= 70 kg de pommes restantes

2/5 d'un quintal à un pâtissier.

2/5 × 100 kg

= 40 kg de pommes restantes

À l'aide d'une fraction, exprimez la quantité de pomme que le jardinier a gardée pour lui.

La quantité que le jardinier lui a réservée =

200 3/4 kg - (100 1/4 kg + 70 kg + 40 kg)

200,381 kg - (210,127 kg)
