In probability, an "or" means adding the probabilities, and an "and" means multiplying them.
The probability of Komets losing is 100-47 = 53% = .53. The probability of the Galaxy winning is 22% = .22.
Therefore, the probability of Komet losing AND Galaxy winning is

.53 × .22 = .1166

Answer: There is probability of approximately 12% that Komets losing their race and the Galaxy winning their game.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of the Galaxy team wins = 22%

Probability of the Komets team wins = 47%

So, Probability of the Komets losing their race is given by

100-47=53\%

We need to find the probability of the Komets losing their and the Galaxy winning their game .

Let Event K : Komets losing their game

Event G : Galaxy winning their game

Since these are two independent events,

So,

P(K\cap G)=P(K).P(G)\\\\P(K\cap G)=0.22\times 0.53\\\\P(K\cap G)=0.1166=0.12=12\%

So, there is probability of 12% that Komets losing their race and the Galaxy winning their game.

Draw a line through the point (2, 0) with a slope of 1/4
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = 1/4 x - 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The general equation for a line is y = mx + b

You know that m = 1/4. The problem is what do you do about (2,0)?

Solution

y = 1/4 x + b                  Let x = 2 when y = 0

0 = 1/4 * 2 + b               multiply 2 * 1/4

0 = 1/2 + b                     Subtract 1/2 from both sides

b = - 1/2

equation y = 1/4 x - 1/2

Solve for w. 0.05w = 15
steposvetlana [31]
In order to find the value first multiply both sides by 100 to simplify the equation:
0.05w*100=15*100
5w=1500
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
5w/5=1500/5
w=300
The final solution is w=300!

Hope i could help.
