Answer: C.) 4/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

One out of three cards is a winner :

P(winning) = 1 / 3

Therefore, P(not winning) = P(losing) :

1 - P(winning) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Probability that shenice will first win on her third try can be interpreted as:

1st try = lose, 2nd try: lose, 3rd try : win

P(losing) × p(losing) × p(winning)

(2/3) × (2/3) × (1/3)

4 / 27

Probability of first winning on third try = 4/27

Answer: Choice C

The first inequality is 124+121+x \ge 400

The second inequality is x \ge 155

Replace x with whatever letter your teacher is using

=========================================================

Let x be the number of cans collected on week 3

Add this to the previous totals (for weeks 1 and 2) to get 124 + 121 + x. I'm going to leave this as is and not simplify. This is so the answer matches up. This total must be greater than or equal to 400, meaning 124+121+x can be 400 or larger.

124+121+x >= 400

245+x >= 400 .... combine like terms

x >= 400-245 .... subtract 245 from both sides

x >= 155

So you need to collect at least 155 cans for the third week so that you'll have at least 400 cans total.
