Question:

In a neighbourhood pet show, each of the animals entered is equally likely to win. if there are 7 dogs, 6 cats, 3 birds, and 2 gerbils entered, what is the probability that a bird will win the top prize?

Answer:

Probability that a bird will win the top prize is 0.167

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The number of dogs = 7

The number of cats = 6

The number of birds = 3

The number of gerbils = 2

To Find:

Probability that a bird will win the top prize = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the total number of pets .

The Total number of pets = 7 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 18

Now the probability of a bird will win the top prize is

=> $\frac{\text {Number of birds}}{\text{ Total number of pets}}$

=> $\frac{3}{18}$

=> $\frac{1}{6}$

=>0.167

The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 units. the width, w, of the rectangle is 8 units.which equation correctly relates the given i

pychu [463]

The length of the given rectangle is 10 units.

Here, we are given that the perimeter of a rectangle is 36 units.

A rectangle is a figure with 4 sides and opposite sides equal. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the given formula-

Perimeter = 2 ( length + breadth )

Here, the breadth (width) is given to be 8 units.

Let the length be x units.

Then, we can form the following equation-

Perimeter = 2( x + 8 )

36 = 2x + 16

36 - 16 = 2x

20 = 2x

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Thus, the length of the given rectangle is 10 units.

Which function will produce the same graph as the function shown below?

pav-90 [236]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The function that will produce the same graph as the function y=(x+1)(x-3) would be y=x^2-2x-3. Both equations are the same. You can confirm it by simplifying the equation. Hope this answers the question.

AC=(5x+12) and BD =8x? Can somebody help me to slove it

AleksAgata [21]

To solve this equation from the information given above, I ordered it 5x+12=8x. To solve, I subtracted 5x from each side, canceling the 5x to your left, leaving only the number 12. 8x minus 5x equals 3x. Take 3x and divide on both sides. 3x/3x cancels the 3, leaving 12/3 equals 4. Finally, x equals 4.

Algebra I

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (40, 3000)

Point (60, 4000)

Step 2: Find slope m

Substitute: $m=\frac{4000-3000}{60-40}$
Subtract: $m=\frac{1000}{20}$
Divide: $m=50$

According to a certain country's department of education, 39.9% of 3-year-olds are enrolled in day care. what is the probabi

Yuliya22 [10]

The probability would be 39.9%

The given probability states that 39.9% of the 3 years olds are in daycare. Therefore, it would be obvious to assume that if you randomly selected a 3 year old, that would be the probability that he/she is in daycare.
