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

Tell whether the sequence is arithmetic. If it is, what is the common difference?

Ilya [14]

The answer is B. Yes; 4

Arithmetic sequence is the type of sequence of numbers which difference between each number will always remain constant
in the sequence above we could see the difference between one number with another is exactly 4:

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

23 + 4 = 27

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym. She then finds a better deal at another gym, so she cancels her membership wit

valkas [14]

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Step-by-step explanation:

Jan spends part of her year as a member of a gym.

She then finds a better deal at another gym so she cancels her membership with the first gym after x months
She spends the rest of the year, y months, with the second gym
The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month, while the membership for the second gym costs $45 per month
She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course of the year

We need to find how much time she spent at each gym

∵ She spent x months in the 1st gym

∵ She spent y months in the 2nd gym

∵ Her course is a year

- There are 12 months in a year

∴ x + y = 12 ⇒ (1)

∵ The membership to the first gym costs $75 per month

∵ The membership to the second gym costs $45 per month

∵ She ended up spending a total of $780 over the course

∴ 75x + 45y = 780 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Multiply equation (1) by -45 to eliminate y

∵ -45x - 45y = -540 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ 30x = 240

- Divide both sides by 30

∴ x = 8

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ 8 + y = 12

- Subtract 8 from both sides

∴ y = 4

She spent 8 months in the 1st gym and 4 months in the 2nd gym

Suppose we select, without looking, one marbles from a bag containing 4 red marbles and 10 green marbles.what is the probability

OlgaM077 [116]

Since 10 out of 14 marbles are green, the probability of selecting a green marble is 10/14=0.714.

Similarly, the probability of selecting a red marble would be 4/14.

Answer: 0.714
