Answer:

selecting one item? If you mean each color:

40% chance for a red marble / 2/5 chance

60% chance for a blue marble / 3/5 chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Because there are 12 blue marbles and 8 red marbles, we would total them to see how many marbles there are in total. There are 20 in total, but to find the probability, if we put all 20 marbles in a bag (blue and red), and we picked a marble at random, there are 8 red marbles and 12 blue marble in that bag. The probability that I will choose red marbles is 8/20 (or 8 red marbles out of 20 total marbles), and for blue marbles, it would be 12/20 (or 12 blue marbles out of 20 total marbles). Simplify both expression to 2/5, and 3/5 respectively. Finally, if you need percentage, just multiply the denominator by 5 to get it to a hundred, and do the same to the numerator. This way you don't change the value of the expression.

If two fair dice are rolled, what is the probability that the total showing is either even or less than five?

The Probability that the total showing is either even or less than five = 5/6

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, broadly speaking, 0 represents the event's impossibility and 1 implies certainty.

<h3>According to the given data:</h3>

The example space for rolling two dice is:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

36 events total.

Events that have a sum that is even or less than Five .

Total instances when the aggregate is even or less than Five equals 30.

P(sum is even or less than 5)

= (Total no of favorable event)/(Total no of event)

= 30/36

=5/6

probability that the total showing is either even or less than five = 5/6

Solve the following equation. Round solution to the tenths place.<br> 29 = с/7.2<br> C =
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

c = 208.8

Step-by-step explanation:

a. \frac{c}{7.2} =29   <em>To solve for C, you need to get the variable on one side of the equation and the numbers on the other side of the equation.</em>

b.  \frac{c}{7.2} =29   <em>You need to move the 7.2 to the other side. So, </em><em>multiply</em><em> both sides by 7.2, because it's being divided, so multiplying will cancel it out.</em>

c:  c = 29 * 7.2   <em>Then, multiply 7.2 by 29. (The * symbol means multiply)</em>

d.  c. = 208.8   <em>The answer is 208.8, which is rounded to the tenths place.</em>

Hope this helps! I tried to explain it in detail. :)
