Answer:

0.117649

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the prospectors will not find a productive oil.

This is a binomial distribution problem

Binomial distribution function is represented by

P(X = x) = ⁿCₓ pˣ qⁿ⁻ˣ

n = total number of sample spaces = 6 oil wells available to be dug

x = Number of successes required = 0

p = probability of success = 0.3

q = probability of failure = 1 - p = 0.7

P(X = 0) = ⁶C₀ 0.3⁰ 0.7⁶⁻⁰ = (1)(1)(0.7⁶) = 0.117649

List the fractions and decimals in order from least to greatest: -0.6,-5/8,-7/17,-0.72
zhuklara [117]
First, let's convert all of these numbers to decimal form:

(This will make it much easier to compare.)

- 0.6, - 0.625, - 0.4117, - 0.72

Now we can list them from least to greatest!

-0.4117, - 0.6, -0.625, -0.72

And don't forget to convert the selective decimals that we converted earlier back into fractions!

Therefore, the final list would be:
- 7/17, - 0.6, - 5/8, - 0.72

Hope this helps!
