Answer:

a) 0.6

b) 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are taking 3 from a sample of 5 without replacements, we would have 5 choices for the first pick, 4 choices for the 2nd pick and 3 choices for the 3rd pick. The total possible number of ways to do this is:

5*4*3 = 60 ways

As order does not matter (GLS is the same as GSL), we divide this by the number of ways the 3 picks can be arrange, which is 3*2*1 = 6

So there are 60/6 = 10 possible samples

(a) If the governor is included in the sample, then we only have 4 choices for the 2nd pick and 3 choices for the 3rd pick. And there are also 2 ways to arrange this.

So there are 4*3/2 = 6 possible samples. The probability of this happening is 6/10 = 0.6

(b) If G and A are included, we only have 3 choices for the last pick. So the probability of this to happen is 3/10 = 0.3

a fair number cube labeld 1,2,3,4,5,6 is rolled a hundred times. about how many times could you expect to roll a three?
Vsevolod [243]
So probability is (desired outcomes)/(total possitlble outcomes)
desired is 1 since 3 appaears once on the cube
6 total possible

so probaity of rolling a3 is 1/6

100 times
100 times 1/6=100/6=16 and 2/3 times
round up
17 times

IXL 7th grade math could someone please help!
KIM [24]

Answer:

supplementary angles are two angles that when add equal 180 degrees.

The supplement of an angle is 180 - n.

Step-by-step explanation:

n = 17(180 - n)

n = 3060 - 17n

n + 17n = 3060

18n = 3060

n = 3060/18

n = 170

so the unknown angle (n) = 170 degrees and its supplement = (180 - 170 = 10)......= 10 degrees.

____ [38]

Answer

length = 11 in

width = 6in

2 in = 5m

length =

28m ÷ 5

= 5

remainder 3m

1 in = 2.5

if 2in = 5m

then 2 × 5 = 10

10 + 1 = 11in

width

2in = 5m

15m ÷ 5

= 3

What property describe the number sentence 6 plus 0 equal 6
nata0808 [166]

The identity property of addition states that any number plus zero equals the original number. So, 6 + 0 = 6 shows the identity property of addition. Other number sentences that show this property would include: 8 + 0 = 8, 153 + 0 = 153, and 1,899,888 + 0 = 1,899,888. In each case, the original number plus 0 equals the original number. It doesn't matter how large or small the original number is.
