Answer:

43.24% probability that the student will be a boy

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

Student being a boy.

8 boys from Wilmette

5 boys from Glencoe

3 boys from Winnetka

So D = 8+5+3 = 16

Total outcomes:

All students

T = 8+4+10+5+3+7 = 37

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{16}{37} = 0.4324

43.24% probability that the student will be a boy

Answer:

\frac{16}{37}\approx0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>BOYS</u>

  • 8 boys from Wilmette
  • 5 boys from Glencoe
  • 3 boys from Winnetka

<u>GIRLS</u>

  • 4 girls from Winnetka
  • 10 girls from Wilmette
  • 7 girls from Glencoe

Total Number of Boys n(B)= 8+5+3=16

Total Number of Girls, n(G)=4+10+7 =21

Total Number of students, n(S) =21+16 =37

If a student is called randomly to answer a question,

P(Student will be a boy)

=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)} \\=\frac{16}{37}\approx0.432

Determine whether the given event is independent or dependent. Then find the probability. There are 3 literature books, 4 geogra
Ostrovityanka [42]
This is an independent event because picking on book at random has nothing to do with picking the next book at random. The probability is 1/7

Use two unit multipliers to convert 628 kilometers to centimeters
irina [24]

Using two unit multiplier 628 km is equal to 62800000 cm

<u>Solution:</u>

628 kilometer to centimeter

We will go from kilometers to meters to centimeters.

Start by putting 628 km over 1:

\frac{628 km}{1}

We want to get rid of km and bring in m.

We know that 1000 m = 1 km.

Since km is in the numerator, we will make the  first unit multiplier by putting 1 km in the  denominator and 1000 m in the numerator, so the  km will cancel. So we multiply by the unit multiplier,

\frac{628 km}{1} \times \frac{1000m}{1km}

Now the km's will cancel:

\frac{628}{1} \times \frac{1000m}{1}

Now we want to get rid of m and bring in cm.

We know that 100 cm = 1 m.

Since meter is in the numerator, we will make the  first unit multiplier by putting 1 meter in the  denominator and 100 cm in the numerator, so the  meter's will cancel. So we multiply by the unit  multiplier

\frac{100cm}{1m}

\frac{628}{1} \times \frac{1000m}{1} \times \frac{100cm}{1m}

We cancel the m's and we end up with:

628 \times 1000 \times 100 cm

= 62800000 cm

Thus 628 km is equal to 62800000 cm

If the walls are 9' high, how much paint would I need to buy to paint the walls of all three bedrooms?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The required paint for a total of 1.404\ ft^{2} is approximate 6 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find how much paint would I need to buy to paint the walls of all three bedrooms, calculate the area of all three bedrooms

<em>Master Bedroom</em>

The area is equal to

A1=(16+16+12+2+18)*9=576\ ft^{2}

<em>2 Bedroom</em>

The area is equal to

A2=(12+14+10+10)*9=414\ ft^{2}

<em>3 Bedroom</em>

The area is equal to

A3=(10+10+14+10+2)*9=414\ ft^{2}

The total area is equal to

A=A1+A2+A3

A=576+414+414=1.404\ ft^{2}

Approximate one gallon of paint covers 250 square feet

so

1.404/250=5.6\ gal
