Answer:  C. 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The fraction of stores inventory is children's clothing=\dfrac{1}{3}

The fraction of stores inventory is women's clothing=\dfrac{2}{5}

Since both events are independent.

Therefore, the fraction of the total inventory is children's or women's clothing =  (Fraction of stores inventory is children's clothing ) + (Fraction of stores inventory is women's clothing )

=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{5+2(3)}{15}

=\dfrac{11}{15}

∴ The fraction of the total inventory is children's or women's clothing =\dfrac{11}{15}

Hence, the correct answer is C. 11/15 .

Ann:my number has two periods.one contains the digits 4,1,and 8 in that order.the other contains the digit 9.
GarryVolchara [31]

The Decimal number system has following rules.

Suppose you have to write a number 4,567,892 .

2 -ones - (first period)

9-tens - (first period)

8-hundreds - (first period)

7-thousands  - (second period)

6-ten thousand- (second period)

5-hundred thousand- (second period)

4-million- (third period)

then comes ten million,hundred million and then Billion.

If a number is given you have to apply commas from left to right after every three places.

So, your number is 9,418.

8-first period

1--first period

4--first period

9- second period

Sara selects two of the seven colors of the rainbow, one after another, with replacement. What is the probability that the first
Triss [41]

Well, there are actually millions of colors in the rainbow, (every color that the human eye can see), but I do understand the question you're asking:

 

-- When Sara is ready to make her first selection, there are seven things with different colors in the pot, and one of them is red.

The probability that she picks the red one is ( 1 / 7 ).

The question says "with replacement". That means that after she selects it and looks at it, she puts it back in the pot. So . . .

-- When she's ready to make her second selection, the same seven things with different colors are still in the pot.  One of them is orange.

The probability that she picks the orange one is ( 1 / 7 ).

-- The probability of BOTH selections being successful (the color she wants) is

(1/7) x (1/7) .

That's <em>(1/49)</em>, which is about  <em>2.04 percent</em> .
