The probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir is \boxed{25\% }..

Further explanation:

The probability is the chance of any event.

The probability can be obtained as the ratio of favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes

\boxed{{\text{Probability}} = \frac{{{\text{Favorable number of outcome}}}}{{{\text{Total number of outcomes}}}}}.

Given:

There are 1000 people in a small town, 500 are members of choir. Out of which 100 are men.

There are 500 inhabitants that are not in a choir.

Explanation:

There are total 1000 members.

The number of men that are member of choir is 100.

There are 500 members in a choir and 100 members are men.

The total number of man is 300 + 100 = 400.

Consider an event A man is a member of choir.

Consider an event B that man is randomly selected.

The probability of event A can be calculated as follows,

P\left( {A \cap B} \right) = \dfrac{{100}}{{1000}}

The probability of event B can be calculated as follows,

P\left( B \right) = \dfrac{{400}}{{1000}}

The probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir can be expressed as follows,

\begin{gathered}  {\text{Probability}} = \frac{{P\left( {A \cap B} \right)}}{{P\left( B \right)}} \\    = \frac{{\dfrac{{100}}{{1000}}}}{{\dfrac{{400}}{{1000}}}} \\    = \dfrac{{100}}{{400}} \\    = 0.25 \\    = 25\%  \\ \end{gathered}

The probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir is \boxed{25\% }.

The third day Jim plans to snow board. The boards rent for $8.95 an hour, and the boots
olganol [36]

Answer: $113.55

Step-by-step explanation:

add up the cost of the lesson, boots, board, and ticket

the lesson costs $33.80 and the ticket costs $25, these cover the whole day so no need to be multiplied. the boots cost $2 and the board costs $8.95 each hour, jim will need to pay the cost of both 5 times for 5 hours.

here is the equation to solve

33.80 + 5(8.95 + 2.00) + 25 =

33.80 + 5(10.95) + 25 =

33.80 + 54.75 + 25 =

33.80 + 79.75 = 113.55

the total cost is $113.55
