The outcome A="At least one" means {1,2,3,4,5......n}   where n is the maximum possible outcome.

The only other outcome (B) left (i.e. the complement of the above event "at least one") is (B)={0}.

Therefore, by Kolmogorov's second axiom, A and B are complements, and
P(A)+P(B)=1
therefore
P(A)=1-P(B), or in words,
Probability of outcomes of "at least one" is the complement of the outcome of "0" item.

Write the word sentence as an inequality. Then solve the inequality.
Agata [3.3K]
The solution is x>18.

The problem tells us that 3 less than a number: x-3
is more than 15. >15
So the inequality is x-3>15. When we isolate x to simply the inequality, we add 3 to both sides, to get x>18.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

52 young calves

Step-by-step explanation:

At a dairy farm the ratio of adult milking cows to young calves was 9:2. If there were 234 adult milking cows at the farm, how many young calves were there?

The ration is given as:

adult milking cows to young calves

= 9 : 2

= 234 : x

= 9/2 = 234/x

x = Number of young calves

Cross Multiply

9 × x = 2 × 234

= x = 2 × 234/9

x = 468/9

x = 52

Hence, the number of young calves on the farm is 52.

A circle has a circumference of 1133.54 units. What is the diameter of the circle?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The diameter is 361 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for circumference of a circle is given by

C = pi *d

We know the circumference = 1133.54 and pi is approximated by 3.14

1133.54 = 3.14 *d

Divide each side by 3.14

1133.54/3.14 = d*3.14/3.14

361=d

The diameter is 361 units
