Answer: E) 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of any member being selected for each of the 3 posts is 1/10 that is they have equal probabilities of being selected for any of the posts.

The probability that harry would be selected for;

Secretary Ps= 1/10

Treasurer Pt = 1/10

So the probability of being selected for either secretary or treasurer is

P = Ps + Pt

P = 1/10 + 1/10

P = 2/10

P = 1/5

Note: ignore the sequence of selection

Answer:

7. Mean = 48

Median = 47.5

Mode = 72

Range = 66

8. Mean= 59.625

Median = 61

Mode = 90

Range = 79

9. Mean = 31.57

Median = 32

Mode = 46

Range = 34

10. Mean = 42.11

Median = 36

Mode = 51

Range = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average. Mode is the number that appears the most. Median is the middle number. Range is the biggest number minus the smallest number.

Hope this helps.

On the children's baseball field shown, the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate is 50 feet. The distance from the pi
nikdorinn [45]
The Pythagorean theorem is with right triangles. You know that a right triangle is formed from first to the mound to home-plate. So when you draw it out and label the sides you have one missing side. the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = C^2. the c side is always the slanted side. In this case the c side would be from homeplate to first base. So you just have to solve now. (33)^2 + (50)^2 = c^2. So  1089 + 2500 = c^2. Add together and you get: 3589 = c^2. Lastly take the square-root of 3589 and that is the answer. 59.9. So the answer is 59.9 feet.
