Mathematics

Artist 52 [7]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees = 7 + 9 = 16

Probability of a man being chosen first to be promoted = 9/16

Probability of the second choice is still a man for promotion = 8/15

Why 8/15?

The number of men left who are eligible for promotion after the 1st man was chosen for promotion is 9 - 1 = 8

The total number of people left after the 1st person is chosen for promotion that are eligible for promotion is 16 - 1 = 15

Hence Probability of choosing 2 men for promotion = 9/16 x 8/15 = 3/10

Please help i will give brainly FIRST PERSON TO GET IT RIGHT EVERY TIME I POST A QUESTION YOU WILL ALWAYS GET BRAINLY
Westkost [7]

Answer:

1) Lowest temperature = -5.5 (Wednesday)

2) a. -62 is less than (colder than) -55 so the average temperature on Mars is warmer.

b. -62 < -55

3) No. -14 means that the number is 14 <u>less than</u> zero. -21 means that the number is 21 <u>less than</u> zero. Also, if you plot these numbers on a number line, -21 will be further to the left than -14. The further to the left a number is, the less it is. So, -21 is less than -14 and Anchorage is colder than Minneapolis.
