we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.

so

 P=size of the event space/size of the sample space

 

step 1

find the probability that Joey will be first

size of the sample size=12

size of the event space=1

P=1/12

step 2

find the probability that Chloe will be second

size of the sample size=12-1=11

size of the event space=1

P=1/11

step 3

find the probability that Zoe will be third

size of the sample size=11-1=10

size of the event space=1

P=1/10

step 4

Find the probability that Joey will be first, Chloe will be second, and Zoe will be third

P=(1/12)*(1/11)*(1/10)-----> P=1/1320-----> 0.00075------> 0.076%

the answer is

the probability that Joey will be first, Chloe will be second, and Zoe will be third is 0.00075 (0.076%)

Which graph represents y=-2x
seraphim [82]

A graph which represents the linear function y = -2x is: graph B.

<h3>What is a graph?</h3>

In Mathematics, a graph can be defined as a type of chart that is typically used for the graphical representation of data points or ordered pairs on both the horizontal and vertical lines of a cartesian coordinate, which are the x-axis and y-axis respectively.

Generally speaking, the graph of any proportional relationship is characterized by a straight line with the data points passing through the origin (0, 0) because as the values on the x-axis (x-coordinate) either increases or decreases, the values on the y-axis (y-coordinate) increases or decreases simultaneously.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the relationship between x-values and y-values in the graph of y = -2x is proportional as it passes through the origin (0, 0).

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Ratio = 2 : 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

k = 2 : 15 --- scale factor

Required [missing from the question]:

The ratio of width of the model to the original

From the question, we understand that the scale factor is: 2 : 15

The ratio of the width of the model to the original equals the given scale factor i.e.

Ratio = 2 : 15

Answer:

Just substitute each number into the expression:

5(5) - 6(3) + 20(1/4)/4(3)(1/4) = 25 - 18 + 5/3 = 7 + 5/3 = 26/3 or 8 and 2/3.
