Answer: 1/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability of selecting a mint out of the jar, we use our ratio for the probability of an event which is shown below.

(P) event = <em>number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes</em>.

Since there are 7 mints in the jar, the number of favorable outcomes is 4 and since there are 35 candies in all,

the total number of outcomes is 35.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a mint is 7/35.

Notice however that 7/35 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator of 7/35 by their greatest common factor of 7 to get 1/5.

So our final answer for the probability of selecting a mint is 1/5.

Lin solved the equation

Answer: x=1/2

she was wrong, it's supposed to be

Step-by-step explanation: 8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(x−3)+7=2x(4−17)

(8)(x)+(8)(−3)+7=2x(4−17)(Distribute)

8x+−24+7=−26x

(8x)+(−24+7)=−26x(Combine Like Terms)

8x+−17=−26x

8x−17=−26x

Step 2: Add 26x to both sides.

8x−17+26x=−26x+26x

34x−17=0

Step 3: Add 17 to both sides.

34x−17+17=0+17

34x=17

Step 4: Divide both sides by 34.

34x/34=17/34 x=1/2

Evaluate the expression when x = 8 and y = 1.
Rzqust [24]
The answer should be 4.

First, simplify \frac{8}{2} to 4. Your problem should look like: 4 x 1. 
Second, multiply. 4 x 1 = 4 so that is your answer.

Also, 
to start the equation up, make sure to add in the numbers in replace for the letters. Your problem to start with should look like: \frac{8}{2(1)}.

1) Find the lump that must be deposited today to have a future value of $ 25,000 in 5 years if funds earn 6 % componded annually
Hoochie [10]

Answer: $ 18681.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Future value : FV=\$25,000

The rate of interest : r=0.06

The number of time period : t=5

The formula to calculate the future value is given by :-

\text{Future value}=P(1+i)^n, where P is the initial amount deposited.

\Rightarrow\ 25000=P(1+0.06)^5\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{25000}{(1.06)^5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=18681.4543217\approx=18681.45

Hence, the lump that must be deposit today : $ 18681.45

Develop a probability model for the spinner shown.<br> Will give brainliest!
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Suppose we roll a six-sided number cube. Rolling a number cube is an example of an experiment, or an activity with an observable result. The numbers on the cube are possible results, or outcomes, of this experiment. The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the sample space of the experiment. The sample space for this experiment is \displaystyle \left\{1,2,3,4,5,6\right\}{1,2,3,4,5,6}. An event is any subset of a sample space.

The likelihood of an event is known as probability. The probability of an event \displaystyle pp is a number that always satisfies \displaystyle 0\le p\le 10≤p≤1, where 0 indicates an impossible event and 1 indicates a certain event. A probability model is a mathematical description of an experiment listing all possible outcomes and their associated probabilities. For instance, if there is a 1% chance of winning a raffle and a 99% chance of losing the raffle, a probability model would look much like the table below.

Outcome Probability

Winning the raffle 1%

Losing the raffle 99%

The sum of the probabilities listed in a probability model must equal 1, or 100%.

70% of Ms. Miller's class passed the test on the first try. Those who failed were able to retake and half of those students pass
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
  2. 6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
  3. Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.
