The Proportion for the 15/11=28/x
let x be the shadow that is cast by the tree.
so x=(11*28)/15
x= 20.533
Using the probability and odds concepts, it is found that the odds against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is
.
- A probability is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.
- An odd is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of non-desired outcomes</u>.
In the rack, there are 15 balls, numbered from 1 to 15. Of those, <u>6 are less than 7</u>(against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is equivalent to it containing a number less than 7), thus:
- There are 6 desired outcomes.
- There are 9 non-desired outcomes.
The odd is:

The odds against it containing a number greater than or equal to 7 is

Answer:
The correct option is (d)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Commutative property: 
Associative property:
Now consider the provided expression.
(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8
Step 1
(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8
Step 2 Use Associative property
6.2 + (−1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8
Step 3: Simplify
6.2 − 6 + 7.8
Step 4: Use commutative property
14 − 6
Step 5: Simplify
14 − 6 = 8
Hence, the wrong step is step 2. He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.
Therefore, the correct option is (d)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.
Your proportion should look something like this

After cross multiplication, you should end up with this equation

After dividing 4 on both sides, you should get that x=9
