Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

P( coin = heads) = number of heads / total = 1/2

P( cube = 5) = number of 5's / total =1/6

P( heads, 5) =1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12

The coin toss and the number cube roll are independent events.

This is because the result of the coin toss does

not affect the result of the number cube roll.

To find the probability of two independent events, we first find the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities.

Since there is only one way to get heads when tossing a coin and there are 2 possible outcomes, tossing a heads or tails, the probability of getting heads is 1/2.

Since there is only one way to roll 5 on a number cube, there

is 1 favorable outcome but six possible outcomes.

So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.

Now multiply.

So we have 1/2 · 1/6 which is 1/12.

a wholesaler allows a discount of 25kobo for every 25 naira goods purchased . find the percentage discount allowed.
ZanzabumX [31]

The percentage discount allowed by the wholesaler is 1%

<h3>Percentage</h3>

  • 1 naira = 100 Kobo

25 naira = 25 × 100

= 2500 Kobo

Percentage discount allowed = 25 / 2500 × 100

= 0.01 × 100

= 1%

Therefore, the percentage discount allowed is 1%

Ramon wants to make an acute triangle with three pieces of wood. So far, he has cut wood lengths of 7 inches and 3 inches. He st
o-na [289]

Answer: Exactly square root 58 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The dimensions given for the right angled triangle are 7 inches and 3 inches respectively. The third side is yet unknown. However what we know is that a right angled triangle can be solved by using the Pythagoras theorem which states that,

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Where AC is the longest side. The question requires us to calculate the longest side and with the other two sides already known, the Pythagoras theorem now becomes,

AC^2 = 7^2 + 3^2

AC^2 = 49 + 9

AC^2 = 58

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

AC = square root 58 inches
