Answer:

a) 0.25

b) 0.25

c) 0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Do you remember when breakfast cereal companies placed prizes in boxes of cereal? Possibly you recall that when a certain prize or toy was particularly special to children, it increased their interest in trying to get that toy. How many boxes of cereal would a customer have to buy to get that toy? Companies used this strategy to sell their cereal.

One of these companies put one of the following toys in its cereal boxes: a block (B), a toy watch (W), a toy ring (R), and a toy airplane (A). A machine that placed the toy in the box was programmed to select a toy by drawing a random number of 1 to 4. If a 1 was selected, the block (or B) was placed in the box; if a 2 was selected, a watch (or W) was placed in the box; if a 3 was selected, a ring (or R) was placed in the box; and if a 4 was selected, an airplane (or A) was placed in the box. When this promotion was launched, young children were especially interested in getting the toy airplane.

What is the probability of getting an airplane in the first cereal box?

Since the machine randomly selects toys, each toy has the same probability of being obtained in a cereal box.

Then, the total outcomes are 4 and the probability of getting an airplane in the first cereal box is 0.25 (25%).

What is the probability of getting an airplane in the second cereal box?

Two independent events do not change the probability of occurrence of one event or another.

The probability of getting an airplane in the second cereal box is 0.25 (25%).

What is the probability of getting airplanes in both cereal boxes?

P(1°∩2°)= P(1°) × P(2°) = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{4} =\frac{1}{16}

P(1°∩2°)= 0.0625 = 6.25%

Suppose that production of 1 unit of mining requires 33​/77 unit of​ mining, 22​/77 unit of​ manufacturing, and 22​/77 unit of c
taurus [48]
The ratio should be written as:

mining:manufacturing:communication

Since there are three varieties of ratio's, then there is a specific answer for each. For the first example, the ratio is written as:

33/77:22/77:22/77
To find the integer ratio, divide all numbers with the smallest value, 22/77. The ratio becomes: 1.5:1:1

For the second example,
55/77:11/77:11/77
To find the integer ratio, divide all numbers with the smallest value, 11/77. The ratio becomes: 5:1:1

For the third example,
0:11/77:66/77
For this, exclude the ratio for mining because if you use this as the value, then all the numbers would be zero. Instead, divide using 11/77. The ratio becomes: 6:1.
