Answer:

Cricket match toss and playing cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Cricket match toss

<em>There are two teams in a cricket match. Each team's captain comes forward for the toss. There are 2 sides of the coin; head an tail. Each captain has an equal chance of either getting a head or a tail.</em>

Total number = 2

Chances of head/tail = 1

Therefore the probability for each captain of either getting a head or a tail is 1/2.

Example 2: Playing cards

<em>A deck of cards has 52 cards. There are total 26 black cards and 26 red cards out of which there are 13 clubs, 13 spades, 13 hearts and 13 diamonds. Each category has a King, Queen, Jack, Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 card.</em>

Total number of cards: 52

Total number of 10 of spades: 1

The probability of getting a 10 of spades will be 1/52.

The scale of a map is 1:10000.Work out the distance between two banks on the map if the real distance is 600meters.

sveta [45]

Answer:

6 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale of a map is 1:10000

The real distance between two banks is 600 meters.

We are to find the distance between the two banks on the map.

This scale means that for every 1 meter on the map there are 10,000 meters on the real world.

So 600 meters on the real world would be represented by;

Cross-multiplying gives:

$\frac{600}{10000} * 100 = 6$ meters.

Andreyy89

Answer:

t= 24.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Here A(t) is the amount of the element that remains after some time. So they tell us that find the time it takes to basically have 4 grams remaining so A(t) = 4

4 = 10 * 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

0.4= 0.5 ^ (t/18.72)

t= 24.75 days

Answer should make sense because half life is around 18 days which means to go from 10 g to 5g would be somewhere around 18 days but we are going to 4 g so it takes more days
