Answer:

Probability of the teacher or other staff is 0.7143

Step-by-step explanation:

pr(teacher or other staff) = pr(teacher) + pr(other staff) - pr(teacher and other staff)

Total number of tickets = 1050

Number of tickets sold to teachers = 515

Number of tickets sold to other staff = 235

pr(teacher) = \frac{515}{1050}

                 = 103 \frac{2}{10}

                 = 0.4905

pr(other staff) = \frac{235}{1050}

                    = 47 \frac{2}{10}

                  = 0.2238

Since the picking of the wining ticket is mutually exclusive, then;

pr(teacher and other staff) = 0

Thus,

pr(teacher or other staff) = 0.4905 + 0.2238 - 0

                                         = 0.7143

The cost of fabric (y) is directly proportional to he length is yards (x). If 5 yards of fabric cost $14, which equation models
marta [7]

Answer:

5x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

If 5 yards of fabric is $14 you need an equation that would solve how much 1 yard of fabric costs. You can say 5x = 14 or x = 2.8 which means that one yard of fabric (1x or just x) is $2.80.

A shuttle launch depends on three key devices that may fail independently of each other with probabilities 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02,
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

0.950796

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a shuttle launch depends on three key devices that may fail independently of each other with probabilities 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02, respectively.

Required probability =  the probability for the shuttle to be launched on time

= Probability that all three do not fail

Since each key device is independent of the other

we have

prob that all three do not fail = (1-0.01)(1-0.02)(1-0.02)\\=0.99*0.98*0.98\\=0.950796

If 2a/4=b/4 and b≠0, what does 5b equal in terms of a?
dedylja [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

you must have made a typo here.

none of the answer options are correct for the given problem.

let me just show you what you told me, and how I can solve at least this :

2a/4 = b/4

this simply means (multiply both sides by 4) :

2a = b

so, 5b is then (multiplying both sides by 5) :

5×2a = 5b

10a = 5b

but again, "10a" is not among the offered answers.

so, I don't know if you made a mistake with the basic problem or with the answer options.

Basketball player made 36 free throws in 16 games. Find the ratio of free throws to games.
Misha Larkins [42]
36 free throws , 16 games
ratio of free throws to games is 36:16 which reduces to 9:4

u have to pay attention to the wording of problems such as these..because if it would have asked for the ratio of games to free throws, it would have been 16:36 = 4:9
