6 out of 40 had viruses.

6 out of 40 = 6/40 = 3/20 = 0.15 = 15%

In the 40-computer sample, 15% of the computers have viruses.

Answer: 15%

Suppose that 1/2 of all cars sold at a Nissan dealer in a given year are Altimas, 1/3 are Maximas, and the rest are Sentras. Sup
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

(1) Not conditional, 5/8

(2) Not conditional, 1/12

(3) Conditional, 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of cars sold

Altima = 1/2

Maxima = 1/3

Sentra = 1 - (1/2 + 1/3) = 1 - 5/6 = (6 - 5)/6 = 1/6

Fraction of cars sold with moon roof

Altima = 3/4 × 1/2 = 3/8

Maxima = 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6

Sentra = 1/2 × 1/6 = 1/12

(1) Probability (a randomly selected car has a moon roof) = 3/8 + 1/6 + 1/12 = (9+4+2)/24 = 15/24 = 5/8

(2) Probability (a randomly selected car has a moon roof given it is Sentra) = 1/12

(3) Probability (a randomly selected car is a Maxima if it has a moon roof) = 1/3 × 1/6 = 1/18

A conditional probability uses if (as a condition) in making statements or asking questions

An unconditional probability makes statement or ask question without the use of condition (if)

If VZ=p–7 and WY=p–21, what is the value of p?
sveta [45]

Using the midline property;

2wy = vz

2(p - 21) = p - 7

2p - 42 = p - 7

2p - p =  - 7 + 42

p = 35

A lamp post with a height of 12 ft casts a shadow of 6 ft. A fire hydrant near it casts a shadow that is 1.5 ft long. How tall i
alex41 [277]

Answer:

3ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Height of lamp, h=12ft

Height of shadow, l=6ft

Height of shadow of hydrant, l'=1.5ft

Let height of hydrant=h'

We have to find the height of fire hydrant.

All right triangles are similar

When two triangles are similar then, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal.

Using the property

\frac{h}{h'}=\frac{l}{l'}

\frac{12}{h'}=\frac{6}{1.5}

h'=\frac{12\times 1.5}{6}

h'=3ft

Hence, the height of fire hydrant=3 ft

In a bag of marbles, 6 are blue. The probability of picking out a blue marble from the bag is 3/5. How many marbles are in the b
postnew [5]

Answer: 3/5 = (6/10). There are 10 TOTAL marbles in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a question of fractions, you can assume any reasonable number and work with the numbers. We know initially that there are 6 marbles and they are ALL blue and the rest are another color or colors. So BLUE = 6/10 and the other colors 4/10 for 2/5.
