Answer:

Consider the complete question is,

'The odds in favor of frank McKinney winning a hot dog eating contest are 2:9,

  • Determine the probability that Frank will win the contest,
  • Determine the probability that Frank will not win the contest'

Solution :

We know that,

Odds in favor : the ratio of the number of ways that an outcome can occur compared to how many ways it cannot occur.

We have,

\frac{\text{Number of ways of winning the contest}}{\text{Number of ways of not wining the contest}}=\frac{2}{9}

So, total outcomes = 2 + 9 = 11,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Thus, the probability that Frank will win the contest = \frac{2}{11}

And,

The probability that Frank will win the contest = \frac{9}{11}

Answer:

1. 18.2 %

2. 81.8 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing:

  1. <em>Determine the probability that Frank will win the contest</em>
  2. <em>Determine the probability that Frank will not win the contest</em>

The odds are 2:9, that means 2 favorable outcomes and 9 unfavorable outcomes, which means that the total possible outcomes are 9+2 = 11

To probability of winning is: favorable outcomes/total possible outcomes  = 2/11 = 0.182 or 18.2%

To probability of not winning is: unfavorable outcomes/total possible outcomes  = 9/11 = 0.818 or 81.8%

Find the distance between the points ( – 9, – 4) and ( – 4,8).
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Distance=13\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Distance between two points:</em></u> Distance between two pints (x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2) is given by

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Distance between (-9,-4)\ and\ (-4,8).

d=\sqrt{(-4-(-9))^2+(8-(-4))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(-4+9)^2+(8+4)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{(5)^2+(12)^2}=\sqrt{25+144}\\\\d=\sqrt{169}\\\\d=13

/3.10

y=176.70/3.10

y = 57 number of adult tickets

153-57=96 child tickets

child admission is $6.20 : x numbers

adult admission is $9.30 : y numbers

153 tickets were sold  

sales of $1125.30 .
