Answer:

Correct option is C i.e., 5:1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of winning a price is \frac{1}{6}

The probability of losing is 1-\frac{1}{6} =\frac{5}{6}

The actual odd against winning will be:

The ratio of losing to winning which is:

\frac{ \frac{5}{6}}{\frac{1}{6} }

=\frac{5}{1}

Thus the answer is:

C)5:1

Answer:

6x2 + 23x + 7 = 0

Factorization:

(2x + 7)(3x + 1) = 0

Solutions based on factorization:

2x + 7 = 0   ⇒   x1 = −7

2

= −3.5

3x + 1 = 0   ⇒   x2 = −1

3

≈ −0.333333

Extrema:

Min = (−1.916667, −15.041667)

Step-by-step explanation: hope this helps

Find the x and y intercepts 5y + 3x = 15
Tomtit [17]
First, find the x-intercept.

The x-intercept will be at the point (x, 0) where x is any real number. If we substitute the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate for the x and y variables in the equation, we can solve for x.

5y + 3x = 15
5(0) + 3x = 15
3x + 15
x = 5

We found the x-intercept now find the y-intercept with the same process.

The y-intercept will be at the point (0, y) where y is any real number.

5y + 3x = 15
5y + 3(0) = 15
5y = 15
y = 3

So, the x-intercept is (5, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, 3)

The voting trends for 163 countries were studied. Malta was rated number 1, but was left off of Table 2-2 which is a random samp
Crazy boy [7]
I think the possible way that the percentage vote of a country is different to the next random sampling to the other data table is its population in each country. In the first table i think Malta has the edge to this table data and place in number 1 but to the other data table the country was left of.
