Answer:

The number of balloons needed is 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider that each balloon has a radius of 3 cm, so the total diameter of a balloon is 6 cm.

The board measures 1 m x 1 m, with that we can calculate how many balloons fits in the left side of the board.

100 cm ÷ 6 cm = 16,66 Total of 16 balloons in one side.

The same applies to the upper side of the boards with 16 balloons as well.

Multiplying both sides we can find the maximum amount of balloons that can be possibly be put on the board.

16 x 16 = 256

Total of 256 balloons covering the entire board.

Considering the theoretical chance of winning being 0.25 which equals to 25% of something to happen, we need to calculate how many balloons would cover 25% of the board, that can be easily calculate in this way:

If 256 balloons is 100%, since it covers the whole board, we can divide it by 100 to get a 1% value and multiply it by 25, and find the number of balloons that will mach the 0.25 probability.

256 ÷ 100 = 2,56 (This is 1%)

2,56 x 25 = 64

64 Is the total amount of balloons necessary to have a 0.25 probability of winning assuming that the darts are thrown randomly.

Please tell me, how do i solve percentages? And yes, i know there is more than one way. Please tell me the methods to solve all

Bumek [7]

I'll give a practice problem to help explain it a bit better.

Here, let's try to solve 45% of of 60.

First, we convert the percentage into a decimal. To turn any percentage into a decimal you move the point two spaces to the left.

That means 45% as a decimal is .45.

Next, we multiply our number, 60, by the decimal .45.

60×.45=27.

That means 45% of 60 is 27.

To sum it all up, you have to get the percentage, move the decimal point two spaces to the left, and multiply it by the number you were trying to find the percentage of.

Have a wonderful day! :)

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723 based on their 13 year win history of 385 wins out

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins, or it does not. The probability of winning a game is independent of winning other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
