Probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring. For example, the probability of flipping a coin and it being heads is ½, because there is 1 way of getting a head and the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (a head or tail).

Answer:

Probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to occur to the total number of outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes

For example, You have box of 10 balls. 2 balls are of red color, 3 green color and five white color balls. You are to pick one ball out of the box and the question of probability comes that what are the chances (probability) that the ball you pick out is a green color ball.

Here our formula comes

that is Probability of Green ball = number of green balls / total number of balls

= 3 / 10 = 0.3 probability

and remember that value of probability is always between 0 and 1.

The depth of a lake, d, varies directly with r, the amount of rainfall last month. if k is the constant of variation, write an e

irina1246 [14]

Answer:
d = kr

Explanation:
We know that the depth (d) varies directly with the amount of rain (r).
This means that as the amount of rain increases, the depth increases and vice-versa.
The depth would depend on r multiplied by a constant of variation (k)

Translating this into equation, we would get the following:
d = kr

Hope this helps :)
