The probability of an 8th grader winning is : 14/42 which reduces to 1/3
the simulation would be : # 3 <====
because u will have 6 equal sections on ur spinner...with each section representing 7 people
one section representing 9th graders...so their is 7 of them
2 sections representing 8th graders....so their is 7 * 2 = 14 of them
and 3 sections representing 7th graders....7 * 3 = 21 of them
-13/24 because u have to multiply to get the same denominator which would end up being -15/24 and 2/24 add that to get -13/24
This strategy works because if you subtract one number from another the sum of the two numbers should be the that is being subtracted from. (In this case, it's 200)
Population are always modeled by exponential growth equation given by:
f(x)=a(1+b)^t
where:
a=original number
b=rate of growth
t=time
thus
f(x)=412(1.05)^t
the population after 9 months will be:
f(9)=412(1.05)^9=639.15=639
