Answer:

216/343 or 0.6297 (4dp)

Step-by-step explanation:

Anytime the probability of an event occurs more than once in a particular order (one time after another in the same instance), then the probability is multiplied together. If the probability of him making the shot is 1/7, then the probability of him missing it is 6/7. This is because this is the only other possible outcomes and all outcome probabilities must add to 1 (1-1/7 - 6/7).

So, if he misses it three times in a row then the probability is:

6/7 (probability miss this first time) x 6/7 (probability miss second time) x 6/7 (probability miss 3rd time).

6/7 x 6/7 x 6/7 = 216/343

or 0.6297 (4dp)

Hope this helped!

OleMash [197]
If you add all the gumballs together you get a total of 20200 gumballs now you just divide 5252 by the total number of 20200 to get the percent of 26% giving us the answer to what the percent of red there is in this container

(add all the number, divide the total number of reds by the total number of gumballs (5252 divided by 20200) which will give you the percent of red gumballs (26%)

Easy i guess but i don’t understand
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

y = 1500 - 200x

Step-by-step explanation:

y would be the amount of water remaining in the pool

x would be the amount of hours that have passed.

So the only change I made was to convert 400 every 2 hrs to 200 every hour.

makes sense?
