Answer:
There is a 2.7% chance that a particular death is due to an automobile accident?
Step-by-step explanation:
Automobile _____ 24 deaths
Cancer _________182 deaths
Heart disease ____333 deaths
Total ___________ 883 deaths
Probability = number of automobile accident deaths / total deaths
Probability = 24 / 883
Probability = 0.027
Probability = 2.7%
The dependent is the childrens hospital
Step-by-step explanation:
the probability is always the number of desired cases over the number of all possible cases.
in our situation we have 15 cards.
that is the total possible cases when a random card is chosen.
how many desired cases do we have ?
a number NOT a multiple of 5.
how many are there ?
it is easier to say how many numbers there are being a multiple of 5 : 5, 10, 15
so, 3 numbers out of the 15 are multiple of 5.
that means
15 - 3 = 12 numbers of the 15 are NOT multiples of 5.
so, the probability to draw a card that is not a multiple of 5 is
12/15 = 4/5 = 0.8
the information about event B and even numbers is irrelevant for the question.
Take the root of both sides and solve.
Answer:
The temperature of the weather station was 3 degrees Celcius an hour earlier.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that the weather an hour ago should be represented with the variable - x.
From the problem, we know that the temperature of the station falls at a rate of -3 degrees per hour. This means that for every hour, the temperature of the place will go down by about 3 degrees Celsius.
If the temperature of the weather station is currently 0 degrees Celsius, to find its temperature an hour earlier, it means that we will need to add 3 degrees to its current temperature, because that is what must have lost in one hour.
i.e x = 0 + 3 = 3 degrees Celcius.
This means that the temperature of the weather station was 3 degrees Celcius an hour earlier.
