Answer:

The probability is 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the event of a major earthquake is independent of other major earthquakes, the problem is quite simple. We know that the probability an event like this occurs every ten years is 0.1.

Using this, we can calculate the probability of it happening any one year to be   0.1*\frac{1}{10} = 0.01

We can multiply this probability by the number of years.

Total number of years: 12 - 7 = 5

Probability the earthquake happens in these 5 years :

5 * 0.01 = 0.05

The difference between the prediction & the reality is 122-57 =65 votes.

Then over 122, the error was 65 votes &

the error ratio is 65/122 = 0.5327 ==>53.27% Or 53.3% (rounded)

The square root of -108
Elan Coil [88]
Because the number you provided is negative, we won't get a real answer instead a complex answer.

Now simplify the square root.

To simplify a square root, find two factors where one of the factors is a perfect square.

\sqrt{-108} = \sqrt{(-3)(36)} = \sqrt{-3}\sqrt{36} = 6\sqrt{(-1)(3)} = 6\sqrt{(-1)}\sqrt{3} = 6i\sqrt{3}
