Answer:

17% probability that a randomly selected student smokes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

What is your estimate of the probability that a randomly selected student smokes?

This estiamte is the number of smoking students divided by the total number of students.

We have that:

There are 500 students.

85 smoke

So there is an 85/500 = 0.17 = 17% probability that a randomly selected student smokes.

Two sides of a triangle are 8cm and 12cm. Which of the following CANNOT be the measure of the third side,
blondinia [14]

Answer:

4 cannot be the measure of the third side. This is because of the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side (A+B>C, A+C>B, B+C>A) In this example, if side C were 4, side C (4) plus side A (8) would be 12. Since side B is 12, and 12 cannot be greater than 12, 4 would not work.
