Answer 1

Answer:

(a)1 out of 4.

(b)27%

(c)0.73 or 73%

Step-by-step explanation:

Tommy’s probability of winning is given as 0.27.

(a)Ratio Form

$0.27=\frac{27}{100} =27:100\\ Divide both sides of 27:100 by 27\\This gives:\approx 1:4$

Therefore, the probability that Tommy will win is 1 out of 4.

(b)Exact Percent Value

Multiply the probability by 100 to obtain the exact percent value.

0.27 X 100=27%

(c)Probability that Tommy will not win.

Probability that Tommy will win+Probability that Tommy will not win=1

0.27+Probability that Tommy will not win=1

Probability that Tommy will not win=1-0.27

Probability that Tommy will not win=0.73
