Answer: likely


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of any event lies between 0 and 1.

If probability of occurring event is 0 then the event is impossible.

If probability of occurring any event is 1 then the event certain.

If probability of occurring any event lies between 0.5 or \frac{1}{2} and 1 then the event is said to be likely.

If probability of occurring any event lies between 0 and 0.5 or \frac{1}{2} then the event is said to be unlikely.

Given, The probability of choosing a rotten apple from the bag of apples is 4/5.

Since 4/5 is between 0.5 or \frac{1}{2} and 1 then the event is said to be likely.

The manager of a grocery store wants to determine the average amount of money spent at his store as it compares to the average d
dexar [7]

Given

Expenditures at Manager's Store; expenditures at Competitor's Store.

Find

a) average spent at each store

b) which store is better represented by the mean value

c) an explanation for the answer in ≥ 2 sentences

Solution

a) The sum of expenditures divided by the number of expenditures (15) is ...

... average for Manager's Store: $37.60

... average for Competitor's Store: $48.53

b) The expenditures at Manager's Store are well-represented by the mean (average).

c) The range of expenditures at Competitor's Store is significantly higher than at Manager's store, so a single number such as mean or median does not represent the data well. The expenditures at Manager's store are more compactly grouped around the mean and median, which are closer together, so the mean is a good representation of Manager's Store expenditures overall.

Write the equation for a line that has an initial value of 3 and 3/4 as it’s rate of change
frutty [35]

the slope goes by several names

• average rate of change

• rate of change

• deltaY over deltaX

• Δy over Δx

• rise over run

• gradient

• constant of proportionality

however, is the same cat wearing different costumes.

initial value of 3, namely when x = 0, y = 3, so we have the point (0 , 3) and it has a rate or slope of 3/4.

(\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{3}{4} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{4}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{0})\implies y=\cfrac{3}{4}x+3

Simplify:- ~~~~~~~
Alchen [17]

\sf \dashrightarrow \:  -  \frac{2}{5}  - ( -  \frac{3}{10} ) - ( -  \frac{4}{7} )

When there is a - in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression to +

\sf \dashrightarrow \:  -  \frac{2}{5}    + \frac{3}{10}  +  \frac{4}{7}

Calculate the LCM of denominators

\sf\frac{ - 28 + 21 + 40}{70}

Calculate the difference

\bf \underline{ \underline \frac{33}{70} }
