ANYONE GOOD AT MATH NEED HELP

Answer:

*I just learned that in probability if a question has 'and' it means you multiply and if it has 'or' it means you add*

1a) 1/6

There are two numbers greater than four (5 and 6). There are 6 possible numbers you can get, so the fraction would be 2/6, or simplified would be <u>1/3</u>. There are two options you can get when flipping a coin, so the chance of getting a head is <u>1/2</u>. This is an 'and' problem so multiply 1/3•1/2 and you get 1/6.

1b) 1/4

There are 3 even numbers (2, 4, and 6), so the probability would be 3/6 or simplified to <u>1/2</u>. The chance of landing on a tail is also <u>1/2</u>, as there are two possible options. This is an 'and' problem so multiply 1/2•1/2 and you get 1/4.

2) 1/8

Write out your possible results: HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT.

3a) 1/8

There are 4 shirt options to choose from. The chance of picking blue is <u>1/4</u>. There are 2 pant options. The chance of picking black is <u>1/2</u>. This is an 'and' problem, so multiply 1/4•1/2 and you get 1/8.

3b) 1/4

There are 4 shirt options to choose from. This is an 'or' problem because he can choose an orange shirt OR a red shirt. The probability of picking an orange shirt is 1/4 and the probability of picking a red shirt is 1/4. 'Or' means you use addition so add 1/4+1/4 and you get 2/4 or simplified is <u>1/2</u>. There are 2 pant options to choose from, so the probability of choosing brown pants is 1/2. Now, this is an 'and' problem, so multiply 1/2•1/2 and you get 1/4.

Marizza181 [45]
Soccer would take I since that is half of the graph.
Football would take IV since that is 1/4
Baseball looks like it will take II
So that means basketball would take III
