John has 4 dimes and 8 quarters in a box. Find the probability of drawing a dime.

1 answer:

8 0

The probability that an event occurs is the number of times it could occur compared to the total number of possible events, assuming the probability of each event occurring is equal.

John has $4+8=12$ coins total. If 4 of the coins are dimes, the probability that he draws a dime is $\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\approx 33\% \approx 0.33$ .

Which is the correct form of the quadratic formula? A) x = b ± b2 - 4ac a B) x = b ± b2 - 4ac 2a C) x = - b ± b2 - 4ac a D) x =

DochEvi [55]

That's pretty ill-formatted but the answer is D

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

has roots given by

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Bonus quadratic formulas:

The Shakespeare Quadratic Formulas ( $2b$ or $-2b$ ) are:

$x^2 - 2bx + c \textrm{ has zeros at }x=b \pm \sqrt{b^2-c}$

$ax^2 - 2bx + c \textrm{ has zeros at }x=\frac 1 a( b \pm \sqrt{b^2-ac})$

Cheetahs population will be more affected by genetic drift

<h3>What is genetic drift?</h3>

Genetic drift is the change in a population's frequency of an existing gene variant brought on by chance. Gene variations may totally vanish due to genetic drift, hence reducing genetic variation. Additionally, it may lead to the considerably greater frequency and even fixation of previously rare alleles.

<h3>What causes genetic drift?</h3>

Random drift is a result of recurrently small populations, drastic population reductions known as "bottlenecks," and founder events in which a new population is created from a small number of individuals.
