The number 3 can be expressed as a fraction 3/1. If we multiply the fraction 1/6 by 3/1 we get:
1/6 x 3/1 = (1 x 3)/(6 x 1)
(1 x 3)/(6 x 1) = 3/6
Now just simplify the fraction:
3/6 = 1/2

NeTakaya

Answer: 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for binomial probability :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}, where P(x) is the probability of getting success in x trials , n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of getting success in each trial.

Given : The number of trails : n=7

The probability of success​ for each trial : p=0.5

Now, the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 will be :-

P(x

Hence, the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 = 0.5

Chandani purchased some parrots. 20% flew away and 5% died. Of the remaining, 45% were sold. Now 33 parrots remain. How many par
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

80 parrots were purchased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of parrots be k.

If 20% (or 20/100 = 1/5) flew away and 5% (5/100 = 1/20) died, the remaining parrots will be k – (¹/₅k + ¹/₂₀k) = k – ¼k = ¾k.

Of the remaining, 45% (or 45/100 = 9/20) were sold, which means the total number of sold parrots will be ¾k × ⁹/₂₀ = ²⁷/₈₀k.

The remaining parrots = ¾k – ²⁷/₈₀k = ³³/₈₀k = 33

k = 33 × ⁸⁰/₃₃ = 80 parrots were purchased.
