Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2:3, then

  • there are 2x boys;
  • there are 3x girls.

If there are 18 girls in the class, then

3x=18\\ \\x=6

Thus, there are

  • 2\cdot 6=12 boys;
  • 3\cdot 6=18 girls;
  • 12+18=30 students in total.

The probability of a boy being in the class is

P=\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The octopus chose the rectangles 68% of the time. From this observation you can tell that the octopus has learned there is food under the rectangular shape. Its cognitive abilities are less than a human's, but they are able to discern a rectangle from a circle with success.

Good luck ^^
