Answer:

The Answer is 0,133484. The same number as (60/80)^7 or 0.75^7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of an event occurring is <em>p</em>, then the probability of an event not occurring is <em>1-p</em>. Therefore if Lester plays one number, then the probability of that number not winning is 1-\frac{20}{80} or 1-0.25, which is \frac{60}{80} or 0.75

\\Two or more events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other. In Lester's game, the probability of a number winning or not winning does not affect the probability of the same number winning or not winning in the next game.

\\In order to find the probability of several events occurring in succession, we multiply the probabilities of the individual events.

\\Therefore if Lester plays one number seven times, the probability that all seven bets lose are (60/80)^7 or 0.75^7

The area of a rectangle is 525 sq cm. the ratio of the length to the width is 7:3. find the length and width.
nalin [4]
Suppose the length is 7x, the width is then 3x
7x*3x=525
21x²=525
x²=25
x=5
so the length is 7*5=35, and the width is 3*5=15

A price is decreased from £800 to £640. Calculate the percentage change.
Anni [7]
<span>There is a decrease of 20% from ÂŁ800 to ÂŁ640.

    A change from 800 to 640 represents a negative change (decrease) of -20% Using the formula :

   Percent change = [(800 - 640) / 800] x 100 = -20 % (decrease)

       800 is the old value and 640 is the new value. In this case we have a negative change (decrease) of -20 percent because the new value is smaller than the old value.</span>
