Answer: 0.5143

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of students who are over 21 years old = 30% = 0.3

Probability of students who are under 21 years old = 100% - 30% = 70% = 0.7

Probability of drinking alcohol for over 21 = 80% = 0.8

Probability of not drinking alcohol for over 21 = 100%- 80% = 20% = 0.2

Let the probability of the students who are not over 21, that drink alcohol be p.

Total probability of a college student drinking alcohol = (0.3 × 0.8) + (0.7 × p)

0.6 = (0.3 × 0.8) + (0.7 × p)

0.6 = 0.24 + 0.7p

0.7p = 0.6 - 0.24

0.7p = 0.36

p = 0.36/0.7

p = 0.5143

The probability of the students who are not over 21, that drink alcohol is 0.5143.

 Therefore, the complete text is: "</span>To obtain the number of centimeters from a distance measured in meters, move the decimal point Two places left ".
<span> 
 The explanation is:
 
 1 meter has 100 centimeters,  then, if you have a distance of 45.55 centimeters and you want to know this value in meters, you need to divide it by 100 or, in others words, you need to </span>move the decimal point two places left:
<span> 
 =(45.55 centimeters)(1 meter/100 centimeters)
 =(45.55x1)/100

Jason purchased 12 shirts for the members of a school club. Each shirt cost $5.50. Jason
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

52 dollars and 47 cents, or 52.47

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 12 and 5.50, then you should get 66.00. Then, take the 25% discount, and divide it by a hundred, you should get 0.25, now multiply 0.25 and 66.00. You should get 16.50, thats your discount, so subtract 16.50 from 66.00, you should get 49.50. Now for the sales tax, divide 6.0 by 100, you should get 0.06. Now multiply 0.06 and 49.50, you should get 2.97, thats your tax, add it to 49.50, and you get 52.47 so BOOM, thats your answer, your welcome

A field hockey team wins 80% of its games. Based on your simulation, what is the experimental probability of the team winning it
ElenaW [278]
The probability that they will win their next three games is 51.2%.

The chance that they win is 80%. To find the probability that they win 3 games in a row, we just have to multiply 80% by itself 3 times.

0.8 x 0.8 x 0.8 = 0.512 = 51.2%
