Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the probability of selecting a blue marble from a bag without looking.

Start with the ratio for the probability

of an event which is shown below.

P(event) = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Since there are 3 blue marbles in a bag, the number of favorable outcomes is 3 and since there are 12 marbles in all and it's equally likely that we will choose any of the marbles, the total number of outcomes is 12 so we have 3/12.

Therefore, the probability of choosing a blue marble is 3/12.

However, notice that 3/12 can be reduced to 1/3.

So the final answer for the probability of choosing a blue marble is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Within each coordinate it represents (x,y)

The x moves along the horizontal line and the Y moves along the vertical line.

For example: For (-5,5) move to the left 5 times, then move up 5 times.

A negative X goes to the left and a negative Y goes down.

A positive X moves to the right and a positive Y moves up.

The number of goals scored by a soccer team varies directly as the number of shots on goal. If the Lakeside Bears scored 4 goals

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of goals scored

y ---> the number of shots on goal

we know that

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{4}{48}$ ----> equation A

For x=3

substitute the value of x and solve for y

$\frac{3}{y}=\frac{4}{48}$

$y=\frac{48}{4}(3)$

$y=36$

therefore

The number of additional shots on goal to score 3 more goals is 36
