Answer:
(a) 1/2
(b) 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes
(a) Number of possible outcomes = 5 questions, number of total outcomes = 10 questions
Probability (I answer all 5 problems correctly) = 5/10 = 1/2
(b) Probability (I answer at least 4 of the problems correctly) means I either answer 4 of the problems or all 5 problems correctly = 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10
The probability is 56/100 or 56%. Because they only got 44% of their previous throws, the probability that they'll miss the next one is 56%.
You want to use the addition property, so you need to ADD each term. Just change the minuses to pluses, making sure you keep the negative with the number
5x-8x-7y+y =
5x + -8x + -7y +y
The equation for a equilateral triangle is the side squared times root 3 divided by 4
So probobillity is total sucsesses over total possible or TS/TP so
11/15 so the probobility is 11/15 or 0.73
