Question:
In a neighbourhood pet show, each of the animals entered is equally likely to win. if there are 7 dogs, 6 cats, 3 birds, and 2 gerbils entered, what is the probability that a bird will win the top prize?
Answer:
Probability that a bird will win the top prize is 0.167
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The number of dogs = 7
The number of cats = 6
The number of birds = 3
The number of gerbils = 2
To Find:
Probability that a bird will win the top prize = ?
Solution:
Let us first find the total number of pets .
The Total number of pets = 7 + 6 + 3 + 2 = 18
Now the probability of a bird will win the top prize is
=> 
=>
=> 
=>0.167
Answer:
answer a
Step-by-step explanation:
< 
- Let's isolate
on one side of the equation. Ignore the inequality for now. We'll deal with that later.

- Now, I'm going to bring back the inequality or < symbol. I only removed it when simplifying and isolating
, but if this confuses you, just do your math and keep the inequality there.
< 
- On a number line, this would include every number <em>less than </em>
, due to the < (less than) symbol. This disqualifies answers b and d because they are showing every number <em>greater than </em>
. But, how do we decide between answers a and c? - If a line has point at its beginning,
, then that means that every number <em>less than or equal to</em> [ ≤ ] 6 is being shown, but our equation just says <em>less than </em>[ < ] 6, so answer a is our correct answer.
The answer is 81.
Hope this helps.
