Answer:

B and F

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple golden rule that we need to know here is

<em><u>"The probability of any event is always between 0 and 1 inclusive"</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

If an event has a probability of p(x), we can say:

0 \leq p(x) \leq 1

Also, probability is ALWAYS POSITIVE.

Thus,

A) OK because 33.3% is 0.333, which is between 0 and 1

B) NOT OK, because probability isn't negative

C) 0.0002 is in between 0 and 1, so possible

D) 0 probability means it can't happen, so that's okay as well

E) this is a fraction with numerator less than denominator, which means its between 0 and 1, so OK

F) this fraction's numerator is greater than denominator, so it's greater than 1. Probability can't be greater than 1, so NOT OK

Out of these B and F cannot represent the probability of an event

The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the year 2005 was $70,000. It increased by the same factor each year
dezoksy [38]
We can make use of the general formula for the geometric series to generate the function representing the average annual salary.
an = a0(r)^(n-1)

Or
f(x) = a0(r)^(x - 1)

Plugging in the given values for the year 2005 and 2006 to ge the value of r.
82000 = 70000 (r)^(1-1)
r = 1.1714

Therefore, the function is:
f(x) = 70,000 (1.1714)^(x-1)

julsineya [31]

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Bracelets + 3 rings = $26

2 rings = $12

3 rings = x

To get the cost of 1 ring you divide 12 by 2 and the answer you get is 6.

The total cost of the 3 rings is $18( $6*3)

Then you subtract the cost of both 2 bracelets and 3 rings($26) from the cost of 3 rings($18). The answer is $8. ( THIS IS THE COST OF 2 BRACELETS)

<u>1 BRACELET= $4( $8/2)</u>
