Calculate the probability that both bids are successful

Answer:

The probability that both contracs are successful is 0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

E1 = the event that the bid on the first contract is successful

E2 = the event that the bid on the second contract is successful

P(E1) = 0.3

P(E2) = 0.7

Let P(A) represent the event that both contracts are successful

P(A) = P(E1 and E2)

Since both events are independent. P(A) becomes

P(A) = = P(E1 * P(E2)

By substituton

P(A) = 0.3 * 0.7

P(A) = 0.21

Hence the probability that both contracs are successful is 0.21

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

1 inch : 4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Size of the Mural is 42 feet long and 16 feet.

The original painting is 10½ inches long and 4 inches wide.

On the length

Length of Painting: Length of Mural

10½ inches: 42 feet

1 inch : 42/10½ feet

1 inch : 4 feet

On the Width

Width of Painting: Width of Mural

4 inch: 16 feet

1 inch : 16/4 feet

1 inch : 4 feet

The Scale of the Original Painting to the Mural is therefore:

1 inch : 4 feet

Pls help me with this ​
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So you start with 5.7 miles which is the first ride and the long ride is 5 2/3 times longer so you multiply 5.7 by 5 2/3. 5.7 is equivalent to 5 7/10 so you multiply 5 7/10 by 5 2/3. If we get common denominators we will end up with 5 21/30 and 5 20/30 then you multiply. You will get 32.3: 32.3 is equivalent to 32 and 3/10. Then you add that to 5 and 7/10. You will get 38.

Answer: 38

Which expression is equivalent to 7(p+2n)+n?
Illusion [34]
We actually need the choices but oh well, we can simpify and hopefuly it is one of the choices

remember the distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
so

7(p+2n)+n
distribute first
7(p)+7(2n)+n
7p+14n+n
7p+15n is an equivilent expression
