What is the probability that a randomly selected candle is orange scented?

Mathematics

kherson [118]3 years ago
8 0

Since the factory produces equal numbers of 4 types of candles, we can find the number of candles it produces of any given type:

\dfrac{8000 \,\textrm{candles}}{4 \,\textrm{types}} = 2000 \,\dfrac{\textrm{candles}}{\textrm{type}}


We have found that the factory produces 2000 candles of each type. Since the probability of something happening is the number of favored outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes, we can find the probability of an orange scented candle being chosen are:

P(\textrm{orange scented}) = \dfrac{2000}{8000} = \boxed{\dfrac{1}{4}}


The answer is 1/4.

What is the estimated sum of 3 16/17 plus 6 1/5?<br> The estimated sum is
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The estimated sum is ≈10

Step-by-step explanation:

This depends on how your professor wants you to estimate sums. Logically, though, a value of nearly 4 and a value of just over 6 add to about 10. The exact answer would be a bit over 10, at ≈10.14117
