Answer:

<em>P=37.5%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Frequentist Probability</u>

The probability of an outcome is defined as the frequency of the number of times the outcome occurs relative to the number of times that it could have occurred.

The equation to calculate the probability is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{f}{n}

Where f is the number of favorable cases and n is the total cases.

John has in a cup of his desk:

6 pencils

3 blue+5 black+2 red pens=10 pens

Picking one of the utensils from the cup can be done in 16 different ways. That is the total number of cases n=16

The outcome of taking a pencil can be done in 6 ways. That is the number of favorable cases. f=6.

The probability is:

\displaystyle P=\frac{6}{16}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle P=\frac{3}{8}

Or expressed as a percentage:

P=3/8*100%

P=37.5%

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement. 17.2 is 17.2 units to the ____ of zero on a number line. T
Fudgin [204]
Hello!

The number line progresses from negative infinity (extreme left) to positive infinity (extreme right). Beginning at zero, the numbers increase in value as they move to the right and decrease in value as they move to the left.

With this knowledge, we can look at the number 17.2 (a positive number) and conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the right of zero on the number line.

The opposite of 17.2 would be (-17.2). Again, looking at this number (a negative number), we can conclude that it is placed 17.2 units to the left of zero on the number line.

I hope this helps!

What Val are restricted from the domain of
djverab [1.8K]

<u>Given</u>:

The given expression is \frac{\left(4 x^{2}-4 x+1\right)}{(2 x-1)^{2}}

We need to determine the values for which the domain is restricted.

<u>Restricted values:</u>

Let us determine the values restricted from the domain.

To determine the restricted values from the domain, let us set the denominator the function not equal to zero.

Thus, we have;

(2x-1)^2\neq 0

Taking square root on both sides, we get;

2x-1\neq 0

     2x\neq 1

      x\neq \frac{1}{2}

Thus, the restricted value from the domain is x\neq \frac{1}{2}

Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
