Part 1:
3+2+1 = 6 total units
There is only 1 history book.
1/6 total.
Part 2:
6-1 (we've lost the history book) = 5 total units
3 novels. = 3/5
Part 3:
1/6 * 3/5 = 3/30 or 1/10
Answer: The filled out table is shown below in the attached image
===========================================================
Explanation:
The letters A through J are one way to fill out the table. Though there are other possible orders.
Start at letter A, which is from the fact we have 40 people total
Then move to letter B. This is the total number who like pasta (26)
We have C = A-B = 40-26 = 14 people who don't like pasta
--------------
Now move to cell D. This is the total who don't like netball, which is 21 people. There are E = A-D = 40-21 = 19 people who do like netball.
F = 4 is the number of people who don't like either thing (netball or pasta). So G = D-F = 21-4 = 17 people like pasta but don't like netball.
Of those people who like netball (E = 19), we have 9 who also like pasta. This is in cell H in the upper left corner. This means J = E-H = 19-9 = 10 people like netball but don't like pasta.
----------------
So we have these values
- A = 40
- B = 26
- C = 14
- D = 21
- E = 19
- F = 4
- G = 17
- H = 9
- J = 10
There are two days of the week that start with S. That's already 2/7. But, we add on Monday and that gives us 3/7
The probability of the day being chosen as Monday or Saturday or Sunday is 3/7.
When converting from meters to centimeters, you have to multiply the number by 100 because there are 100 centimeters per meter.
8.6m x 100= 860cm
