7 0

Answer:

Odds for male= 1.538

Odds for female =  0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for odds, not a probability. A probability shows how much the chance for the event to happen, so it can be expressed as a percentage. Odds show how the event more likely to happen compared to the chance it did not happen. If an event has a 90% probability, the odds will be 90:10= 9

In this case, the odds of selecting a male will be:  

number of male : number of female= 20:13 = 1.538

The odds of selecting a female will be

number of female : number of male = 13/20 = 0.65

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Number of fish in 2006 = 845 fishes (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Number of fish in 2000 = 1,150 fishes

Decreasing rate = 5% per year

Find:

Number of fish in 2006

Computation:

Exponential decay function:

F = P[1-r]ⁿ

Number of year = 2006 - 2000

Number of year =  6 year

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[1-5%]⁶

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[1-0.05]⁶

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[0.95]⁶

Number of fish in 2006 = 1,150[0.735]

Number of fish in 2006 = 845.25

Number of fish in 2006 = 845 fishes (Approx.)

The area of a triangle is 150 cm^2. If the area of a triangle is given by the formula A=0/5b*h, write an equation which relates
taurus [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the area of a triangle is 150cm^2, the formula would look like:

150=0.5b*h

So, if we were to solve for the base in terms of h, we'd simply divide both sides by 0.5b getting:

(150)/(0.5b)=h

which simplifies to

h=300b
