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

iDentify the equation of the circle that has its center at (-27, 120) and passes through the origin A. (x−27)2+(y+120)2=123 B. (

melomori [17]

The equation of a circle is given in the form $(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$ , where

(a, b) is the centre of the circle
r = radius

We have the centre of the circle (-27, 120)
We can work out the radius by modelling the radius as the hypotenuse of a triangle as shown in the diagram below

$r^2=27^2+120^2$
$r^2 = 15129$

The equation of the circle is

$[x-(-27)]^2+[y-120]^2=15129$
$[x+27]^2+[y-120]^2=15129$

Correct answer: option number 4

Deshawn has two bags of marbles. The first bag has 2 blue, 3 orange, and 5 red. The second bag has 4 pink, 10 blue, and 6 brown.

madreJ [45]

Answer: 0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bag-I has 2 blue,3 orange, 5 red

Bag-II has 4 Pink,10 blue, 6 brown

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-I

$\Rightarrow ^2C_1$

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-I

$\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1$

No of ways of choosing a blue marble from bag-II

$\Rightarrow ^{10}C_1$

Total no of ways of choosing a marble from bag-II

$\Rightarrow ^{20}C_1$

The probability that he will pull out a blue marble from each bag is

$\Rightarrow P=\text{Probability of pulling a blue marble from bag-I}\times \text{Probability of pulling a blue out bag-II}$

$\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^2C_1}{^{10}C_1}\times \dfrac{^{10}C_1}{^{20}C_1}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{2}{10}\times \dfrac{10}{20}=\dfrac{1}{10}$

Miya flips a coin and rolls a 6-sided number cube labled 1-6 and records tge outcome. About how many times is she likely to flip

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

6 sided cube = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Coin = (H, T)

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability of head (H) = P(H) = 1 /2 = 0.5

Probability of 3 = P(3) = 1 /6 = 0.166666

Probability of heads and 3 on a single try = p(H) * p(3) = 0.5 * 0.166666 = 0.083333

Hence, expected number of times this is likely to occur in 48 tries :

0.083333 * 48 = 4
