Answer:

1/5 or 20% since there are five people it could potentially be and Evelyn is one of them.

<h3>Answer is   1:4</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

When we talk about "odds in favor", we will use a colon to separate two whole numbers. The first number represents the number of ways for Evelyn to be chosen treasurer (just one way) and the second number represents all the ways she doesn't get chosen (the four other people)

Put another way, writing "odds in favor are 1:4" basically means "there's 1 way to get Evelyn elected and 4 ways for her to not get elected"

Instead of writing 1:4 you could write "1 to 4"

-----------

Side note: Contrast this with "odds against" and the ratio would flip from 1:4 to 4:1. Same idea, but the number of failures is listed first because we're focusing on the "against" (instead of "favor") portion. We read "4:1" as "4 to 1".

Evaluate 13-0.5w+6x when w=10 and x=1/2
Rus_ich [418]
Ok so first you need to put w and x in the equation —-> 13-0.5(10)+6(1/2) and now you just solve -0.5 times 10 is -5 so 13-(-5)+6(1/2) now multiply 6 times 1/2 which is 3 so now we have 13-(-5)+3= 21

How is jimthompson so smart?
Charra [1.4K]
The statement is valid. To set up a Euler diagram, follow these steps

Step 1) Draw a large circle and label it circle A

Step 2) Inside this large circle, draw a smaller circle and label it circle B

Circle A will represent the set of all obtuse angles (any angles that are between 90 and 180 degrees). Circle B represents only one item: the angle value of 150 degrees. All of circle B is inside circle A because 150 degrees is between 90 and 180; therefore, 150 is obtuse. This is simply the definition of what "obtuse" means. 

So if you threw a dart and it landed in circle B, then you know for sure it landed in circle A as well. This is effectively saying "if you get a 150 degree angle, then you know its obtuse"

This is a visual way to back up the conditional statements you used earlier and help add more evidence that the statement "A 150 degree angle is an obtuse angle" is a valid statement.
