You have 11/18 probability when choosing one container and when choosing three containers out of 2 choices we will first denote F and C respectively for the choice of states, and the possible outcomes are FFF, FFC, FCC, and CCC so possibility for at least one from Florida is 3/4. 11/18*3/4 will be your answer.

5/6-1/8 Solve by finding a common denominator<br><br> A)30/48<br> B)34/48<br> C)38/48<br> D)42/48
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

  B)  34/48

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.

__

The difference is ...

  \dfrac{5}{6}-\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{6}\cdot\dfrac{8}{8}-\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{6}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{40-6}{48}=\boxed{\dfrac{34}{48}}

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.

  5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result

__

Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.

Many has 48 feet of wood he wants to use all of it to create a border around a garden. The equation 2l+2w=48 can be used to find
lord [1]
2L + 2W = 48 

L= 15 feet

substitute the given value to the formula provided.

2(15) + 2W = 48

multiply 2 by 15

30 + 2W = 48

use the subtraction property of equality to cancel the value 30 on the left side. 

30 - 30 + 2W = 48 - 30

cancel 30 on the left side leaving 2W while subtract 30 from 48.

2W = 18

divide both sides to get the value of the width.

2W/2 = 18/2

W = 9ft     this is the final answer.

1. A gambler makes 100 column bets at roulette. The chance of winning on any one play is 12/38. The gambler can either win $ 5 o
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

a) Expected amount of the gambler's win = $0.209

b) SD = 2.26

c)P (X >1) = P(z >0.35) = 0.36317

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of winning, p = 12/38 =6/19

Probability of losing, q = 1 -p = 1-6/19

q = 13/19

Win amount = $5

Loss amount = $2

a) Expected total amount of win = ((6/19)*5) - ((13/19)*2)

Expected total amount of win = 1.579 - 1.369

Expected amount of win, E(X) = $0.209

b) Standard Deviation for the total amount of the gambler's win

SD = \sqrt{E(X^{2}) - (E(X))^{2} }

E(X²) = (6/19)*5²  -  (13/19)*2²

E(X²) = 5.158

SD = \sqrt{5.158 - 0.209^2}

SD = 2.26

c)  probability that, in total, the gambler wins at least $1.

P(X >1)

z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

μ = E(x) = 0.209

z = (1-0.209)/2.26

z = 0.35

P( X >1) = P(z >0.35)

P(z >0.35) = 1 - P(z <0.35)

P(z >0.35) = 1 - 0.63683

P(z >0.35) = 0.36317
