Answer:
The probability that the red card came from the first stack is:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Stack Red Blue Total
First 6 5 11
Second 9 0 9
Total 15 5 20
The probability of selecting from the first stack = 50% since equal opportunity is given to the two sacks.
The probability of red card from the first stack = 6/15 = 0.4 = 40%.
b) The probability that the red card came from the first stack is given by the number of red cards in the first stack divided by the number or red cards in the two stacks. This is equal to 6/15 = 0.4 or 40%.
Answer:
22% reduction
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the percent decrease by dividing the difference in amounts by the original amount.
Find the difference:
115 - 90 = 25
Divide this by the original amount:
25/115
= 0.217
So, the percent decrease is 21.7%. Round this to the nearest whole percentage:
= 22
The percent reduction in fuel used was approx. 22%
1/4. and. 1/12. will do that.
