Answer:  The required probability is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that in an upcoming race, the top 3 finishers will be recognized with the same award and Ryan is one of 12 people entered in the race.

We are to find the probability that Ryan will be one of the top 3 racers, if all racers are equal in skills.

Let S denote the sample space of the experiment for selecting a racer and A denote the event of selecting the top 3 finishers.

Then, according to the given information, we have

n(S) = 12   and    n(A) = 3.

So, the probability of event A is given by

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times100\%=25\%.

Thus, the required probability is 25%.

Multiple Choice: A prism and a pyramid have identical bases and heights. The volume of the prism is: Twice as large as the pyram
Natali [406]

Answer:

<h3>Three times as large as the pyramid's volume</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the volume of prism be Vp

Let the Volume of pyramid be Vy

Vp = Base Area * Height .... 1

Vy = Base * Height/3 ....2

From 2;

Vp = BH/3

BH = 3Vy

Since Vp = BH, then;

Vp = 3Vy

This shows that the volume of prism is three times as large as pyramids volume
