Problem 1
Answer: Closer to 1
Explanation:
There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.
================================================
Problem 2
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 3
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 4
Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely
Explanation:
We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%
Let S be the amount in a savings account.
Let m be the number of months.
General equation
S = 132 + 27m
Specific question
July is the 7th month of the year including both January and July.
S = 132 + 7*27
S = 132 + 189
S = 321
Reasonableness?
Good question. You could estimate an answer.
Start with 150 dollars and say that you add 25 a month.
7 * 25 = 175
S = 150 + 175 = 325 All of this was done in my head. Since the exact answer obtained using the formula is 321, I think that's pretty reasonable using my estimate is a guide.
Answer:
18.18
Step-by-step explanation:
total sum of angle of quadrilateral is 360
70+60+ 7x-4+4x-3=360
160-7 +11x =360
153 +11x =360
11x=360-153
x=207/11
x=18.18
Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) The expression that represent the cost of fencing the field is 
Part c) 
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The complete question in the attached figure</u>
Part a) we know that
The perimeter of the rectangular field (excluding the width of the gate) is equal to
we have
substitute the given values
Part b) we know that
To find out the cost of fencing the field (excluding the gate) , multiply the perimeter by the cost of $28 per yard
so
Part c) we have
h=5
substitute the value of h in the expression of the cost
