Answer:

0.0158 = 1.58% probability that all of them are under 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of independent events:

If three events, A, B and C are independent, the probability of all happening is the multiplication of the probabilities of each happening, that is:

P(A \cap B \cap C) = P(A)P(B)P(C)

The percentage of people under the age of 18 was 23.5% in New York City, 25.8% in Chicago, and 26% in Los Angeles.

This means that P(A) = 0.235, P(B) = 0.258, P(C) = 0.26

If one person is selected from each city, what is the probability that all of them are under 18?

Since the three people are independent:

P(A \cap B \cap C) = 0.235*0.258*0.26 = 0.0158

0.0158 = 1.58% probability that all of them are under 18.

A group of 485 people take a canoe trip. They fill up all avalible canoes that each hold 3 people with 273 people. The rest of t
Jobisdone [24]
Answer:
3c=273
c=91
2c= 212
C= 106
c= 91+ 106= 197
so they will need 197 canoes total

Why:
So first you have to determine a set variable to represent the number of canoes, I chose C. Then you make an equation to represent the number of canoes 273 people will use if they group into 3's, from this I got 3c=273. Solve for C and get 91.
The remainder of the group which is 485-273= 212 will use canoes in groups of 2's. To represent this, 2c=212. Solve for C and get 106. Combine 106 and 91 to get the total number of canoes.

A square has an area of 121 square centimetres.<br> What is its perimeter?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

  44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is the square of the side length. This means the side length is the square root of the area.

  s = √A = √(121 cm²) = 11 cm

The perimeter of a square is the sum of its side lengths. There are 4 equal-length sides, so the perimeter is 4 times the length of one side:

  P = 4s = 4(11 cm)

  P = 44 cm

The perimeter of the square is 44 cm.
