What is the probability of choosing a

Mathematics
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Probability of choosing a penny at random is 1/5 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

For many probabilities like this one, you have to add the total of materials or items together, even if they are different colors, shape, coin type, etc.

you have 12 pennies, 19 nickles, 14 dimes, and 15 quarters. This adds up to a total of 60 coins. Twelve of those are pennies.

You have twelve possible pennies to choose at random from a total of 60 in a bag.

So 12/60/ This simplifies to a probability of 1/5. If you divide 1 by 5 than it would be 0.2

The probability of choosing a penny from a bag of coins is 1/5, or 0.2.

Hope this helps

    --------

9999=1008+(n-1)9

9999-1008=(n-1)9

n-1=8991/9=999

n=999+1=1000

b.

first digit=1000

last digit=9999-1=9998

9999=1000+(n-1)1

9999-1000=n-1

n=8999+1=9000

numbers divisible by 3=3000

first number=1002

last number=9999

9999=1002+(n-1)3

(n-1)3=9999-1002=8997

n-1=2999

n=2999+1=3000

numbers not divisible by 3=9000-3000=6000

e.

numbers divisible by 5=1800

first number=1000

last number=9995

9995=1000+(n-1)5

(n-1)5=9995-1000=8995
