Answer:

0.25 = 25% probability that it will rain today and ruin your picnic

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Cloudy skies

Event B: Rain

20% of all days start with clouds in the air

This means that P(A) = 0.2

50% of rainy days start with rain clouds in the air

50% of 10%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.5*0.1 = 0.05

What is the probability that it will rain today and ruin your picnic

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.05}{0.2} = 0.25

0.25 = 25% probability that it will rain today and ruin your picnic

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

x ≥ 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In the seventh grade, fifty students are trying for sports supplies to raise at least $2000. They already have $750.

Let us assume that each student has to raise $x more to meet the goal.

Then, a total of 50 students will raise $50x more.

Therefore, the inequality to solve for x will be  

750 + 50x ≥ 2000

⇒ 50x ≥ 1250

⇒ x ≥ 25 (Answer)

There are three 'x's on the 3/4 spot, so you know that there are three 3/4 inch buttons.
