You and a friend are heading to Frankie's Fun Park (Columbia, SC). You have $100 for the day, and plan to spend your time riding
1 answer:
Answer:
--- (a)
---- (b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Per ride (r) = $8
Per baseballs (s) = $6
Total = $100
Required
Represent using an equation
If 1 ride is $8.
r rides would be 8r
If 1 baseball is $6
s baseballs would be 6r.
So, total is:
Solving (b):
Value of s when r = 14
Substitute 14 for r
Solve for 6s
Solve for s

Answer:
8/33 = 0.242
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 socks to begin with and one is taken;
The second is picked from the remaining 11 and will either match the first or not;
The probability of matching is 1/11 and 10/11 for not matching;
If the sock matches, no further sock is taken;
If the socks don't match, a 3rd sock is taken;
The 3rd sock is taken from the remaining 10, 1 of which will match with the first sock and another which will match the second;
Therefore, the probability of taking a matching sock on the third pick will by 2/10 or 1/5 and the probability it will not match either of the first two is 8/10 or 4/5;
Once again, if the sock matches either of those previously taken, no further sock is taken;
If the socks don't match, a 4th sock is taken;
Now, there are 9 socks remaining in the drawer;
Picking is repeated;
The process is logical;
The attached picture shows a tree diagram representing this information in an easily digestible way and makes it easy to work out the desired probability;
With tree, diagrams, you just multiply across until you get to your desired outcome;
In this case, we are finding the probability of picking 5 socks exactly;
Each process splitting represents the picking of a sock;
The probability will be:
10/11 × 8/10 × 6/9 × 4/8 = 8/33 = 0.242...
