Answer:

Keisha can run faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Stephan can run

3 miles in 15.75 min.

so divide 15.75 by 3 min which would give you:

5.25 mi.

Now Keisha can run

5 miles in226 min

now divide 22.6 by 5 min which would give you

4.52 min

so that means Stephan can run faster then Keisha since 4.52<5.25

Keisha can run faster, since 4.52<5.25

Answer: Keisha can run faster than Stephan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's figure out how long it takes for them to run a mile.

$\frac{15.75}{3} =5.25\\\frac{3}{3} = 1$

It would take Stephan 5.25 minutes to run a mile

$\frac{22.6}{5} =4.52\\\\\frac{5}{5} =1$

It would take Keisha 4.52 minutes to run a mile

Since Keisha takes less time to run a mile she is faster.

the numbers 1,2,3,4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacet. find t

Tresset [83]

Consider such events:

A - slip with number 3 is chosen;

B - the sum of numbers is 4.

You have to count $Pr(A|B).$

Use formula for conditional probability:

$Pr(A|B)=\dfrac{Pr(A\cap B)}{Pr(B)}.$

1. The event $A\cap B$ consists in selecting two slips, first is 3 and second should be 1, because the sum is 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 1 and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event $A\cap B$ is

$Pr(A\cap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}.$

2. The event $B$ consists in selecting two slips with the sum 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 2 (1st slip 3 and 2nd slip 1 or 1st slip 1 and 2nd slip 3) and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event $B$ is
