20 000 is as much as 20 * 1 000, so we can write it as: 20 * 10^3
3 400 000 is as much as 34 * 100 000, so we can write it as: 34 * 10^5
The sum in scientific notation would look like this:
20 * 10^3 + 34 * 10^5
I hope that's what you meant :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Days with t are: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
In the period of time given there are 20 T days (20 x 3 = 60 oranges)
In the period of time given there are ? no T days (27 x 2 = 54 oranges)
60 + 54 = 114 Oranges eaten over the school holidays
This is a case of joint probability: you want to know what the odds are of this event AND that event occurring. For a joint probability, the formula is usually given as:
P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)
where P(A) is the probability of event A happening, P(B) is the probability of event B happening, and P(A and B) is the probability of both happening.
For this problem, let's say that event A is the probability that the spinner stops at the green color. Since the spinner has 3 colors and they have equal area (sector) occupied in the circle, each color has the same chance, 1/3 chance of being picked. Thus, there's a 1/3 chance of the spinner stopping at the green color so P(A)=1/3.
Event B is the probability of Jordan picking up the yellow card. There are six possible colors to pick and since Jordan picked up the card without peeking, each color has an equal chance to be picked. Thus, there's a 1/6 chance that the yellow card will be selected so P(B)=1/6.
Using the formula, we can then calculate P(A and B), the probability that the spinner stops at green and a yellow card is selected:
P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)=1/3*1/6=1/18
