You have the numbers 1-24 written on slips of paper. If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will not

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 is: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two methods to solve the question.

We can find the probability of numbers not divisible by 3
We can find the probability of numbers divisible by 3 and then find the complement of it

We will use the second method:

Given:

There are 24 slips

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24}

n(S) = 24

Let A be the event that the slip number is divisible by 3

Then

A = {3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24}

n(A) = 8

The probability of number divisible by 3 is:

$P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{8}{24}\\=\frac{1}{3}$

The sum of the probability of an event's occurrence and non-occurrence is 1. So the probability of numbers divisible by 3 will be subtracted from 1 to find the probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3.

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 will be:

$=1-\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{3-1}{3}\\=\frac{2}{3}$

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 is: 2/3

Number 2 i need help

daser333 [38]

The table you drew under the question is exactly the right way to start.

-- Make a second column, next to the 6 and 7. This column will be
the actual number of each thing.

-- You know that there are 42 marbles, so write '42' in the box
next to the 6, on the 'Marbles' line.
Now you need to figure out what to write in the 'Stones' line, next to the 7.

-- Look at the 'Marbles' line. There's a 6 and then a 42.
Ask yourself: " Self ! What does the 6 have to be multiplied with to get 42 ?"

-- Whatever the answer is, drop down to the 'Stones' line,
and multiply the 7 by the same number.
The product is the total number of stones, and it goes in the box.
.

.
(The mystery number is 7. There are 49 stones.)

A road sign is in the shape of a regular heptagon. What is the measure of each angle on the sign? Round to the nearest tenth.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer 
A) 〖128.6〗^o

Explanation 
The question requires us to find the interior angle of a regular heptagon.
To do this first calculate the exterior angle of that polygon.
The sum of exterior angles is 360o. A heptagon has 7 sides.
So, one exterior angle = 〖360〗^o/7=〖51.4〗^o
interior angle+exterior angle=〖180〗^o
exterior=180-51.4=〖128.6〗^o
