The odds against Ishaq getting hired for a job are 17:18. Determine the probability

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The odds against Ishaq getting hired are 17:18

This means that are 17 scenarios where Ishaq does not get hired, out of 18 total scenarios.

This means that the left scenario is when Ishaq gets hired, then the odds of Ishaq getting hired is equal to 1:18.

a) We want to find the probability that Ishaq gets hired.

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of scenarios where Ishaq gets hired (1) and the total number of scenarios (18).

Then this probability is

P = 1/18 = 0.056

b) We want to find the probability where Ishaq does not get hired, we can use the same reasoning as above, this time we will take the quotient between the number of scenarios where Ishaq does not get hired (17) and the total number of scenarios (18).

P = 17/18 = 0.944

Compare 6.23 * 10^14 and 8.912 * 10^12
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

623,000,000,000,000 > 8,912,000,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

8.912·10^12

The exponent is 12, making it 10 to the power of 12. As the exponent is positive, the solution is a number greater than the origin or base number. To find our answer, we move the decimal to the right 12 time(s):

8.912 -> 8,912,000,000,000

6.23·10^14

The exponent is 14, making it 10 to the power of 14. As the exponent is positive, the solution is a number greater than the origin or base number. To find our answer, we move the decimal to the right 14 time(s):

6.23 -> 623,000,000,000,000

These box plots show the basketball scores for two teams.
Arisa [49]

The most appropriate statement is the interquartile range for the Wolverines, 30 is less than the IQR for the panthers, 40.

<h3>What is the correct statement?</h3>

The box plot is used to show the distribution of data. The box plot can be used to determine the range, interquartile range and median of the data set.

The range is the difference between the two ends of the whiskers.

Range for the Wolverines = 96 - 35 = 61

Range for the Panthers = 107 - 33 = 74

The interquartile range is the difference between the first and third lines on the box

IQR for the Wolverines = 85 - 55 = 30

Range for the Panthers = 90 - 50 = 40

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

Step-by-step explanation:

                             Price without Discount Card   Price with Discount Card

Ticket (12 & Under)        $10                                             $8

Adult's Ticket                  $15                                           $12

Let x be the number of visits

Price without discount card for 2 adults and 1 child ticket

Price without discount for x visits = x(15 \times 2+ 10)=40x

Price with discount for x visits =57+ x(12 \times 2+ 8)=57+32x

Now to find For what number of visits will the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

57+32x< 40x

57<8x

7.1<x

So, 8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card
