Rasek [7]

Answer:

a.

Probability of Diet Cola = 19/28

Probability of Lemonade = 4/28

Probability of Root Beer = 5/28

b. Theoretical Probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Diet Cola = 19

Lemonade = 4

Root Beer = 5

Required

Probability the her next drink will be

- Diet Cola

- Lemonade

- Root beer

To calculate the probability of each of the above, first we need to calculate the total number of drinks she's had

Total = Diet Cola + Lemonade + Root Beer

Total = 19 + 4 + 5

Total = 28

The probability that her next drink can be any of the above can then be calculated.

This is calculated by dividing each outcome by the total; as follows;

Probability of Diet Cola = 19/28

Probability of Lemonade = 4/28

Probability of Root Beer = 5/28

This type of probability is referred to as theoretical probability because it makes predictions base on previous occurrence of events.

What is 5.316 - 1.942 (show ur work)

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

3.374

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathrm{Write\:the\:numbers\:one\:under\:the\:other,\:line\:up\:the\:decimal\:points.}$

$\mathrm{Add\:trailing\:zeroes\:so\:the\:numbers\:have\:the\:same\:length.}$

$\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&6\\ -&1&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:each\:column\:of\:digits,\:starting\:from\:the\:right\:and\:working\:left}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:6-2=4$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&1&\textbf{6}\\ -&1&.&9&4&\textbf{2}\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{4}\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&3&\textbf{1}&6\\ -&1&.&9&\textbf{4}&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{The\:bottom\:number\:is\:larger\:than\:the\:upper\:number.\:\:Try\:to\:'borrow'\:a\:digit\:from\:the\:left.}$

$\mathrm{The\:top\:digit\:is\:not\:bigger\:than\:the\:bottom\:one.\:\:Try\:to\:'borrow'\:a\:digit\:from\:the\:left.}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&5&.&\textbf{3}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Borrow\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:}5\mathrm{.\:\:The\:remainder\:is\:}4$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\textbf{4}&\:\:&10&\:\:&\:\:\\ \:\:&\textbf{\linethrough{5}}&.&3&1&6\\ -&\textbf{1}&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Add\:}1\mathrm{\:ten\:to\:}3:\quad \:10+3=13$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\:\:&\textbf{13}&\:\:&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&.&\textbf{\linethrough{3}}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Borrow\:}1\mathrm{\:from\:}13\mathrm{.\:\:The\:remainder\:is\:}12$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\:\:&\textbf{12}&10&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&.&\textbf{\linethrough{13}}&1&6\\ -&1&.&\textbf{9}&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&\:\:&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Add\:}1\mathrm{\:ten\:to\:}1:\quad \:10+1=11$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\:\:&12&\textbf{11}&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&.&\linethrough{13}&\textbf{\linethrough{1}}&6\\ -&1&.&9&\textbf{4}&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{\:\:}&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:11-4=7$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\:\:&12&\textbf{11}&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&.&\linethrough{13}&\textbf{\linethrough{1}}&6\\ -&1&.&9&\textbf{4}&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{7}&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{Place\:the\:decimal\:point\:in\:the\:answer\:directly\:below\:the\:decimal\:points\:in\:the\:terms}$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&4&\textbf{\:\:}&12&11&\:\:\\ \:\:&\linethrough{5}&\textbf{.}&\linethrough{13}&\linethrough{1}&6\\ -&1&\textbf{.}&9&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\:\:&\textbf{.}&3&7&4\end{matrix}}$

$\mathrm{In\:the\:bolded\:column,\:subtract\:the\:second\:digit\:from\:the\:first}:\quad \:4-1=3$

$\frac{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\textbf{4}&\:\:&12&11&\:\:\\ \:\:&\textbf{\linethrough{5}}&.&\linethrough{13}&\linethrough{1}&6\\ -&\textbf{1}&.&9&4&2\end{matrix}}{\begin{matrix}\:\:&\textbf{3}&.&3&7&4\end{matrix}}$

$=3.374$

Hence the correct answer is 3.374
