I hope you mean 1/5 when you say 1 5. If that's what you mean, then both, Joshua and Melanie, are correct because, both of their equations are the same.
Joshua's - <span>8 ÷ 1/5 = 40 (Since we can divide a number by fraction, we use this rule: keep, change flip. When we use that Joshua's equation turns into 8 * 5/1 = 8*5 = 40, same as Melanie's.)</span>
Answer: 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Setting up an equation to solve,
25 as the denominator representing the total number of baseball games played to represent the "whole."
10 as the numerator representing the number of games the baseball games won to represent the "part" you want to calculate as a percentage.
The equation, looking like this,
10/25 = ___
after calculating the equation you get 2/5 as reduced, evaluating that in terms of percentage you get 40% as 5 represents 100% (the whole) and 2 representing 40% (the number of baseball games won)
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
from the figure, we can write
Step-by-step explanation:
- To find the E(X) expected value, you come up with the different probabilities for each outcome
- your set of outcomes after 3 tosses would be = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} where H is heads and T is tails
- Each element has a probability of 1/8 so let x represent number of tails
- The E(x)=Summation (x times P(x))
- Now which probability is 1.5 tails? None, so it is either 2 tails or 1 tails
- So you can expect to lose money in 1 game
- But as you play more games the probability of getting 3 tails becomes more and more likely, so you can expect to win in a 100 games
