Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is, by definition, a number between 0 and 1, which can be expressed as a fraction or a percentage. For example, the odds of getting heads if you throw a fair coin are 50%, or ½. The odds of not getting heads are 1-½=½.

If the probability of something happening is 1, it means that that thing will happen for sure. Likewise, if the probability of an event is 0, it means that the event will never happen.

You can therefore easily understand that it doesn't make sense to have a probability greater than 1, as we have in choice D.

Answer:

Jamie has 11/15 yards of Green Felt more than Blue Felt

Step-by-step explanation:

Green felt- Blue felt

= 5/6- 1/10

= 25/30- 3/30 ( taking LCM)

= 25 - 3/30

=22/30

=11/15 yards

LCM= 2*3*5= 30

Factors of 6= 2*3

Factors of 10= 2*5

You place $4,000.00 in a bank account with an interest rate of 5.25% APR and another $2,000.00 in an account with an interest ra

Mila [183]

First account
interest = 6/12 × 5.25% × 4,000
interest = 1/2 × 5.25/100 × 4,000
interest = 1/2 × 210
interest = 105 dollars

Second account
interest = 6/12 × 6% × 2,000
interest = 1/2 × 6/100 × 2,000
interest = 1/2 × 120
interest = 60 dollars

After 6 months, the first account will have earned more interest than the second account
