Answer:

5.01%

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate a sequence of events you need to multiply the probability of each event happening with one another in decimal form. In this scenario, the probability of James bowling a strike is 55% meaning that the probability of James NOT bowling a strike is 45%. We want to know the probability of James NOT bowling a strike for 3 attempts and then bowling a strike on his fourth attempt. We first turn these probabilities into decimal form by dividing them by 100. And then multiply...

55 / 100 = 0.55

45 / 100 = 0.45

0.45 * 0.45 * 0.45 * 0.55 = 0.05011875

Multiply by 100 to get percentage.

0.05011875 * 100 = 5.01%

Levart [38]

Assuming that C is the hypotenuse...

The formula you want to use is:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We start by squaring 10, which is 100. 5^2 is 25. Now that we have the values, we can do the equation.

100+25=c^2                  100+25=\sqrt{125}

Now, square root \sqrt{125}

C= 11.180

I don't understand this, I have the answer but I don't know or how to explain my work.
svp [43]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

0.25 = 1/4 = 5/20

0.35 = 35/100 = 7/20

5/20 + 7/20 = 12/20 = 6/10 = 3/5

Viefleur [7K]
60 percent of 150 is 90. So that means 60 shots do not go in.
