Answer: 1⁷/₈ pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the whole melon is the sum of the 1¹/₈ pounds given to the neighbor and the 6/8 pounds remaining.

Convert improper to proper:

1¹/₈  = 9/8

= 9/8 + 6/8

= 15/8

= 1⁷/₈ pounds

Answer:

This is 0.14 to the nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we list the parameters;

Drive to school = 40

Take the bus = 50

Walk = 10

Sophomore = 30

Junior = 35

Senior = 35

Total number of students in sample is 100

Let W be the event that a student walked to school

So P(w) = 10/100 = 0.1

Let S be the event that a student is a senior

P(S) = 35/100 = 0.35

The probability we want to calculate can be said to be;

Probability that a student walked to school given that he is a senior

This can be represented and calculated as follows;

P( w| s) = P( w n s) / P(s)

w n s is the probability that a student walked to school and he is a senior

We need to know the number of seniors who walked to school

From the table, this is 5/100 = 0.05

So the Conditional probability is as follows;

P(W | S ) = 0.05/0.35 = 0.1429

To the nearest hundredth, that is 0.14

Find the probability.
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

7/36

Step-by-step explanation:

1 die has 6 faces

When two dice are rolled, the total number of outcomes

= 6 × 6 = 36

The Probability of having(5) =

(1 & 4), (2 & 3) , ( 3 & 2), (4 & 1)

= 4

The probability of having (10) =

(5 & 5), (4 & 6) , ( 6 & 4)

= 3

The probability that the score on the dice is either 5 or 10.

P(5) + P(10)

= 4/36 + 3/36

= 7/36
