We have 4 apples, 3 peaches, and 4 pears.
The sample size is 11.
1st selection: apple
The probability of selecting an apple is 4/11.
2nd selection: peach
We now have a sample size of 10, which consists of 3 apples, 3 peaches, and 4 pears.
The probability of selecting a peach is 3/10.
3rd selection: peach
We now have a sample size of 9, which consists of 3 apples, 2 peaches, and 4 pears.
The probability of selecting a peach is 2/9.
Each selection was an independent event. Therefore the overall probability is
(4/11)*(3/10)*(2/9) = 4/165
Answer:
The probability of selecting an apple followed by 2 peaches is 4/165.
This probability is equivalent to 0.024 or 2.4%.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let O be the center of the circle
We have Angle YOW = 125°
and Angle WOX = 121°.
Therefore Angle YOX = 360° - 125° - 121° = 114°.
(Sum of angles around a point is 360°)
Since Angle at Center = 2 * Angle at Circumference,
Angle YWX
= 0.5 * Angle YOX = 0.5 * 114° = 57°. (A)
It is frequently called the gatekeeper subject. It is used by professionals ranging from electricians to architects to computer scientists. It is no less than a civil right, says Robert Moses, founder of the Algebra Project, which advocates for math literacy in public schools.
Basic algebra is the first in a series of higher-level math classes students need to succeed in college and life. Because many students fail to develop a solid math foundation, an alarming number of them graduate from high school unprepared for college or work. Many end up taking remedial math in college, which makes getting a degree a longer, costlier process than it is for their more prepared classmates. And it means they’re less likely to complete a college-level math course. For middle-schoolers and their parents, the message is clear: It’s easier to learn the math now than to relearn it later.
The first year of algebra is a prerequisite for all higher-level math: geometry, algebra II, trigonometry, and calculus. According to a study (pdf) by the educational nonprofit ACT, students who take algebra I, geometry, algebra II, and one additional high-level math course are much more likely to do well in college math.
Algebra is not just for the college-bound. Even high school graduates headed straight for the work force need the same math skills as college freshmen, the ACT found. This study looked at occupations that don’t require a college degree but pay wages high enough to support a family of four. Researchers found that math and reading skills required to work as an electrician, plumber, or upholsterer were comparable to those needed to succeed in college.
Algebra is, in short, the gateway to success in the 21st century. What’s more, when students make the transition from concrete arithmetic to the symbolic language of algebra, they develop abstract reasoning skills necessary to excel in math and science.
