<h3>Answer: D) 3/150</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

With the use of a calculator, we see that,

  • 11/19 = 0.57894736842106...., the decimals eventually repeat; but unfortunately my calculator ran out of room to show the repeating portion
  • 4/7 = 0.5714285714285714..., the block "571428" repeats forever
  • 1/3 = 0.333333.... the 3s go on forever
  • 3/150 = 0.02

So 3/150 converts to the terminating decimal 0.02

The word "terminate" means "stop". In the other decimal values, the decimal digits go on forever repeating the patterns mentioned.

----------------------

A non-calculator approach will have us simplify 3/150 into 1/50 after dividing both parts by the GCF 3. Then notice how 50 has the prime factorization of 2*5*5. The fact that the denominator 50 can be factored in terms of only 2's and 5's is enough evidence to conclude that the fraction converts to a terminating decimal.

If the denominator factors into some other primes, other than 2s and 5s, then we don't have a terminating decimal. So that's why 11/19, 4/7 and 1/3 convert to non-terminating decimals.

P(B|A) (option B)

Doesn't affect (option A)

P(B|A) = P(B) (option A)

Explanation:

1) Conditional probabilities could be in the form P(A|B) or P(B|A)

P(B|A) is a notation that reads the probability of event B given that event A has occurred.

P(B|A) (option B)

2) Independent events do not affect the outcome of each other

For event A and B to be independent, the probability of event A occurring doesn't affect the the probability of event B occurring

Doesn't affect (option A)

3) Events A and B are independent if the following are satisfied:

P(A|B) = P(A)

P(B|A) = P(B)

The ones that appeared in the option is P(B|A) = P(B) (option A)

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

A character is offered five different jobs. They all include an hourly wage, as well as a set weekly base pay. One example is a job that pays $8.50 an hour, plus an additional $25 bonus for the week. (Weekly base pay is what you automatically get paid for working the entire week. A bonus is money you earn in addition to the weekly base pay.) Story Starter 2: A character is searching for the best cell phone plan to buy. One plan costs $25 a month, plus $0.89 per minute used. Story Starter 3: A character is trying to decide which cab to choose from the five available. All the cabs have different rates per mile. They also charge different flat rates in addition to the rates per mile. One cab is offering a rate of $0.75 per mile, plus a flat fee of $25.
