Look at it this way:
When you flip a coin, the probability of it landing with EITHER side showing
is 100%.
This leads us to the rule ...
The sum of the probabilities of
all possible outcomes is 100%.
For a coin: (probability of heads) plus (probability of tails) = 100%.
That just says: We're 100% sure that the coin will land with either
heads or tails up.
An "honest" coin gets heads 50% of the time and tails the other 50%.
But if the coin is all bent and squashed and has a feather stuck to
one side and a wad of gum on the other side so that it comes up
heads 70% of the time, then the coin isn't 'honest'. But it still has to
land EITHER heads OR tails, so the sum of the probabilities is still 100%.
So the probability of heads is 30%.
Answer:
75 students
Step-by-step explanation:
500 students x 0.25 (25%) = 125 play baseball
500 students x 0.10 (10%) = 50 play soccer
125 who play baseball - 50 who play soccer = 75 more students who play baseball
The ratio 12:20 because you need it to be equal to 3:5. 3 times 4 which makes 12 so you need to multiply 5 with 4 too
Answer:
594 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a rectangle is length times width. We can find the area of each workers plot by multiplying 9 and 11 to get 99 sq feet. There is six workers, and therefore six plots of land, so we'd take our 99 sq feet and count that six times to get 594 square feet.
