Answer:

45 old houses

Step-by-step explanation:

new houses : old houses

3 : 9

15 : ?

(3 = 1st ratio and 9 = 2nd ratio)

To find the missing ratio, divide the first ratio from the new ratio:

15 / 3 = 5

Take the product and multiply that by the second ratio to find the missing ratio:

9 x 5 = 45

Answer:

45 old houses

Step-by-step explanation:

What I did:

I divided 15 by 3, to get an idea of the 'scale' which gives us 5

for every 9 old houses, we have 3 new ones; so to scale be multiply the base number by our "scale" number, 5.

3 * 5 = 15 new houses

8 * 5 = 45 old houses

Suppose that the proportions of blood phenotypes in a particular population are as follows: A B AB O 0.48 0.13 0.03 0.36 Assumin
Serggg [28]

Answer:

P(O and O) =0.1296

P=0.3778

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

blood phenotypes in a particular population

A=0.48

B=0.13

AB=0.03

O=0.36

As we know that when A and B both are independent that

P(A and B)= P(A) X P(B)

The probability that both phenotypes O are in independent:

P(O and O)= P(O) X P(O)

P(O and O)= 0.36 X 0.36 =0.1296

P(O and O) =0.1296

The probability that the phenotypes of two randomly selected individuals match:

Here  four case are possible

So

P=P(A and A)+P(B and B)+P(AB and AB)+P(O and O)

P=0.48 x 0.48 + 0.13 x 0.13 + 0.03 x 0.03 + 0.36 x 0.36

P=0.3778
