Answer:

The probability of picking an orange is 8/18, or 4/9.

8/18 of the fruits are oranges, so 10/18 of the fruits are not oranges. The complement of picking an orange is 10/18 or 5/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 apples, 6 pears, and 8 oranges. That adds up to 18 fruits. 8 of those are oranges, so the probability of picking an orange is 8/18, or 4/9 simplified.

The complement means all outcomes that are NOT the favorable outcome, or in this case, all outcomes that are not oranges. There are 8 oranges out of 18, so there are 10 fruits that are not oranges. This makes the complement 10/18, or 5/9 simplified.

Hi,

The two numbers should be 12 and 30. 12=2x2x3 while 30=2x3x5.

Their HCF is 2x3=6 and their LCM is 2x3x2x5. Because of their HFC, we know that they are both multiple of 6. Also, the question says they both are GREATER than 6, so they can’t be 6 but are 6 times “something”. Thanks to the LCM, we know that “something” is equal to 2 for the first number and to 5 for the second one, the numbers hence being 12 and 30.

I hope this helps. If I was not clear enough or if you’d like further explanation please let me know. Also, English is not my first language, so I’m sorry for any mistakes.

Answer:

The number generator is not fair. In most of the experiments, considerably less than 60% of the selected marbles are green.

Step-by-step explanation:

Run a significant number of times, a fair distribution should be a bell curve centered on the 6 for 60%
