Answer:

340 pounds of wool

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the estimate of 25 pounds for 5 sheep, you can guess that there is 5 pounds from each sheep. So, 5×68=340

Suppose that in a certain county 37% of voters are registered as Democrats, 29% as Republicans, 7% as Green party, and the rest

Fantom [35]

Answer:

$0.66$

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Suppose that in a certain county $37\%$ of voters are registered as Democrats, $29\%$ as Republicans, $7\%$ as Green party, and the rest are considered Independents. You conduct a poll by calling registered voters in the county at random.

TO FIND: Probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican.

SOLUTION:

Lets total population of county be $100x$ .

voters registered as Democrats $=37\%=\frac{37}{100}\times100x$

$=37x$

voters registered as Republicans $=29\%=\frac{29}{100}\times100x$

$=29x$

voters registered as Green party $=7\%=\frac{7}{100}\times100x$

$=7x$

Probability that first call will be to Democrats $P(A)=\frac{\text{total democrats}}{\text{total voters}}$

$=\frac{37x}{100x}=0.37$

Probability that first call will be to Republican $P(B)=\frac{\text{total republicans}}{\text{total voters}}$

$=\frac{29x}{100x}=0.29$

probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican

$=P(A)+P(B)$

$=0.37+0.29$

$=0.66$

Hence the probability that the first call will be to either a Democrat or a Republican is $0.66$

Grace wants to find the probability of a family of 3 children having 2 boys and 1 girl. Use a tree diagram to list the possibili

pychu [463]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.

Im a lil stuck on this :v

Answer:

C-----> x<-7

Step-by-step explanation:

first u do this to turn x in positive and consequently change the > to an <:

(-1).(-4x)>28.(-1)

so:

4x<-28

x<-7

# when multiplying each side by (-1), you have to change the symbol (>) to an (<), or (<) to an (>)
