A rational number times a rational number=rational numberan irrational number times a rational number=irrational number
remember, a rational number is a number that can be written as a/b where a and b are integers and b≠0
A is irrational because the pattern doesn't repeatb is irrational because it's a crazy square rootC is irrationalD is not irrational, it is a fraction
answer is D
Problem 1
Answer: Closer to 1
Explanation:
There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.
================================================
Problem 2
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 3
Answer: Closer to 0
Explanation:
We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50
================================================
Problem 4
Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely
Explanation:
We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%
P(a U b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a ∩ b)
<=>
p(a ∩ b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a U b)
I let you do the maths :)
If you have 60% out of 40 students that is 24 students
