Answer:
62.22%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find how many total marbles there are:
12 + 11 + 17 + 5
= 45
Then, find how many marbles that are not blue:
12 + 11 + 5
= 28
Then, divide 28 by 45, and multiply by 100
(28/45) x 100
= 62.22% is the probability of not choosing a blue marble
Answer:
250 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
since number of taps times time is constant
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a 1/12 probability that volume 1 will be correctly put in position 1.
If we assume that volume 1 is right, then since there are then only 11 books left to choose from, there is then a 1/11 prob that volume 2 will be in position 2. And so on. By the same reasoning there is 1/10 prob that volume 3 is then right, 1/9 prob for volume 4, 1/8 prob for volume 5, and 1/7 prob for volume 6,
and 1/6 prob for volume 7,and 1/5 prob for volume 8,and 1/4 prob for volume 9,and 1/3 prob for volume 10,and 1/2 prob for volume 11,and 1/1 prob for volume 12.
So the probability is 1 /(12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1 / 479,001,600 ....
To help with thinking about this, we can say that the 6 gallons of 50% acid contains 3 gallons of pure acid and 3 gallons of filler. This would make the concentration 3/6, or 50%. Adding a gallon of pure acid would shift the concentration to 4/7, or 57.1%.
When the relationship becomes 70%, four gallons of pure acid have been added.
3+4 7
—— = — = 70%
6+4 10
