In this question, we want to compare several numbers with different denominators and find out which number is the least. To compare this number, we have to change the denominator into the same number by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the 4 numbers. The factor of each number will be:
3= 3 ^1
5= 5^1
8= 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^3
2= 2^1
We can find the LCM by multiplying a higher exponent of each prime number. The LCM will be:3^1 * 5^1 * 2^3 = 120
Each number will be:
Tiger= 2/3 * 40/40= 80/120
Redbird = 4/5 * 24/24= 96/120
Bulldogs = 3/8 * 15/15 = 45/120
Titans = 1/2 * 60/60 = 60/120
As you can see, the team with the lowest chance to play is Bulldogs = 45/120
The answer to your question is 34.13%
Here is an example:
Find the MAD of 2,4,6,8 Step 1 : Find the mean of the data : (2+4+6+8) / 4 = 20/5 = 4 Step 2 : Find the distance between each data and mean. Distance between 2 and 5 is 3 Distance between 4 and 5 is 1 Distance between 6 and 5 is 1 Distance between 8 and 5 is 3
Step 3 : Add all the distances : 3+1+1+3 = 8
Step 4 : Divide it by the number of data : 8 / 4 = 2 2 is the average absolute deviation.
- Factor the indicated expression:
- Simplified the index the root and also the exponent using the number 2.
