Answer: 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

find common denominator:

Multiple: 3/4 * 5/6 = 3 · 5/4 · 6= 15/24 = 5 · 3/8 · 3 = 5/8 Multiply both numerators and denominators. Result fraction keep to lowest possible denominator GCD(15, 24) = 3. In the following intermediate step, cancel by a common factor of 3 gives 5/8. In other words - three quarters multiplied by five sixths = five eighths.

There are 320 students in a school. 16 come to school by car. 96 walk to school. Estimate the probability that a particular stud

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. The probability that a particular student arrives by car is $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05, which equals 5%.

b. The probability that a particular student walks to school is $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3, which equals 30%.

c. The probability that a particular student does not walk to school is $\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7, which equals 70%.

d. The probability that a particular student does not walk or come by car is $\frac{13}{20}$ = 0.65, which equals 65%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

$P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}$

In this case, the number of possible cases is always the same, which is equal to the total number of students. So the number of possible cases is 320 students. The number of favorable cases varies as follows:

a. Number of favorable cases= number of students that arrive by car= 16

So: $P(A)=\frac{16}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05, which equals 5%

The probability that a particular student arrives by car is $\frac{1}{20}$ = 0.05, which equals 5%.

b. Number of favorable cases= number of students that walk to school= 96

So: $P(A)=\frac{96}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3, which equals 30%

The probability that a particular student walks to school is $\frac{3}{10}$ = 0.3, which equals 30%.

c. Number of favorable cases= number of students that do not walk to school = 320 students - number of students that walk to school= 320 students - 96 students= 224 students

So: $P(A)=\frac{224}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7, which equals 70%

The probability that a particular student does not walk to school is $\frac{7}{10}$ = 0.7, which equals 70%.

d. Number of favorable cases= number of students that do not walk or come by car= 320 students - number of students that walk to school - number of students that arrive by car= 320 students - 96 students - 16 students= 208 students

So: $P(A)=\frac{208}{320}$

P(A)= $\frac{13}{20}$ = 0.65, which equals 65%

The probability that a particular student does not walk or come by car is $\frac{13}{20}$ = 0.65, which equals 65%.

Use the formula to evaluate the infinite series. Round to the nearest hundreth if necessary.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is the value of the term when n=1. It is 3. The common ratio is is the value being raised to the power of (n-1). It is 1/4. Put these numbers into the formula and do the arithmetic

S = 3/(1 -1/4) = 3/(3/4) = 3·4/3 = 4

The sum is 4.
