sweet [91]

Answer:

The probability of you winning is 1/3

No, it is not a fair game

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to have here is the sample space. This refers to the set of all possible results that can occur from the rolling.

Please check attachment for this

Kindly note that the total number of possible outcomes is 36.

And in the attachment, sums which are divisible by 3 are circled.

The number of circles we can count is 12

Thus, the probability of you winning would be number of circles/total number of outcomes = 12/36 = 1/3

Is it a fair game?

No, it is not

It can only be a fair game if the probability of winning equals probability of losing ( which is 18/36 = 1/2 or 0.5)

In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, respondents favored Barack Obama over Mitt Romney in terms of likeability, 61% to 32% (Los Angeles T

dybincka [34]

Answer:

a) percentage of respondents that favored neither Obama nor Romney in terms of likeability = 7%

b) For a given survey of 500, the number of respondents that favored Obama than Romney is 145.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that none of those surveyed can favour the two candidates at the same time,

n(Universal set) = n(U) = 100%

n(Obama) = n(O) = 61%

n(Romney) = n(R) = 32%

n(That favour Obama and Romney) = n(O n R) = 0%

To calculate for the number that favour neither of the candidates

n(O' n R')

n(U) = n(O) + n(R) + n(O n R) + n(O' n R')

100 = 61 + 32 + 0 + n(O' n R')

n(O' n R') = 100 - 93 = 7%

b) For a given survey of 500, how many more respondents favored Obama than Romney?

Number of those surveyed that favour Obama = 61% of 500 = 305

Number of those surveyed that favour Romney = 32% of 500 = 160

Difference = 305 - 160 = 145

miskamm [114]

Given:

Seventy cards are numbered 1 through 70, one number per card. One card is randomly selected from the deck.

To find:

The probability that the number drawn is a multiple of 3 and a multiple of 5.

Solution:

Total number from 1 to 70 = 70

Multiple of 3 from 1 to 70 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, 66, 69.

Multiple of 5 from 1 to 70 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70.

Numbers which are multiply of both number 3 and 5 = 15, 30, 45, 60

Number of favorable outcomes = 4

$Probability=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

$Probability=\dfrac{4}{70}$

$Probability=\dfrac{2}{35}$

Therefore, the required probability is $\dfrac{2}{35}$ .

Samara is adjusting a satellite because she finds it is not focusing the income radio waves perfectly. The shape of her satellit

gogolik [260]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{(6, 3)}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The conic form of the equation for a sideways parabola is

(y - k)² = 4p(x - h)

The focus is at (h + p, k)

The equation of Samara's parabola is

(y - 3)² = 8(x - 4)

h = 4

p = 8/4 = 2

k = 3

h + p = 6

So, the focus point of the satellite dish is at

$\boxed{\textbf{(6, 3)}}$

5. the price of an ipod dropped from $299.99 to $180.55. what was the percent decrease in price? (round to nearest hundredth per

max2010maxim [7]

If you would like to know what was the percent decrease in price, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $299.99 is $180.55
x% * 299.99 = 180.55
x/100 * 299.99 = 180.55
x = 180.55 * 100 / 299.99
x = 60.19%

100% - 60.19% = 39.81%

The correct result would be 39.81%.
