A gumball machine contains 230 gumballs of 5 different colors: 64 red, 22 blue, 32 orange, 26 green, and the rest white. The mac

hine dispenser randomly selects one gumball. What is the probability that the gumball dispensed is white?
72/115 ≈ 63%
32/115 ≈ 28%
43/115 ≈ 37%
86/100 = 86%

The probability is the statistics of your chances of an event occurring which signifies a part of a whole. You express the probability in either fraction form or in percentage. The numerator would be number of all possibilities, while the denominator is the number of all events. In this case, the numerator is the number of white gumballs, while the denominator is the number of all gumballs available.

To solve for the number of white gumballs, you subtract all the other balls to the total. 

Number of white balls = 230 - <span>64 red - 22 blue - 32 orange - 26 green
</span>Number of white balls = 86

Thus,
Probability of white ball = 86/230 = 43/115 or 37%

Annette [7]

Answer:

0.24315

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the z score formula to solve this question

z = (x - μ) / σ,

Such that:

x = raw score

μ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation.

From the question:

x = 3000

μ = 3550

σ = 870

z = (3000 - 3550) / 870

z = -550/870

z = -0.6962

Using the z score table as well as probability calculator(as requested in the question to find the z score)

The probability of having less than 3000 is obtained as:

P(x<3000) = 0.24315

HURRY PLEASE When 5 and 6 are multiplied by the same factor, how do the ratios compare to the ratio 5:6? The ratios are equivale
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The ratios are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply both 5 and 6, the ratio stays the same.

5:6 = 10:12 = 15:18 = 20:24 etc.

You can try this by dividing the larger number by the smaller number. You'll always get 1.2 as the "relationship", or ratio, is preserved.

24/20 = 1.2

15/18 = 1.2

10/12 = 1.2

6/5 = 1.2

marissa [1.9K]

Given

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham & pays a total of $30, turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham.

find out the combined cost of 1 pound of turkey and 1 pound of ham

To proof

As given in the question

jacinta buys 4 pounds of turkey and 2 pounds of ham

total pay by jacinta = $30

let us assume that the price of the ham = x

as given in the question

turkey costs $1.50 less per pound than the ham

turkey costs becomes = x - 1.50

then the equation becomes

30 = 4 (x - 1.50) + 2x

30 = 4x + 2x - 6

36 = 6x

x = 6

thus

ham cost per pound = $6

turkey cost per pound = 6 - 1.50

                                    = $ 4.5

Now find out

cost of 1 pound of turkey + 1 pound of ham = $ 6 + $ 4.5

                                                                       = $ 10.5

Hence proved
