Answer:
9/40
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of event A happening, then event B, is the probability of event A happening times the probability of event B happening given that event A already happened.
In this case, event A is the Captain missing the pirate ship and event B is the pirate hitting the Captain's ship.
The Captain fires first, so her ship can't be sunk before she fires her cannons.
So, the probability of the Captain missing the pirate ship is
3/5
If the Captain missed the pirate ship, the pirate has a normal chance to fire back.
So, the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain missing the pirate ship is
3/8
The probability that the Captain misses the pirate ship, but the pirate hits is then the probability of the Captain missing the pirate ship times the probability of the pirate hitting the Captain's ship given the Captain missing the pirate ship.
this is 3/5 X 3/8 = 9/40

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The correct answer is B) 21%
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a binomial model probability problem. We need to find the probability of 6 out of 10 new births at a hospital being boys. The information we need is the number of trials observed, the number of successes and the percentage chance you have of any birth being a boy. The number of trials are 10, with the number of successes being 6 (the number of trials we want to be boys) It states that 51% or 0.51 of all births in the US are boys so we can use this value to determine our answer using our binomial model formula. After simplifying we get our answer of 21% I hope this has been of use to you :)
Have a wonderful rest of your day!
