Answer:

\frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in a recent​ year, 304 of the approximately​ 300,000,000 people in the United States were struck by lightning.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{304}{300,000,000}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{19}{18,750,000}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=0.0000010133333333

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year is \frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333.

Answer:

19/18750000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people  in the United States = 300,000,000

Number of people in the United States who got  struck by lightning = 304

To find: probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year

Solution:

Probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year = Number of people in the United States who got  struck by lightning / Total number of people  in the United States

= 304/300,000,000

= 19/18750000

Here is the scale model of a fountain at a museum the scale is 1:30 how many boulders are in the real fountain
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

When we do a scale model of something (like a building, a house, or whatever) al the properties of the original thing must also be in the model.

So for example, you want to do a model of a house, and in the backyard of the house there are 4 trees, then in the model of the house you also need to put 4 trees in the backyard (indifferent of the scale of the model).

Then the number of boulders in the really fountain should be the same as the number of boulders in the scale model of the fountain.
