Adam mixes the letters R, E, A, D, I, N, G, S, and A thoroughly. Without looking, Allen draws one letter. expressed as a fraction, decimal, and percentage, what is the probability that Allen will not select a consonant.
A 9/5, 1.8, 18%
B 9/4, 2.25, 22.5%
C 4/9, 0.444, 44.4%
D 5/9, 0.556, 55.6%
@bot
There are 5 consonants (R, D, N, G, S) and 4 vowels (E, A, I, O). So the probability that Allen selects a consonant is 5/9. Therefore, the probability that Allen does not select a consonant is 1 - 5/9 = 4/9.
Expressed as a fraction: 4/9
Expressed as a decimal: 0.444
Expressed as a percentage: 44.4%
So the answer is (C) 4/9, 0.444, 44.4%.
suppose you have a wallet with $5 bills, %10 bills, and $20 bills. if the probability of picking a $10 bill is 4/15, and the probability of picking a $5 bill is 1/3, what is the probability of picking a $20 bill?
A 1/15
B 1/5
C 4/15
D 2/5
Let the number of $5 bills, $10 bills, and $20 bills be $x, y$, and $z$, respectively. Then, we know that:
y/(x+y+z) = 4/15 (the probability of picking a $10 bill is 4/15)
x/(x+y+z) = 1/3 (the probability of picking a $5 bill is 1/3)
We can simplify the second equation by multiplying both sides by 3:
3x/(x+y+z) = 1
Subtracting this from 1 gives:
1 - 3x/(x+y+z) = y/(x+y+z) + z/(x+y+z)
Simplifying this equation by substituting 4/15 for y/(x+y+z) and solving for z/(x+y+z), we get:
z/(x+y+z) = 1/15
So the probability of picking a $20 bill is z/(x+y+z) = 1/15.
Therefore, the answer is (A) 1/15.

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions.
the sample space for a roll of two number cubes is shown in the table
what is the probability that the roll will result in both numbers being the same
A 1/6
B 1/3
C 7/18
D 2/3
There are 6 possible outcomes when rolling two number cubes: (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3).
Out of these 9 possible outcomes, there are 3 outcomes where both numbers are the same: (1,1), (2,2), and (3,3).
Therefore, the probability of rolling two numbers that are the same is 3/9, which simplifies to 1/3.
So the answer is (B) 1/3.
the two numbers rolled can be added to get a sum. P(sum is even)
A 1/4
B 15/36
C 1/2
D 3/4
To get an even sum, the two numbers rolled must either both be even or both be odd.
The probability of rolling an even number on a single number cube is 1/2 (since there are 3 even numbers out of a total of 6 possible numbers). Therefore, the probability of rolling two even numbers is (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4.
Similarly, the probability of rolling two odd numbers is also 1/4. So the overall probability of rolling an even sum is:
P(even sum) = P(both even) + P(both odd) = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2
So the answer is (C) 1/2.
while shopping, you purchase 4 pairs of jeans, 6 shirts, and 3 pairs of shoes. how many different outfits will you be able to make using one pair of jeans, one shirt, and one pair of shoes
A 13
B 22
C 60
D 72
To make an outfit, we need to choose one pair of jeans out of 4, one shirt out of 6, and one pair of shoes out of 3.
The number of ways to make an outfit is the product of the number of choices for each item:
Number of outfits = 4 x 6 x 3 = 72
Therefore, the answer is (D) 72.
a spinner has 4 equal sections: red, blue, yellow, and green. Maria spins the spinner and tosses a coin. which shoes the sample space for spinning the spinner and tossing the coin
The sample space for spinning the spinner and tossing a coin consists of all possible outcomes of spinning the spinner (red, blue, yellow, or green) and all possible outcomes of tossing a coin (heads or tails). So the sample space is:
{red heads, red tails, blue heads, blue tails, yellow heads, yellow tails, green heads, green tails}
There are 4 possible outcomes for spinning the spinner and 2 possible outcomes for tossing the coin, so this gives a total of 4 x 2 = 8 possible outcomes in the sample space.
a sandwich shop sells sausage sandwiches, bacon sandwiches, and 16 different toppings. how many choices are there for a single sandwich with one topping
A 18
B 24
C 32
D 34
There are 2 steps involved in making a sandwich with one topping:
1. Choose the type of sandwich (sausage or bacon): There are 2 options.
2. Choose the topping: There are 16 options.
By the multiplication principle, the total number of choices is the product of the number of choices for each step.
Number of choices = 2 x 16 = 32
Therefore, the answer is (C) 32.
the probability that James will win two races in the next two days is 1/8 for tomorrow and 1/10 for the ay after tomorrow. what is P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow)
A 1/80
B 1/40
C 1/18
D 2/9
To find the probability of winning both races, we need to multiply the probability of winning tomorrow by the probability of winning the day after tomorrow, since both events must happen in order.
P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow) = P(win tomorrow) x P(win the day after tomorrow)
P(win tomorrow, then win the day after tomorrow) = (1/8) x (1/10) = 1/80
Therefore, the answer is (A) 1/80.
suppose 10% of the flights at an airport arrive early, 60% arrive o time, and 30% arrive late. Valerie used the random number table to find the experimental probability that of 5 flights, at least 2 will arrive late. the digit 0 represents flights arriving early. the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 represent the flights arriving on time. the digits 7, 8, and 9 represent flights arriving late
To find the experimental probability that at least 2 flights will arrive late, Valerie needs to simulate 5 flights using the random number table and count the number of times she gets a 7, 8, or 9.
Valerie can use the following key to simulate the flights:
- 0 represents flights arriving early (10% probability)
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 represent flights arriving on time (60% probability)
- 7, 8, and 9 represent flights arriving late (30% probability)
Using the random number table, she can simulate 5 flights by looking at groups of two digits at a time. For example, the first two digits might be 94, which represents a flight that arrives late, followed by a flight that arrives on time. She would then look at the next two digits to simulate the next flight, and so on.
The probability of getting at least 2 flights that arrive late can be found by adding up the probabilities of the following outcomes (where L represents a flight that arrives late):
- LLTTT (0.3 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.0324)
- LTLTT (0.3 x 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.0324)
- TLTLT (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.6 = 0.0324)
- TLTTL (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.3 = 0.0324)
- TLLTT (0.6 x 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.0324)
- LTTLT (0.3 x 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.3 x 0.6 = 0.0324)
Adding up these probabilities gives:
0.1944
Therefore, the experimental probability that at least 2 flights will arrive late is approximately 0.1944.
find the experimental probability that of 5 flights, at least 2 will arrive late
A 3/10
B 2/5
C 9/20
D 11/20
Using the procedure described above, we find that the experimental probability of getting at least 2 flights that arrive late is approximately 0.1944.
To check which option is closest to this experimental probability, we can convert each option to a decimal:
- (A) 3/10 = 0.3
- (B) 2/5 = 0.4
- (C) 9/20 = 0.45
- (D) 11/20 = 0.55
The experimental probability of 0.1944 is closest to (A) 3/10.
Therefore, the answer is (A) 3/10.
Elizabeth has two identical number cubes. boh cubes have facs numbered 1 through 6. if Elizabeth rolls each cube once, what is the probability that the sum of the two numbers on the top faces will be 10
A 1/36
B 1/12
C 1/10
D 1/9
There are 36 possible outcomes when rolling two number cubes, since there are 6 possible outcomes for the first cube and 6 possible outcomes for the second cube.
To find the number of outcomes where the sum of the two numbers is 10, we can list all the possible outcomes:
- (4,6)
- (5,5)
- (6,4)
Therefore, there are 3 outcomes where the sum of the two numbers is 10.
So the probability of rolling a sum of 10 is 3/36, which simplifies to 1/12.
Therefore, the answer is (B) 1/12.
how many different arrangements can be made with the letters from the word SPACE
A 24
B 32
C 60
D 120
The word SPACE has 5 letters, so there are 5 choices for the first letter.
After we choose the first letter, there are 4 choices left for the second letter.
Similarly, there are 3 choices for the third letter, 2 choices for the fourth letter, and 1 choice for the last letter.
Therefore, the total number of different arrangements is:
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120
So the answer is (D) 120.
Jason wants to choose 9 players for his track team here are 12 players to choose from. how many different teams can Jason make
a 21
b 112
c 220
d 306
To choose a team of 9 players from 12 players, Jason needs to use the combination formula:
C(12, 9) = 12! / (9! * 3!) = (12 * 11 * 10) / (3 * 2 * 1)
C(12, 9) = 220
Therefore, the answer is (C) 220. Jason can make 220 different teams.
write the number of permutations in factorial form. then simplify. how many different ways can you and six of your friends sit in your assigned seats in math class
a 6!; 120
b 6!; 720
c 7!; 2,520
d 7!; 5,040
The number of permutations can be written as a factorial:
7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
To simplify this, we can calculate the product:
7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5,040
Therefore, the answer is (D) 7!; 5,040. There are 5,040 different ways for you and your six friends to sit in assigned seats in math class.
below are the results of tossing a number cube 9 times. find the experimental probability of tossing an odd number
4, 3, 6, 6, 2, 5, 3, 3, 5, 1
a 4/9
b 1/2
c 5/9
d 2/3
To find the experimental probability of tossing an odd number, we need to count the number of times an odd number appears in the list and divide by the total number of tosses.
The odd numbers that appear in the list are 3, 5, and 1. These appear a total of 5 times. Therefore, the experimental probability of tossing an odd number is:
P(odd) = 5/9
Therefore, the answer is (C) 5/9.
how many different ways can a band teacher select the lead the co-lead trumpet player from a group of 12 trumpet players
a 132
b 264
c 312
d 448
The band teacher needs to select 2 trumpet players (the lead and co-lead), so this is a combination problem.
The total number of ways to select 2 trumpet players from 12 trumpet players is:
C(12,2) = 12! / (2! * 10!) = (12 * 11) / (2 * 1) = 66
Therefore, the answer is (A) 66. The band teacher can select the lead and co-lead trumpet player in 66 different ways.
i only have 132, 64, 312, and 448 as anwsers
In that case, the answer is (A) 132. The band teacher can select the lead and co-lead trumpet player in 132 different ways.
when buying a new car, you have a choice of 4 different models, 3 different colors, and 2 different sizes. how many choices are there for one car
a 5
b 12
c 16
d 24
To find the number of choices for one car, we need to multiply the number of choices for each category:
- 4 choices of model
- 3 choices of color
- 2 choices of size
Multiplying these together, we get:
4 x 3 x 2 = 24
Therefore, the answer is (D) 24. There are 24 different choices for one car.
there are 25 people competing in a race. in how many ways can they finish in the first and second place
a 49
b 400
c 600
d 625
To determine the number of ways that 25 people can finish in first and second place, we need to use the permutation formula:
P(25, 2) = 25! / (25 - 2)! = 25 x 24
P(25, 2) = 600
Therefore, the answer is (C) 600. There are 600 possible ways for 25 people to finish in first and second place.
a bag contains tiles with the letters C-O-M-B-I-N-A-T-I-O-N-S. lee choose a tiles without looking and doesn't replace it. he chooses a second tile without looking. what is the probability the he will choose the letter O both times
The probability of drawing an O on the first draw is 2/13, since there are two O's in a total of 13 tiles.
After the first draw, there will be one fewer tile in the bag, and one fewer O. So the probability of drawing an O on the second draw, given that an O was already drawn on the first draw, is 1/12.
To find the probability of drawing an O on both draws, we need to multiply the probabilities of the two events:
P(O on first draw) x P(O on second draw after drawing an O on the first)
= (2/13) x (1/12)
= 1/78
Therefore, the probability of drawing the letter O both times is 1/78.
