Answer 5

can anyone tell me if I am correct? I've never used this site before.

Answer 6

the chance is 75% that all of those flies would land on one of those parts.
this is how i came to that answer.
how many divisors are there (flies) 3
how many dividends are there (apples) 4.
so it would be 3/4 or 75%

Answer 8

but it is asking the P if they all landed in same area.so 75% of the time they will land in same area?

Answer 9

you said probability, probability is chances. like an example is: theres a spinner with 6 different colors, theres one red, one blue, one green, one purple, and two pinks, whats the probability of you landing on pink? the answer is 2/6 becuase theres two pinks and 6 different colors
