We know that there are 33 students in all, and 12 boys. Do you know the answer now?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

possible outcomes= 21+12=... favorable outcomes= 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's think about it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the denominator of you probability would be 33 since there are 33 people in all

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, I'm sorry the definition is: probability= favorable outcomes/ possible outcomes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

21 is the number of girls

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, since 21 is the number of girls

imqwerty (imqwerty):

evryone like to help u :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the number of boys would be 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember that I told you denominator of your probability would be 33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, C is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! it is option C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The probability that an event will occur is 100%. Which of these best describes the likelihood of the event occurring? Likely Certain Unlikely Impossible

imqwerty (imqwerty):

total boys = 12 total girls=21 total children =12+21 =33 probability(a boy name is drawn) =total number of favourable events/total no. of events P=12/33 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, if it 100%, then it would be certain

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

100% is the maximum value for a probability

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/55ca40bde4b0c5fe980543e9 Come on my question after I need help!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

imqwerty (imqwerty):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!

OpenStudy (hellokitty17):

People I need our help!! I have been working on an assignment the whole day

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need more help! im about to get kicked out of my class! ::(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

imqwerty (imqwerty):

sure event has probability = 1 likely event has probability>=0.5 unliky event has probability<0.5 impossible events have probability=0 so which one is the event given in the question ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um, unlikely?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and 2/3 is greater than 0.5

imqwerty (imqwerty):

2/3=??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

2/3=0.6666.... so which category does it fall into??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

likely

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yes thats the answer :)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

it is likely not certain

)A spinner is divided into sections of equal size, of which some are red, some are blue, and the remaining are green. The probability of the arrow landing on a section colored red is 50%. The probability of the arrow landing on a section colored blue is 10%. What is the probability of the arrow landing on a section colored green? 10% 40% 50% 60%

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the sum of all probabilities has to be equal to 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40%?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!

)Marcus flipped a coin 800 times and it landed heads up 560 times. What is the relative frequency of the coin landing heads up based on the results of this experiment? 30% 70% 3% 7%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70%?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

have u tried these questions ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

imqwerty (imqwerty):

yes 70% is correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!

A bag contains 50 marbles, 10 of which are blue, 8 are red, 20 are green, and 12 are purple. Marcie takes a marble out of the bag, records the color, and returns it to the bag. How many red marbles should she expect after 500 trials? 80 100 120 200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the probability to get a red marble is 8/50

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so the favorable outcomes are, probability times possible outcomes: \[\Large \frac{8}{{50}} \cdot 500 = ...?\]
