Question

The Leafs’ coach stated that “the likelihood of us winning the next game are 2/9, the likelihood
of tying the next game are 1/2, and likelihood of us loosing the next game are 2/5”. Can the
coach’s predictions be entirely correct? Justify your response

Answer 1

Common denominator to see if the coach's predictions were corrected.

Answer 2

Lowest value in which 9, 5, 2; all go in one number?

Answer 3

Any guess?

Answer 4

i m not sure i dont get the question but i guess what ur saying could work

Answer 5

Use this little technique, in any case, you could multiply all three. 9*5*2 = 90. yes?

Answer 6

Understand?

Answer 7

All 3 go into 90.

Answer 8

yea thank you!!

Answer 9

Now to further elaborate, you must multiply the numerator by the value that number is able to go into 90.

Answer 10

So, 90/9 = 10, 90/5 = 18, 90/2 = 45.

Answer 11

Apologies, my wifi suddenly dropped.

Answer 12

no you helped alot thanks alot

Answer 13

Now toward the original numerators you gave me: Multiply each top number by the correlating values which I have given. Can you calculate that out for me please?

Answer 14

so should i do 10+18+45=73 and then divide it by 90?

Answer 15

No Angel. Let me clear it up a little more?

Answer 16

no wait i got it give me one sec

Answer 17

2/9, 1/2, 2/5
Denominators are now in /90
10*2 = ? 1*45 = ? 2*18 = ?
Then add those all up for the numerator.

Answer 18

yea so silly of me so it would be 20+45+36=101

Answer 19

Yes, correct.
101/90 does not equal 1. If it was 90/90, then the coach would be correct. It must equal one in this type of question.

Answer 20

oh okay i got it now thanks alot once again

Answer 21

Of course, anytime!
