Answer:
The probability is 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 2 nectarines in a total of 16 pieces of fruit in a basket, so the probability of random selected piece of fruit being a nectarine is the number of nectarines over the total number of pieces of fruit:
Probability = Number of nectarines / Total pieces = 2 / 16
To find the fraction in the simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by 2:
Probability = (2/2) / (16/2) = 1/8
Answer:
D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to select which of the options is correct.
The correct option is the option D
Since the die is unfair, we expect that the probability of each of the numbers turning up
will not be equal.
However, we should also expect that if we add the chances of all the numbers occurring together, then the total probability should be equal to 1. But this does not work in this case;
In this case, adding all the probabilities together, we have;
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 + 1/2
= 5(1/12) + 1/2 = 5/12 + 1/2 = 11/12
11/12 is not equal to 1 and thus the probability distribution cannot be correct
There is no simplest form for a decimal. You can only simplify equations and fractions, not decimals. For example, could you simplify 1? I don't think you could. Well, it's the same concept for -3.75.
Hope that answered your question.
