Answer:

$0\le P\le 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event quantifies the likelihood of that event occurring.

Definition: The probability of an event is given as

$P=\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}$

1. An event that is sure to occur (Number of favorable outcomes = Total number of outcomes) has a probability of 1.

2. An event that is impossible (Number of favorable outcomes = 0) has a probability of 0.

3. If there's a possibility that an event can occur, its probability will fall between 0 and 1.

Ratio for 669 and 221

Svet_ta [12734]

Greetings from MrBillDoesMath! The answer is: 669/221 Discussion: The ratio of 669 to 221 equals 669/221. Observing the factors, 669 is 3 * 223 and 221 is 13 * 17. As all these factors are distinct primes, nothing cancels in their ratio. Thus, 669/221 remains in its simplest form.

A students calculation was found to have a 15.6% error, and the actual value was determined to be 25.7 mL. What are the two poss

PIT_PIT [12445]

The true value is 25.7 ml.
The calculated error is 15.6%.
Thus, the error amount equals 0.156 times 25.7, which calculates to 4.0092 ml.

The percentage error indicates that the student's measurement could either exceed or fall short of the true value by this error amount.

This leads to two potential readings:
one possibility is: 25.7 + 4.0092 = 29.7092 ml
the other possibility is: 25.7 - 4.0092 = 21.6908 ml

Detailed explanation:

Question 4 provides clear information,

thus resolving Question 4:

1 euro equals $1.17.

Consequently, €20.46 is calculated as 20.46 multiplied by 1.17, which equals $23.93.

1 pound equals $1.28.

Thus, £12.60 translates to 12.60 multiplied by 1.28, yielding $16.128.

Therefore, the MP3 in pounds is $7.81 cheaper in dollars.
