The game of roulette involves spinning a wheel with 38 slots: 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. A ball is spun onto the wheel and will eventually land in a slot, where each slot has an equal chance of capturing the ball.
a. You watch a roulette wheel spin 3 consecutive times and the ball lands on a red slot each time. What is the probability that the ball will land on a red slot on the next spin?
b. You watch a roulette wheel spin 300 consecutive times and the ball lands on a red slot each time. What is the probability that the ball will land on a red slot on the next spin?

) If the pattern shown continues, how many black keys appear on a portable keyboard with 49 white keys? Suggestion: use equivale
Zina [12379]
There are 5 black keys for each 7 white keys. Hence, the ratio stands at 5:7. To determine how many black keys correspond to 49 white keys, we calculate the scaling factor for the ratio: 49 divided by 7 equals 7. Thus, the original ratio is scaled by 7. Therefore, the total number of black keys equals 5 multiplied by this scaling factor, resulting in 35 black keys.

Apply the distributive property to factor out the greatest common factor. 32 + 44 = 32+44=32, plus, 44, equals
AnnZ [12381]
The greatest common factor shared by 32 and 44 is 4. This is factored out as follows: 4(8 + 11) = 4(8 + 11), which appears strange to me, but that's how most textbooks illustrate the factoring process.

tester [12383]

Answer:

AC and OA

Step-by-step explanation:

-A secant refers to a line that intersects two points on a circle.

-We have a square OABC with each side measuring 6cm and a circle with radius r=5cm, centered at O. The circle's radius is shorter than the side of the square:

-The circle intersectsOA andOC, while it does not intersect AB and BC.

Therefore, AC and OA serve as secants for the circle.
