Algebra.Com's Answer #778947 by Edwin McCravy(20060)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose that 21 slips of paper numbered 1 to 21, inclusive, are put into a hat. \n" ); document.write( "Then one slip is drawn out of the hat.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. Find the probability that the slip with a 4 is drawn. Well let's see. We have 21 slips of paper with these numbers written on them:\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "How many have 4 on them? I'll color any that have 4 on them red.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "How many did I color red? Just 1. So that's 1 out of 21. \r\n" ); document.write( "So the probability is 1/21.2. Find the probability that a slip with an even number on it is drawn. How many have an even number on them? I'll color any that have an even number\r\n" ); document.write( "on them red.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "How many did I color red? I count 10. That's 10 out of 21. \r\n" ); document.write( "So the probability is 10/21.3. Find the probability that a slip with a multiple of five on it is drawn. How many have a multiple of 5 \r\n" ); document.write( "on them? I'll color any that have a multiple of 5 on them red.\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "How many did I color red? I count 4. That's 4 out of 21. \r\n" ); document.write( "So the probability is 4/21. \r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "This was very easy, wasn't it?\r\n" ); document.write( "\r\n" ); document.write( "Edwin\n" ); document.write( " |
