It is not possible to determine the exact probability without knowing how many sections the spinner has and how many of those sections are blue. However, we can estimate the probability by counting the number of blue sections and dividing by the total number of sections. Let's say there are 2 blue sections and a total of 6 sections. In this case, the probability of the pointer landing on blue would be 2/6, which simplifies to 1/3. Therefore, the actual probability of the pointer landing on blue depends on the spinner itself. None of the given answer choices are correct.

The number of students who preferred green or red is the sum of the number of students who preferred green and the number of students who preferred red. From the table, we can see that 5 students preferred green and 4 students preferred red. Therefore, the total number of students who preferred green or red is 5 + 4 = 9. The probability of selecting a student who preferred green or red is then 9/20. This fraction cannot be simplified any further. Therefore, the probability is 9/20. Answer: 9/20.

The numbers less than 5 on a standard number cube are 1, 2, 3, and 4. There are 4 of these numbers on the cube. The total number of possible outcomes when rolling the cube is 6 (since there are 6 possible numbers on the cube). Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 4/6. This fraction can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2, giving us 2/3. Therefore, the probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 2/3. Answer: 2/3.
The bag contains 20 marbles. There are 5 green marbles, 9 red marbles, and 6 blue marbles. What is the probability of randomly selecting a marble that is NOT red? Simplify your fraction if possible.

P(not red) = 9/20
P(not red) = 3/10
P(not red) = 11/20
The probability of selecting a marble that is NOT red is equal to the sum of the probabilities of selecting a green marble and a blue marble. From the information given, we know that there are 5 green marbles out of 20 total marbles, and 6 blue marbles out of 20 total marbles. Therefore, the probability of selecting a green marble is 5/20 and the probability of selecting a blue marble is 6/20. Adding these probabilities together, we get 5/20 + 6/20 = 11/20. Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a marble that is NOT red is 11/20. Answer: 11/20.

) A survey showed that 25% of car owners prefer 2-door cars, 50% prefer 4-door cars, and 25% have no preference. If you asked 400 people the same question, how many people would you predict to say they prefer a 4-door car?
*
100 people
150 people
200 people
250 people
If 50% of car owners prefer 4-door cars, and we asked 400 people the same question, we can predict that:
50% of 400 = 0.5 x 400 = 200 people
Therefore, we would predict that 200 people would say they prefer a 4-door car. Answer: 200 people.

I would count the number of vowels (7) and use that to write a fraction out of the total letters (11).
I would count the number of vowels (4) and use that to write a fraction out of the total letters (11).
I would count the number of vowels (3) and use that to write a fraction out of the total letters (10).
To find the probability of picking a vowel from the letters of the word MATHEMATICS, we need to count the number of vowels (A, E, I) and divide by the total number of letters (11). From the word MATHEMATICS, we can see that there are 3 vowels (A, E, I) and a total of 11 letters. Therefore, the probability of picking a vowel is 3/11. Answer: I would count the number of vowels (3) and use that to write a fraction out of the total letters (11).
If you have one number cube and one coin, what is the probability of rolling a 3 and landing on heads, P(rolling 3, heads)? *Hint, multiply your two fractions together

2/5
The probability of rolling a 3 on a number cube is 1/6 (since there is one 3 out of six possible numbers), and the probability of landing on heads when flipping a coin is 1/2 (since there is one heads out of two possible outcomes). To find the probability of both of these events happening together, we need to multiply the probabilities:
P(rolling 3, heads) = P(rolling a 3) x P(getting heads) = 1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12.
Therefore, the probability of rolling a 3 and landing on heads is 1/12. Answer: 1/12.

I'm sorry, I do not understand what you mean by "Boottttt". Can you please provide more context or clarify your question?
To find the number of different combinations possible, we need to multiply the number of ice cream flavors by the number of toppings.
Number of ice cream flavors = 3
Number of toppings = 3
Total number of combinations = 3 x 3 = 9
Therefore, there are 9 different combinations possible. Answer: 9.

Below are the results of tossing a number cube 9 times. Find the experimental probability of tossing an odd number.
4, 3, 6, 6, 2, 5, 3, 5, 1
(1 point)
An odd number is any number that is not divisible by 2, that is 1, 3 or 5 on a standard number cube. We can see from the results given that there are four odd numbers that were rolled, which are 3, 5, 3 and 5. Therefore, the experimental probability of tossing an odd number is:
Number of odd numbers rolled / Total number of rolls = 4 / 9
Simplifying, we get:
Experimental probability of tossing an odd number = 4/9
Therefore, the experimental probability of tossing an odd number is 4/9.
How many different ways can a coach select the captain and co-captain of a team from a group

The number of ways the coach can select the captain and co-captain of a team from a group of 20 people is given by the combination formula:
n C r = n!/r!(n-r)!
where n is the total number of people in the group and r is the number of people to be selected, in this case, r = 2 (captain and co-captain).
Plugging in the values, we get:
20 C 2 = 20!/2!(20-2)! = 20!/2!18! = (20x19)/2x1 = 190
Therefore, there are 190 different ways the coach can select the captain and co-captain of a team from a group of 20 people. Answer: 190.

There are a total of 11 tiles in the bag. If Lee chooses a tile without looking and doesn't replace it, then there will be one less tile in the bag when he chooses the second tile. Therefore, for the second pick, the probability of choosing the letter O is actually dependent on what he drew for the first pick.
1. Finding the probability of choosing an O on the first pick: There are 2 O's in the 11 tiles, so the probability of choosing an O on the first pick is 2/11.
2. Given that an O was chosen on the first pick, there is only one O remaining in the bag. Therefore, for the second pick, the probability of choosing an O is 1/10.
To find the probability of both events occurring (choosing an O on the first pick AND choosing an O on the second pick), we need to multiply the probabilities:
P(O on first AND O on second) = P(O on first) x P(O on second, given O on first) = 2/11 x 1/10 = 2/110 = 1/55
Therefore, the probability that Lee will choose the letter O both times is 1/55. Answer: 1/55.

To find the number of two-topping sandwiches that can be made, we need to find the number of combinations of 2 toppings that can be made from a total of 5 toppings. This is given by the formula:
n C r = n! / r!(n-r)!
where n is the total number of items, and r is the number of items to choose from.
Plugging in the values, we get:
5 C 2 = 5! / 2!(5-2)! = 5! / 2!3! = (5x4) / (2x1) = 10
Therefore, there are 10 two-topping sandwiches that can be made. Answer: 10.

Hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6 and hope she gets a 5, or should she roll two number cubes and hope she gets the same number on both cubes? Explain
To compare the likelihood of winning the grand prize by spinning a wheel or rolling two dice, we need to calculate the probability of winning in each scenario.
1. Spinning a wheel: Since there are six equal sections and only one of them is labeled with a 5, the probability of winning by spinning the wheel is:
P(winning by spinning) = 1/6
2. Rolling two dice: Each die has six faces labeled with numbers from 1 to 6. To win, the two dice must show the same number. There are 6 possible outcomes (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6), and only one of them is a winning outcome (5-5). Therefore, the probability of winning by rolling the dice is:
P(winning by rolling) = 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36
Comparing the two probabilities, we can see that the probability of winning by spinning the wheel is greater (1/6) than the probability of winning by rolling two dice (1/36). Therefore, Hallie should try her luck by spinning the wheel with 6 equal sections labeled from 1 to 6 and hope she gets a 5, as her chances of winning are better in this scenario.
