So we divide 72 by each fraction denominator to get our multiplier: 1/4 = 18/72 1/6 = 12/72 1/8 = 9/72 1/9 = 8/72 Add those all up: (18 + 12 + 9 + 8)/72 47/72 Now subtract the other methods out from 1 to get the remainder of who use other methods: Remainder = 1 - 47/72 Since 1 = 72/72, we have: (72 - 47)/72 [B]25/72[/B]

A desk drawer contains 10 blue pencils, 7 red pencils, and 8 green pencils. Without looking, you draw out a pencil and then draw out a second pencil without returning the first pencil. What is the probability that the first pencil and the second pencil are both green? We are drawing without replacement. Take each draw probability: [LIST=1] [*]First draw, we have a total of 10 + 7 + 8 = 25 pencils to choose from. P(Green) = 8/25 [*]Next draw, we only have 24 total pencils, and 7 green pencils since we do not replace.

a son is 1/4 of his fathers age. the difference in their ages is 30. what is the fathers age. Declare variables: [LIST] [*]Let f be the father's age [*]Let s be the son's age [/LIST] We're given two equations: [LIST=1] [*]s = f/4 [*]f - s = 30. [I]The reason why we subtract s from f is the father is older[/I] [/LIST] Using substitution, we substitute equaiton (1) into equation (2) for s: f - f/4 = 30 To remove the denominator/fraction, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4: 4f - 4f/4 = 30 *4 4f - f = 120 3f = 120 To solve for f, we divide each side of the equation by 3: 3f/3 = 120/3 Cancel the 3's on the left side and we get: f = [B]40[/B]

A spinner has 10 equally sized sections, 2 are gray 8 are blue. The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability that the first spin lands on blue and the second lands on gray? P(blue) = Blue sections / Total Sections P(blue) = 8/10 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=8%2F10&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']Reducing this using our simplified fraction calculator[/URL], we get: P(blue) = 4/5 P(gray) = Gray sections / Total Sections P(blue) = 2/10 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=2%2F10&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']Reducing this using our simplified fraction calculator[/URL], we get: P(gray) = 1/5 We want the probability of blue,gray. Since each spin is independent, we multiply the two probabilities to get our answer: P(blue, gray) = P(blue) * P(gray) P(blue, gray) = 4/5 * 1/5 P(blue, gray) = [B]4/25[/B]

Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework and ¼ of her remaining time riding her bike. If she rode her bike for 45 minutes in a week, how much time did she devote to homework in the same week If Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework, she has 1 - 2/5 time left over. We convert 1 to a fraction using a denominator of 5, we get: 5/5 - 2/5 = 3/5 And Amanda spent 1/4 of 3/5 of her time bike riding, which means she spent: 1(3)/4(5) = 3/20 of her time. If the total time after school is t, we have: 3t/20 = 45 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/prop.php?num1=3t&num2=45&den1=20&den2=1&propsign=%3D&pl=Calculate+missing+proportion+value']Typing in 3t/20 = 45 to our search engine[/URL], we get t = 300.

Explain the steps you would take to find an equation for the line perpendicular to 4x - 5y = 20 and sharing the same y-intercept Get this in slope-intercept form by adding 5y to each side: 4x - 5y + 5y = 5y + 20 Cancel the 5y's on the left side and we get: 5y + 20 = 4x Subtract 20 from each side 5y + 20 - 20 = 4x - 20 Cancel the 20's on the left side and we get: 5y = 4x - 20 Divide each side by 5: 5y/5 = 4x/5 - 4 y = 4x/5 - 4 So we have a slope of 4/5 to find our y-intercept, we set x = 0: y = 4(0)/5 - 4 y = 0 - 4 y = -4 If we want a line perpendicular to the line above, our slope will be the negative reciprocal: The reciprocal of 4/5 is found by flipping the fraction making the numerator the denominator and the denominator the numerator: m = 5/4 Next, we multiply this by -1: -5/4 So our slope-intercept of the perpendicular line with the same y-intercept is: [B]y = -5x/4 - 4[/B]

From a regular deck of 52 playing cards, you turn over a 6 and then a 7. What is the probability that the next card you turn over will be a face card? Key phrases: 52 card standard deck so you know there's no tricks or missing cards. [U]Calculate the number of face cards in a standard 52 card deck[/U] First, we know that face cards = (J, K, Q) We also know that there are 4 suits (Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, Clubs) Total Face Cards = 3 face card types * 4 possible suits = 12 face cards [U]Calculate total face down cards[/U] First card, you turn over a 6 Next card, you turn over a 7 This means, we have 52 cards - 2 cards from the draws = 50 cards left in the deck which are face down. P(Face Card) = Total Face Cards / Total Cards in the Deck Face Down P(Face Card) = 12/50 Simplifying this fraction [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=12%2F50&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']using our math engine[/URL], we get: P(Face Card) = [B]6/25[/B]

There are 5 orange books, 12 black books, and 8 tan books on Mr. Johnsons bookshelf. Calculate the probability of randomly selecting a black book and then a tan book without replacement. Write your answer as a percent. P(black book first draw) P(black book first draw) = 12 black / (5 orange + 12 black + 8 tan) P(black book first draw) = 12 / 25 P(tan book second draw) P(tan book second draw) = 8 tan / (5 orange + 11 black + 8 tan) <-- 11 black because we already drew one black P(tan book second draw) = 8 / 24 Using our fraction reduction calculator, this simplifies to 1/3 Since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities: P(black book first draw, tan book second draw) = 12/25 * 1/3 P(black book first draw, tan book second draw) = 12/75 P(black book first draw, tan book second draw) = [B]16%[/B]

There are 50 pairs of pants. One-half of the pants are black. One-fifth of the pants are tan. How many pairs of pants are not black or tan. First, determine what fraction of pants are black and tan: 1/2 + 1/5 Using our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=1%2F2&frac2=1%2F5&pl=Add']fraction addition calculator[/URL], we get 7/10. So the rest of the pants are 1 - 7/10. 1 can be written as 10/10. So we have 10/10 - 7/10 = 3/10 3/10 * 50 = 150/10 = [B]15[/B]

There is a bag filled with 3 blue, 4 red and 5 green marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is not replaced. Another marble is taken at random.

There is a bag filled with 5 blue, 6 red and 2 green marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced. Another marble is taken at random. What is the probability of getting exactly 1 blue? Find the total number of marbles in the bag: Total marbles = 5 blue + 6 red + 2 green Total marbles = 13 The problem asks for exactly one blue in 2 draws [I]with replacement[/I]. Which means you could draw as follows: Blue, Not Blue Not Blue, Blue The probability of drawing a blue is 5/13, since we replace the marbles in the bag each time. The probability of not drawing a blue is (6 + 2)/13 = 8/13 And since each of the 2 draws are independent of each other, we multiply the probability of each draw: Blue, Not Blue = 5/13 * 8/13 =40/169 Not Blue, Blue = 8/13 * 5/13 = 40/169 We add both probabilities since they both count under our scenario: 40/169 + 40/169 = 80/169 Checking our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=80%2F169&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']fraction simplification calculator[/URL], we see you cannot simplify this fraction anymore.

True or False (a) The normal distribution curve is always symmetric to its mean. (b) If the variance from a data set is zero, then all the observations in this data set are identical. (c) P(A AND A^c)=1, where A^c is the complement of A. (d) In a hypothesis testing, if the p-value is less than the significance level α, we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. (e) The volume of milk in a jug of milk is 128 oz. The value 128 is from a discrete data set. [B](a) True, it's a bell curve symmetric about the mean (b) True, variance measures how far a set of numbers is spread out. A variance of zero indicates that all the values are identical (c) True. P(A) is the probability of an event and P(Ac) is the complement of the event, or any event that is not A. So either A happens or it does not. It covers all possible events in a sample space. (d) False, we have sufficient evidence to reject H0. (e) False. Volume can be a decimal or fractional. There are multiple values between 127 and 128. So it's continuous.[/B]
