1. There are 3 gold medalist, 5 silver medalist and twelve bronze medalists. One student is randomly chosen for an interview. Find the probability that the student is a silver medalist.

2. A letter is chosen from the word MATHEMATICS. What is the probability that the letter is?
a. consonant?
b. vowel?
c. not a letter A?

3. Suppose the probability that a television is defective is 0.123. What is the probability that a television is not defective? ​

Sagot :

Heather

[1] 0.25, 0.25%, or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

     We will divide the number of wanted outcomes by possible outcomes.

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{5}{3+5+12} =\frac{5}{20} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

[2]

     We will follow the same steps as problem 1.

MTHMTCS = 7 consonants

AEAI = 4  vowels

MTHEMTICS = 9 letters that are not A's

MATHEMATICS = total of 11 letters

(a)

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{7}{11}[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{4}{11}[/tex]

(c)

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\text{wanted outcomes}}{\text{possible outcomes}} =\frac{9}{11}[/tex]

[3] 0.877

     If the probability that a television is defective is 0.123, then the probability that a television is not defective is:

1 - 0.123 = 0.877
