a lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 19. what is the probability selected ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 g

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)] = 9 / 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of balls = 1 to 19

Find:

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4

Computation:

Total even number = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18

Probability to get even number P(A) = 9 / 19

Probability to get 4 number P(B) = 1 / 19

P(A and B) = 1 / 19 (4 common)

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)]

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) -P(A and B)

P(A or B) = [9 / 19] + [1 / 19] - [1 / 19]

Probability ball is an even numbered ball or a 4 [P(A or B)] = 9 / 19

for

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
