  3. I'm sorry folks. I don't have the textbook here. If you post the question I will help you with it. There is basketball in the morning, but I am at a workshop until 12pm tomorrow. I can help you after that.

  5. Larissa and others,

    The key word there is 'between'. Do not include 100 in your Total Possible Outcomes. How many possible outcomes are there between 1 and 100 that are two-digit, and how may favourable outcomes (outcomes you want) are there.

    Hope this helps,

    Mr. R.

  7. it says the probability of winning a game is 40%.predict how many times you expect to win in each situation.
    a)if you play 10 times
    b)if you play 25 times
    c)if you play 50 times
    so would you take 40% and multiply it by 10 for a ) if not can you explain how to answer the question.

  8. Lucy,

    Yes. You are trying to find 40% of 10, 25, and 50. Winning 40% of the time is the same as saying you have a probability of 40/100. Now, we just need to figure out how many times you'd win if you were playing only 10 times, etc.

    HTH,

    Mr. R.
