A hat contains pieces of paper marked with the numbers 1 through 16. Tell whether picking an even number is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, likely, or certain. Tell whether the probability is 0, close to 0, 1 2 , close to 1, or 1. Complete the sentence to answer. Picking an even number is . The probability is

Likely = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- From the set of numbers from 1 through 16. We will list and count the even numbers.

                  U = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16}

                  Even =  {2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 16}

- The count of even numbers would be:

                 Count ( U ) = 16

                 Count (Even) = 8

- The probability to a pick piece of paper with an even number would be:

                P ( Even ) = Count (Even) / Count (U)

                                 = 8 / 16

                                 = 1/2

- Hence, picking an even number is likely with a probability of 1/2.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
