A circle is inscribed inside a square. If a point inside the square is selected at random, what is the probability that the point will also be inside the circle?
A circle is inscribed inside a square. If a point inside the square is selected at random, what is the probability that the point will also be inside the circle?
Tap to reveal answer
The probability of the point being inside the circle is the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square. If we suppose that the circle has radius r, then the square must have side 2r. The area of the circle is πr2 and the area of the square is 〖(2r)〗2=〖4r〗2, so the proportion of the areas is (πr2)/〖4r〗2 =π/4.

A bag contains 6 green marbles, 5 blue, and 9 red. What is the probability that you will select two green marbles from the bag?
Tap to reveal answer
There are 20 total marbles. Selecting the first green marble has a 6/20 chance, the second green marble has a 5/19 chance. This gives a total chance of 30/380, or a 3/38 chance.

A fair die is rolled 30 times. How many times would you expect a 2 or a 6 to be rolled?
Tap to reveal answer
There is a 1/3 chance that a 2 or 6 will come up for any given roll. The probability that one will come up in 30 rolls is (1/3) * 30 = 10
A 2 or 6 will, on average, appear 10 times in 30 rolls.

A coin is flipped 4 times. What is the probability of getting 4 heads in a row?
Tap to reveal answer
The probability a heads will show on any flip is 1/2. To find the probability of 4 consecutive heads, multiply the probability of each individual flip together.
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16

The average for 24 students on a test is 81%. Two more students take the test, averaging 74% between the two of them. What is the total class average (to the closest hundreth) if these two students are added to the 24?
The average for 24 students on a test is 81%. Two more students take the test, averaging 74% between the two of them. What is the total class average (to the closest hundreth) if these two students are added to the 24?
Tap to reveal answer
The easiest way to solve this is to consider the total scores as follows:
Group 1: 81 * 24 = 1944
Group 2: 74 * 2 = 148
Therefore, the total percentage points earned for the class is 148 + 1944 = 2092. The new class average will be 2092/26 or 80.46. (For our purposes, this is 80.46%.)

What is the probability of choosing three hearts in three draws from a standard deck of playing cards, if replacement of cards is not allowed?
What is the probability of choosing three hearts in three draws from a standard deck of playing cards, if replacement of cards is not allowed?
Tap to reveal answer
The standard deck of cards has 52 cards: 13 cards in 4 suits.
Ways to choose three hearts: 13 * 12 * 11 = 1716
Ways to choose three cards: 52 * 51 * 50 = 132600
Probability is a number between 0 and 1 that is defines as the total ways of what you want ÷ by the total ways
The resulting simplified fraction is 11/850

The average age of a certain group of 20 people is 25 years old. Another group of 10 people with an average age of 40 years comes in and joins the first group. What is the average age of the new group?
Tap to reveal answer
We cannot just take the average of the ages 25 and 40, which is 32.5 years old.
Instead, we need to take a weighted average, taking into account the varying number of people in each group.
Take the average age of each group and multiply it by the number of people in that group and then take the sum. Next divide by the total number of people to get the weighted average age of the new group.
(20 * 25 + 10 * 40)/30 = 30

To find the average you add all the games and divide by the number of games. In this case we have 112 + 134 + x = 246 + x. If we divide by 3 and set our answer to 132, we can solve for x by cross multiplying and solving algebraically. We can also solve this problem using substitution.

The columns of the table will represent the students who have a curfew or do not have a curfew and the rows will contain the students who are on honor roll or are not on honor roll. The first bit of information that we were given from the question was that
students had a curfew; therefore,
needs to go in the "curfew" column as the row total. Next, we were told that of those students,
were on honor roll; therefore, we need to put
in the "curfew" column and in the "honor roll" row. Then, we were told that
students do not have a curfew, but were on honor roll, so we need to put
in the "no curfew" column and the "honor roll" row. Finally, we were told that
students do not have a curfew or were on honor roll, so
needs to go in the "no curfew" column and "no honor roll" row. If done correctly, you should create a table similar to the following:

Our question asked how many students were on honor roll. We add up the numbers in the "honor roll" row to get the total:
![\frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}51\ +\ 17\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \space 68}](https://vt-vtwa-assets.varsitytutors.com/vt-vtwa/uploads/formula_image/image/980518/gif.latex)
This means that
students were on honor roll.
To help answer this question, we can construct a two-way table and fill in our known quantities from the question.

A teacher at a high school conducted a survey of freshman and found that
students had a curfew and
of those students were also honor roll students. There were
students that did not have a curfew, but were on the honor roll. Last, they found that
students did not have a curfew nor were on the honor roll. Given this information, how many students were not on the honor roll?

Our question asked how many students were not on honor roll. We add up the numbers in the "no honor roll" row to get the total, but first we need to fill in a gap in our table, students who have a curfew, but were not on honor roll. We can take the total number of students that have a curfew,
, and subtract the number of students who are on honor roll, 
![\frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}93\ -\ 51\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \space 42}](https://vt-vtwa-assets.varsitytutors.com/vt-vtwa/uploads/formula_image/image/980628/gif.latex)
This means that
students who have a curfew, aren't on honor roll.
Now, we add up the numbers in the "no honor roll" row to get the total:
![\frac{\begin{array}[b]{r}42\ +\ 21\end{array}}{ \ \ \ \space 63}](https://vt-vtwa-assets.varsitytutors.com/vt-vtwa/uploads/formula_image/image/980630/gif.latex)
