Lauren drinks a variety of soft drinks. Over the past month, she has had 19 diet colas, 4 cans of lemonade, and 5 cans of root beer. a. Given this history, what is the probability that her next drink will be a diet cola? Lemonade? Root beer? b. What definition of probability should be used to answer this question?

a.

Probability of Diet Cola = 19/28

Probability of Lemonade = 4/28

Probability of Root Beer = 5/28

b. Theoretical Probability

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Diet Cola = 19

Lemonade = 4

Root Beer = 5

Required

Probability the her next drink will be

- Diet Cola

- Lemonade

- Root beer

To calculate the probability of each of the above, first we need to calculate the total number of drinks she's had

Total = Diet Cola + Lemonade + Root Beer

Total = 19 + 4 + 5

Total = 28

The probability that her next drink can be any of the above can then be calculated.

This is calculated by dividing each outcome by the total; as follows;

Probability of Diet Cola = 19/28

Probability of Lemonade = 4/28

Probability of Root Beer = 5/28

This type of probability is referred to as theoretical probability because it makes predictions base on previous occurrence of events.

there are many solutions.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

4x+6=4x^2+10x−4

step 2: subtract 4x^2+10x-4 from both sides.

4x+6−(4x^2+10x−4)=4x^2+10x−4−(4x^2+10x−4)

−4x^2−6x+10=0

step 3: factor left side of equation.

−2(2x+5)(x−1)=0

step 4: set factors equal to 0.

x=-5/2 or x=1
