Probability problem

by huajun78, Apr 4, 2025, 1:24 AM

A spinner is colored with 5 red sectors and 5 black sectors, with each sector of equal area. Two sectors
are then randomly labeled W. I then spin the spinner twice. What is the probability that in both
spins, I land on a sector labeled W that is red?

Mathcounts state iowa

by iwillregretthisnamelater, Mar 20, 2025, 4:55 AM

Ok I’m a 6th grader in Iowa who got 38 in chapter which was first, so what are the chances of me getting in nats? I should feel confident but I don’t. I have a week until states and I’m getting really anxious. What should I do? And also does the cdr count in Iowa? Because I heard that some states do cdr for fun or something and that it doesn’t count to final standings.

Simple problem on percentages

by ohiorizzler1434, Feb 20, 2024, 11:01 PM

Fanum and Kai Cenat are getting taxed. If Fanum's tax increases by 60%, then Fanum will be taxed 24 dollars. If Kai Cenat's tax increases by 20%, then he would also be taxed 24 dollars.

How much more is Kai Cenat taxed than Fanum?
