Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the total number of students

The total number of students is given as 300.

Step 2: Identify the number of girls who chose apples

From the table, the number of girls who chose apples is 46.

Step 3: Calculate the probability

The probability \( P \) that a randomly selected student is a girl who chose apples is calculated as: \[ P = \frac{\text{Number of girls who chose apples}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{46}{300} \]

Step 4: Simplify the probability

Simplify the fraction: \[ P = \frac{46}{300} \approx 0.1533 \]

Step 5: Round the probability to the hundredth place

Rounding 0.1533 to the hundredth place gives: \[ P \approx 0.15 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{0.15}\)

Each sketch shows three objects with an electric charge. In each case, decide whether the net force on the object outlined in green is to the left, or to the right, or if there is no net force acting on the object outlined in green. There is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. For example, if there is a net force pushing the green object to the left, select the left arrow. If there is no net force on the green object in that sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. Select the right arrow under the third sketch if there is a net force pushing the green object to the right.

X-rays have a wavelength small enough to image individual atoms, but are challenging to detect because of their typical frequency. Suppose an X-ray camera uses X-rays with a wavelength of 9.24 nm. Calculate the frequency of the X-rays. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. PHz
