There Are Only Red Sweets And Yellow Sweets In A Bag.There Are N Red Sweets In The Bag.There Are 8 Yellow

Answers

Answer 1

Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem:

In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

[tex]p = \frac{n}{n + 8}[/tex]

Supposing [tex]p = \frac{7}{10}[/tex], we solve for n:

[tex]\frac{n}{n + 8} = \frac{7}{10}[/tex]

[tex]10n = 7n + 56[/tex]

[tex]3n = 56[/tex]

[tex]n = \frac{56}{3}[/tex]

[tex]n = 18.67[/tex]

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]

the length of a rectangle is 5 more than twice its width. its perimeter is 70 cm. what is its area? show your solution

Answers

Answer:

[tex]250cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

length = 5 + 2w

width = w

P = Sum of all sides

P = 2 * (5 + 2w) + 2w

P = 10 + 4w + 2w

P = 6w + 10

Given Perimeter = 70cm

We substitute

6w + 10 = 70

6w = 70 - 10

6w = 60

w = 60/6

w = 10cm

Since length is 5 + 2w

length = 5 + (2 * 10)

length = 25cm

Area = lw

Area = 25 * 10

Area = [tex]250cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

let

A pair of equations is shown below:

y = 2x − 1
y = 4x − 5

Part A: In your own words, explain how you can solve the pair of equations graphically. Write the slope and y-intercept for each equation that you will plot on the graph to solve the equations. (6 points)

Part B: What is the solution to the pair of equations? (4 points)

Answers

Answer:

part A

y = 2x -1

the slope is 2/1 means it will be up 2 right 1 or down 2 left 1 the slope is positive

the y-int is -1

y = 4x -5

the slope is 4/1 means it will be up 4 right 1 or down 4 left 1 the slope is positive

the y-int is -5

part B  

the solution to this is (2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Part A:

y = 2x - 1

Slope = 2/1

Y intercept = -1

y = 4x -5

Slope = 4/1

Y intercept = -5

Part B:

x = 2    y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: To solve the pair of equations graphically, we need to plot the 2 lines on a graph, and look at where they intercept. Then we draw a vertical line from the intersection to the x axis and we know what x is equal to. Laslty, we draw another line (horizontal) from the intersetcion to the y axis and we know what y is equal to.

Equation of a line: y = mx + c

where mx is the slope and c is the y intercept

y = 2x - 1

Slope = 2/1 -- 2 divided by 1 because it goes 2 squares up and 1 to the right

y intercept = -1

y = 4x - 5

Slope = 4/1

y intercept = -5

Part B:

Solving for x:

Since we know that y = 2x - 1 but also 4x - 5, then:

2x - 1 = 4x - 5

2x + 4 = 4x

4 = 2x

x = 2

Solving for y:

Since we know that x = 2, we just have to replace it in one of the two equations, let's say y = 2x - 1. This would give us:

y = 2 x 2 - 1

y = 4 - 1

y = 3

There are 380 female students in a class. Male students make up 60% of the class. What is the total number of students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

If the males make up 60% of the class then

The females make up 100 - 60 = 40% of the class.

Females = 40% * x        where x = the class size.

380 = 40/100 * x

380*100 =38000

What happens to the decimal point when we multiply a whole number by 100?

Answers

There is a similar shortcut for multiplying decimal numbers by numbers such as 10, 100, and 1000: Move the decimal point to the right as many places as there are zeros in the factor. Move the decimal point one step to the right (10 has one zero). Move the decimal point two steps to the right (100 has two zeros).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a decimal by 100, move the decimal point in the multiplicant by two places to the right. Here we multiplied the number 98.26 by 100 so we move 2 places to the right. 3. To multiply a decimal by 1000, move the decimal point in the multiplicant by three places to the right

help ! which of the following are the roots of the given quadratic equation ?

[tex]2 {x}^{2} + 18x + 36 = 0[/tex]
a. 6

b. -6

c. 3

d. -3..​

Answers

Answer:

The roots are {-6, -3}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given four possible roots.  To determine whether or not a particular possible root is actually a root, we use synthetic division.  If the remainder is zero, we may conclude that this is actually a root.

Determine whether or not -3 is a root.  Setting up synthetic division, we get

-3  /  2    18     36

              -6    -36

     ---------------------

      2       12     0

Since the remainder is zero, -3 is a root.

Try -6:  Is this a root of 2x + 12?  Setting up synthetic division, we get

-6    /    2     12

                  -12

      ----------------

          2        0

The remainder is again zero, so -6 is also a root of the original equation.

The roots are {-6, -3}

suppose a traveler is selected from this sample at random. Let event A = home sharing and event B = fly. Are events A and B independent? No, P(A) = P(A|B). No, P(A) ≠ P(B|A). Yes, P(A) = P(A|B). Yes, P(A) ≠ P(B|A).

Answers

Answer:

Yes, P(A) = P(A|B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The context of the question is incomplete but I've assumed logically what it might be;

Whether a traveller flies or doesn't fly to their destination is unrelated to whether they home share or not;

Therefore, they are independent;

Independent events are events where the outcome of one event has no effect on the probabilities of the outcomes from a second event;

This can be represented mathematically as: P(A) = P(A|B);

The corollary of this is P(B) = P(B|A);

A common example easily understood would be if you flip a coin, there is a 50% chance of heads and 50% chance of tails;

If I flip and gets a heads first, the probability of getting a heads or tails on the second, third or tenth flip is going to be unchanged, i.e. 50% chance of heads and 50% chance of tails

Answers

Answer:

B 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

First we want to find the two solutions

We can do this by using the quadratic formula

Quadratic formula:

[tex] \frac{- b + or - \sqrt{b {}^{2} - 4(a)(c)} }{2(a)} [/tex]

Where the values of a,b and c are derived from the equation.

The equation is put in ax² + bx + c = 0 form

2x² + 7x - 15 = 0

so a = 2, b = 7 and c = - 15

We now plug these values into the quadratic formula

(-(7) + or - √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) / 2(2)

first solution: -(7) + √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) / 2(2)

remove parenthesis on 7

(-7 + √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) /2(2)

Apply exponents 7²

(-7 + √49 - 4(2)(-15) ) /2(2)

Multiply -4,2 and -15

(-7 + √49 + 120 ) / 2(2)

add 49 and 120

(-7 + √ 169 ) / 2(2)

Take square root of 169

(-7 + 13 ) / 2(2)

add 13 and -7

6/2(2)

multiply 2 and 2

= 6/4

The first solution is 6/4 or 1.5

Now the second solution: -(7) - √7² - 4(2)(-15) ) / 2(2)

For the second solution we basically go through the same steps as for finding the first solution, the only difference is instead of adding -b and √b² - 4(a)(c) we are subtracting.

So we would have ( -7 - 13 ) / 2(2) instead of (-7+13)/2(2)

So second solution: ( -7 - 13 ) / 2(2)

subtract 13 from -7

-20/2(2)

multiply 2 and 2

-20/4

divide

The second solution is -5

Now that we have found the solutions we want to find r - s if r and s are the solutions to the equation and that r > s

The two solutions are 6/4 and -5.

6/4 > -5 so we know that r must equal 6/4 and s must equal -5 because r has to be greater than s

So if r = 6/4 and s = -5

Then r - s = 6/4 - (-5) = 6/4 + 5 = 13/2

So the answer is B. 13/2
