Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 58.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that they are different is the opposite of the probability that they are the same.

The probability that they are the same is:

P(plain, plain) = (12/20) (11/19) = 132 / 380

P(chocolate, chocolate) = (5/20) (4/19) = 20 / 380

P(currant, currant) = (3/20) (2/19) = 6 / 380

P(same) = 132/380 + 20/380 + 6/380

P(same) = 158/380

P(same) = 79/190

Therefore, the probability that they are different is:

P(different) = 1 − 79/

Answer 2

[tex]\frac{111}{190}[/tex]  is the  probability that the two biscuits were of not the same type.

What is Probability?

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty.

According to question, Carolyn has 20 biscuits in a tin.

She has 12 plain biscuits, 5 chocolate biscuits and 3 ginger biscuits

Carolyn takes at random two biscuits from the tin.

We have to find out  the probability that the two biscuits were of  not the same type.

             P(plain biscuit, plain biscuit)  [tex]=(\frac{12}{20} )(\frac{11}{19} )=\frac{132}{380}[/tex]

P(chocolate biscuit, chocolate biscuit)[tex]=(\frac{5}{20})(\frac{4}{19} )=\frac{20}{380}[/tex]

          P(ginger biscuit, ginger biscuit)[tex]=(\frac{3}{20}) (\frac{2}{19})=\frac{6}{380}[/tex]

Probability of same type of biscuits

[tex]=\frac{132}{380} +\frac{20}{380}+\frac{6}{380}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{79}{190}[/tex]

The probability that the two biscuits were not of the same type.

[tex]=1-\frac{79}{190}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{111}{190}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that [tex]\frac{111}{190}[/tex]  is the  probability that the two biscuits were not of the same type.

Solve the system equation for X and using the elimination method .
- 2x + Зу = -1
2х + 5y= 25

Answers

Answer: 2х+5y=25=  Slope = -0.800/2.000 = -0.400

 x-intercept = 25/2 = 12.50000

 y-intercept = 25/5 = 5

so slope form =0,400

x intercept form = 12.50000

y intercept =5

and the answer to 2x+3y=-1=  Slope = 1.333/2.000 = 0.667

 x-intercept = 1/2 = 0.50000

 y-intercept = -1/3 = -0.33333

Step-by-step explanation:  an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  2x+5y-25  = 0 and calculate its properties

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 5/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 5.00000

 y-intercept = 25/5  =  5

When y = 0 the value of x is 25/2 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=12.50000

 x-intercept = 25/2  = 12.50000

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 5.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 4.200. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 4.200 - 5.000 = -0.800 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     = -0.800/2.000 = -0.400  

Geometric figure: Straight Line

 Slope = -0.800/2.000 = -0.400

 x-intercept = 25/2 = 12.50000

 y-intercept = 25/5 = 5

The length and width of a rectangle are in a ratio of 7:11. If the perimeter of the
rectangle is 72 cm. Find the
length and
width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

14cm and 22cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Perimeter of rectangle  = 72cm

Ratio of length to width  = 7: 11

Unknown:

Length and width of the rectangle  = ?

Solution:

Since the ratio of length to width is 7: 11,

  if the length is 7x , width = 11x

 The perimeter of a rectangle can be obtained using

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

  Insert the parameters and solve;

          72  = 2(7x + 11x )

          72 = 2(18x)

           x  = [tex]\frac{72}{36}[/tex]  = 2

The length = 7x  = 7x2 = 14cm

        width  = 11x = 11 x 2 = 22cm

Answers

Answer:

a(t) = 487(1/2)^(t/36)a(5) = 442.302 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function for half-life problems is easily written using 1/2 as the base of the exponent.

  present value = (initial value) × (1/2)^(t/(half-life))

Then the amount (a) remaining after t days is ...

  a(t) = 487 × (1/2)^(t/36)

__

After 5 days, the amount remaining is ...

  a(5) = 487×(1/2)^(5/36) ≈ 442.302 kg

_____

Some folks like their exponential function to be written using e as the base for the exponent. Here, that would be ...

  a(t) = 487·e^(-0.019254t)

where the constant in the exponent is -ln(2)/36.

What is the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [-2, 6] for the function y = 5x + 2?

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Average rate of change is slope, which is change in y over change in x:

[tex]\frac{[5(6)+2]-[5(-2)+2]}{6-(-2)} =\frac{32-(-8)}{8} =5[/tex]

The average rate of change of the function is 5.

What is the average rate of change of a function?

The sum of the change in the function values (output values) divided by the change in the input values is the average rate of change between two input values.

The given interval is [-2,6] and the given function is f(x) = y = 5x + 2.

The value of the function for x = 6 is:

f(6) = 5(6) + 2

f(6) = 32

The value of f(x) for x = -2 is:

f (-2) = 5(-2) + 2

f(-2) = -10 + 2

f(-2) = -8

The average rate of change of the function is given by:

( f(6) - f(-2) )/ (6 - (-2))

= ( 32 - (-8))/ (6 + 2)

= ( 32 + 8)/8

= 40/8

= 5

Hence, the average rate of change of the function is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is that the exterior angle (ACD) is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles (the two marked angles on the right).

You are expected to use this relation to write and solve an equation.

  exterior angle = angle D + angle B

  (2x +16) = 58 + (x+12)

  2x +16 = x +70

  x + 16 = 70

  x = 54

Then angle ACD is ...

  angle ACD = (2x +16)° = (2·54 +16)°

  angle ACD = 124°
