<h3>What is the meaning of Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the stream in mathematics in which likeliness of an event to happen is studied.

The range of probability lies between 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that anna, becky, christina, debbie, and esther are the five candidates for student representative for the school board.

two students will be selected, and they will alternate attending the school board meetings.

all five students are equally well qualified, so the school superintendent decides to draw names at random.

probability he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = ?

Probability of chosing debbie is 1/5

Probability of choosing Esther is also 1/5

Either of them if chosen first the probability is 1/5

and the either of them chosen second the probability is 1/4

Probability that he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20 .

Answer:

m=4/3

b=0

Step-by-step explanation:

m= is the slope, which is 4/3 and b is the y intercept, which is (0,0). The equation would be y=4/3x+0 but we do not have to include the 0 making it y=4/3x. The equation is proportional becuase it goes through the point (0,0) and it is linear as it is a linear line.

Solve the following system of equations algebraically<br> 3x-y=0<br> 5x+2y=22
Lyrx [107]

3x  -  y  = 0     ⇒   2(3x  -  y  = 0 )   ⇒   6x - 2y = 0

5x + 2y = 22  ⇒   1(5x + 2y = 22)   ⇒   <u>5x + 2y</u> = <u>22 </u>

                                                              11x         = 22

                                                                x          = 2

3x  -  y  = 0   ⇒   3(2) - y = 0   ⇒   6 - y = 0   ⇒   6 = y

Answer: x=2, y=6
