Answer:

1/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the event First person getting red velvet cake
Let B represent the event Second person getting red velvet cake

P(A) = Total number of Red Velvet Cakes ÷ Total Number of Cakes =

6/21 = 2/7

If the first person gets a red velvet cake, then there are 5 red velvet cakes and 20 total cakes

Therefore P(B|A) = Number of red velvet cakes left ÷ total number of cakes left = 5/20 = 1/4

P(A and B) == probability of both getting red velvet cake P(A∩B) = P(A).P(B|A) = 2/7 × 1/4 = 2/28 = 1/14

Answer:

(3, \infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the square root of an expression in the denominator.

A square root cannot have a negative number inside, but it can have zero or positive.

Since this square root is in the denominator, it also cannot have a zero inside; it can only have positive values inside. You must set the expression inside the square root greater than zero, and solve for x.

x - 3 > 0

x > 3

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle KPJ is going to have the same measure as Angle DPE. This problem is a bit tricky, but I'll try my best to explain it. A straight angle is basically just a straight line, and it equals 180 degrees. Angle FPG is a straight angle.

To find the measure of Angle KPJ, we first have to find the measure of angle DPE, and the way we're gonna do that is add together the other angles in the straight angle (which would be Angle FPD and Angle EPG) and then subtract that from 180 (measure of a straight angle).

That might have sounded a bit confusing, but that's the best way I could explain it. Now, let's add Angle FPD and Angle EPG.

105 + 35 = 140

Now, let's subtract that from 180.

180 - 140 = 40

We now know that the measure of Angle DPE is 40, and since it's equivalent to Angle KPJ, our answer is 40!

I know that was confusing, but I hope it helped a little bit! Have a lovely day!! :)
