rds. suppose a game is played in which a candy is randomly taken from the bag, replaced, and then a second candy is drawn from the bag. if you are allowed to keep the second candy only if it was the same type a the one that was drawn the first time, calculate the probability of each of the following: a) you will keep a pack of fuzzy peaches b) you will be able to keep any of the candy c) you will not be able to keep any of the candy

The probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be 0.25.

<h3>How to calculate the probability?</h3>

a. Based on the information given, the probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be:

= 10/(10 + 7 + 3) × 10/(10 + 7 + 3)

= 10/20 × 10/20

= 1/4

= 0.25

The probability that the person will be able to keep a pack of fuzzy peaches will be 0.25.

b. The probability to be able to keep any of the candy will be:

= (10/20 × 10/20) + (7/20 × 7/20) + (3/20 × 3/20)

= 100/400 + 49/400 + 9/400

= 158/400

= 0.395

The probability to be able to keep any of the candy will be 0.395.

c. The probability that you will not be able to keep any of the candy will be:

= (10/20 × 10/20) + (7/20 × 13/20) + (3/20 × 17/20)

= 100/400 + 91/400 + 51/400

= 242/400

= 0.605

The probability that you will not be able to keep any of the candy will be 0.605.

How do i solve x squared = 4x -5
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

x = 2 ±i

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = 4x-5

Subtract 4x from each side

x^2 - 4x = 4x-5 -4x

x^2 - 4x= -5

Complete the square

Take the coefficient of the x term, divide by 2 and square it

-4/2 =2   2^2 =4

Add 4 to each side

x^2 -4x+4 = -5 +4

The left side is (x-coefficient of the x term/2)^2

(x-2)^2 = -1

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-2)^2) = sqrt(-1)

x-2 = ±i

Add 2 to each side

x-2+2 = 2 ±i

x = 2 ±i

The measures of the angles of a triangle are shown in the figure below. Solve for x.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

x=13

Step-by-step explanation:

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

6x-78

We move all terms containing x to the left, and all other terms to the right

6x=78

x=78/6

which should equal 13
