Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve with combination formula

C(n, r) = nCr = n!/r!( n - r)!

The selection will happen between four women and six men

Total number of people = Total number of possibly outcomes = Four women + six men

= 10 people

This can happen in two ways

a) 2 women

b) 1 man and 1 woman

The probability that at least one woman is selected =

4C2 ×(6C1 + 4C1)÷ 2 ways / 10C2

[6 × (6+ 4)] ÷ 2 / 45

= (6 × 10) ÷ 2/45

= 30/45

= 2/3

creativ13 [48]

Answer: [0, 396]

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the acceptable values of x in the function.  In this case, x = t, the number of tiles.  If you think about it, the minimum number of tiles is 0 (you can't have a negative number of tiles), and the maximum number of tiles is 44 (you only have 44 tiles).  So, the domain for this function is from 0 to 44.

0 to 44 written in interval notation is [0,44].

The range is the acceptable values of y in the function.  In this case, y = A, the area given.  A(t) = 9t, so you can use the acceptable values of t to get the range.  Again, the minimum area is 0 because you can't have negative area. To find the maximum area, plug in the maximum number of tiles: 9.

A(t) = 9t

A = 9(44)

A = 396

With the maximum number of tiles, 44, the area you get is 396 cm².  Therefore, the acceptable values of A are from 0 to 396.

0 to 396 written in interval notation is [0, 396].

Can someone please help me with this problem? You need to find the value of x and y by using the strategy of ELIMINATION. Please
Setler [38]

Answer:

x = 136/35; y = -⁹/₁₀

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)         7x + 8y = 20

(2)        7x – 2y = 29       Subtract (2) from (1)

                  10y =  -9        Divide each side by 10

(3)                 y =  -⁹/₁₀     Substitute (3) into (1)

      7x - 2(-⁹/₁₀) = 29

      7x + 18/10  = 29                       Subtract 18/10 from each side

      7x              =      29 - 18/10

      7x              = (290 - 18)/10

      7x              =          272/10        Divide each side by 7

        x              =           272/70

        x              =           136/35

x = 136/35; y = -⁹/₁₀

Check:

(1) 7(136/35) + 8(-⁹/₁₀) = 20

      136/5    -   72/10 = 20

      136/5    -   36/5  = 20

                      100/5  = 20

                       20      = 20

(2) 7(136/35) – 2(-⁹/₁₀)  = 29

       136/5    +    18/10 = 29

       136/5    +      ⁹/₅    = 29

                        145/5  = 29

                        29       = 29

Write an expression to represent this situation: seven less than the product of four and a number please help me
Studentka2010 [4]
4x-7: "seven less than" means you're going to subtract it from the upcoming value, which is "the product of four and a number". "a number" refers to an unknown variable, which I chose to be x. So put it all together and you get 4x-7
