For the first three balls that are chosen, the probability would be found by the following expression: 9/15*8/14*7/13 = 12/65  The numerator decreases since the number of new balls is decreasing with each one that is removed. The denominator decreases since the total number of tennis balls in the box is being decreased. For the second time that balls are chosen, the following expression is used: 6/15*5/14*4/13 = 10/273 The numerator starts with 6 since there are now fewer balls that are unused due to the ones previously have been used. These two fractions are then multiplied to find the total probability that none of the 6 balls were used. 12/65*10/273 = 8/1183

Total tennis balls = 15 balls
Previously not used balls = 9 balls
Previously used balls = 15 - 9 = 6 balls

Probability of getting first 3 balls that are not used previously = \frac{9}{15} ×  \frac{8}{14} ×  \frac{7}{13}

Now remaining total balls = 15 - 3 = 12
Balls that are not previously used = 9 - 3 = 6

Probability of getting next 3 balls that are not used previously = \frac{6}{12} ×  \frac{5}{11} ×  \frac{4}{10}

Probability = \frac{9}{15} ×  \frac{8}{14} ×  \frac{7}{13} × \frac{6}{12} ×  \frac{5}{11} ×  \frac{4}{10}

= 0.089

Answer:

They added 8 to each side,     --8 is +8    so we need to subtract - from each side not add 8 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a slope and a point

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--8 = -6(x-2)    

y+8 = -6(x-2)

Distribute the -6

y+8 = -6x+12

Subtract 8 from each side

      ERROR in the students work

They added 8 to each side,     --8 is +8    so we need to subtract - from each side not add 8 to each side

y+8-8 = -6x+12-8

y = -6x+4

The following table shows the speed that 4 animals traveled today. For example, the turtle traveled 6 meters in 5 minutes.
den301095 [7]

Answer:

  D.  Ant

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the speed in meters per minute, divide meters by minutes:

  turtle: 6/5

  snail: 4/8 = 1/2

  caterpillar: 7/7 = 1

  ant: 12/8 = 3/2 = 1.5

The ant traveled at a rate of 1.5 meters per minute.
