Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question to calculate probability from odds. The formula is given as:

A formula for calculating probability from odds is P = Odds / (Odds + 1)

From the question , we are told that the odds of receiving a gift is

= 5:12

The probability of Jessica receiving a gift =

Probability = Odds / (Odds + 1)

P = 5/12 / ( 5/12 + 1)

P = (5/12)/ (17/12)

P = 5/12 × 12/17

= 5/17

Therefore, the probability of Jessica. receiving a gift is 5/17.

When graphing the inequality y ≤ 2x − 4, the boundary line needs to be graphed first. Which graph correctly shows the boundary l
Volgvan

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The boundary line follows the graph of y = 2x - 4 because it represents the line of maximum or minimum values the graph could take. y = 2x - 4 has a y-intercept of -4 because it is in slope-intercept form. It also has a slope of 2, so to find another point on the line, you can go up two and right one. Also, this inequality has a solid line because it is "less than or equal to" and a solid line represents the values that equal.
