Y=2x+b

substitute -2 for x and 5 for y
5=2(-2)+b4

Solve for b
b=9

The equation is
y=2x+9

1 gallon = 4 quarts.

15 quarts/ 4 = 3.75 gallons

1 hour = 60 minutes

3.75 gallons / 60 minutes = 0.625 gallons per minute.

Suppose that a box contains r red balls and w white balls. Suppose also that balls are drawn from the box one at a time, at rand

dybincka [34]

Answer: Part a) $P(a)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

part b) $P(b)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}+\frac{r}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is calculated as follows:

We have proability of any event E = $P(E)=\frac{Favourablecases}{TotalCases}$

For part a)

Probability that a red ball is drawn in first attempt = $P(E_{1})=\frac{r}{r+w}$

Probability that a red ball is drawn in second attempt= $P(E_{2})=\frac{r-1}{r+w-1}$

Probability that a red ball is drawn in third attempt = $P(E_{3})=\frac{r-2}{r+w-1}$

Generalising this result

Probability that a red ball is drawn in [tex}i^{th}[/tex] attempt = $P(E_{i})=\frac{r-i}{r+w-i}$

Thus the probability that events $E_{1},E_{2}....E_{i}$ occur in succession is

$P(E)=P(E_{1})\times P(E_{2})\times P(E_{3})\times ...$

Thus $P(E)$ = $\frac{r}{r+w}\times \frac{r-1}{r+w-1}\times \frac{r-2}{r+w-2}\times ...\times \frac{1}{w}\\\\P(E)=\frac{r!}{(r+w)!}\times (w-1)!$

Thus our probability becomes

$P(E)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

Part b)

The event " r red balls are drawn before 2 whites are drawn" can happen in 2 ways

1) 'r' red balls are drawn before 2 white balls are drawn with probability same as calculated for part a.

2) exactly 1 white ball is drawn in between 'r' draws then a red ball again at $(r+1)^{th}$ draw

We have to calculate probability of part 2 as we have already calculated probability of part 1.

For part 2 we have to figure out how many ways are there to draw a white ball among (r) red balls which is obtained by permutations of 1 white ball among (r) red balls which equals $\binom{r}{r-1}$

Thus the probability becomes $P(E_i)=\frac{\binom{r}{r-1}}{\binom{r+w}{r}}=\frac{r}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

Thus required probability of case b becomes $P(E)+ P(E_{i})$

= $P(b)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}+\frac{r}{\binom{r+w}{r}}\\\\$

What is the solution to 5/6x-1/3>1 1/3

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{6}x-1>1\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{5}{6}x-1>\frac{4}{3}\\\\\frac{5}{6}x>\frac{4}{3}+1\\\\\frac{5}{6}x>\frac{4}{3}+\frac{3}{3}\\\\\frac{5}{6}x>\frac{7}{3}\\\\x>\frac{7}{3}*\frac{6}{5}\\\\x>\frac{7*2}{5}\\x>\frac{14}{5}\\\\x>2\frac{4}{5}$
