There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15

Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.

The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think. 

The semi right answer is B <<<<---- 

If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.

Answer is 2/15

There are initially <span>4+6=10</span> chips in the bag, so the probability of the first chip drawn being white is:

<span><span>4/10</span>=<span>2/5</span></span>

Having drawn a white chip there are then 3 white chips left in the bag out of a total <span>3+6=9</span> chips. So the probability of the second chip also being white is:

<span><span>3/9</span>=<span>1/3</span></span>

So the probability of drawing two white chips is:

<span><span>2/5x</span><span>1/3</span>=<span><span>2/15</span></span></span>

I NEED ANSWER SUPER BAD PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!What is the greatest integer less than 100 for which the greatest common divisor of tha
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

We will list out the numbers which are factors of 12. They include:

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12.

We need to get the highest number that has its greatest factor to be 4. It means that 6 and 12 cannot divide it.

To do this, we will write out the multiples of 4. They include:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88,92,96.

We will have to choose the highest number which only 4  can divide and  6 and 12 cannot divide.

Since we are looking for the largest, We can try dividing all the numbers by 4, 6, and 12 starting from 96.

We will quickly see that 4 can divide 92 but 6 and 12 cannot.

This gives us 92 as the answer.

If g(x) = {(4, -5), (-3, 2), (-6, 1), (1,0)}, which set of ordered pairs represents
Ket [755]

Answer:

The inverse of g(x) is {(-5, 4), (2, -3), (1, -6), (0, 1)} ⇒ (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the inverse of a function switch x and y

<u>Example:</u>

If f(x) = {(1, 2), (-4, 5), (0, 0)}

To find its inverse switch x and y in each ordered pair

The inverse of f(x) = {(2, 1), (5, -4), (0, 0)}

<em>Let us do the same with our question</em>

∵ g(x) = {(4, -5), (-3, 2), (-6, 1), (1, 0)}

→ Switch x and y coordinates in all ordered pair

∴ The inverse of g(x) = {(-5, 4), (2, -3), (1, -6), (0, 1)}

<em>Look at the answer to find the correct choice</em>

It is (A)

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

(X+8)(x-10

Step-by-step explanation:

The middle number is -2 and the last number is -80.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -2

Multiply together to get -80Try 8 and -10:

8+-10 = -2

8*-10 = -80

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with 8 and -10 to get...

(x+8)(x-10)

What is 5.8x10^6 seconds in minutes
Troyanec [42]
Let x be the number of minutes of 5.8*10^6 seconds.
Each minute is made of 60 seconds. Let's then use the rule of three:

60 seconds --> 1 minute
5.8*10^6 --> x minutes

x = (5.8*10^6)*1 / 60
x ≈ 96,666.66 minutes.

So 5.8*10^6 seconds is about 96,666.66 minutes.

Hope this Helps! :)
