3 pencils and 9 pens = 12 total
probability of picking pencil in 1st box is 3/12 which reduces to 1/4

7 pencils and 3 crayons = 10 total
probability of picking pencil from 2nd box is 7/10

probability of both = (1/4 * 7/10) = 7/40 <==

Out of the first box the possibility would be 3:12 or 3 out of 12. The second box would be 7:10 or 7 out of 10

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

  • It is the last graph: solid line, shaded area over the line x = 2 - x/2

Explanation:

1) <u>Set the algebraigic expression that represents the combinations of sofa and pillow orders:</u>

  • Number of sofas: x (given)
  • Number of pillows: 2y (given, since they come in pairs)
  • Number of items = number of sofas + number of pillows = x + 2y
  • Minimum of 4 items in each order (given) ⇒ x + 2y ≥ 4

<u>2) Predict the graph of the inequality x + 2y ≥ 4</u>

  • The border line is the equation x + 2y = 4
  • You can choose two points to draw a line
  • Choose the axis-intercepst:

        x = 0 ⇒ 2y = 4 ⇒ y =4/2 ⇒ y = 2 ⇒ point (0,2)

        y = 0 ⇒ x = 4 ⇒ point (4,0)

        Then the lines goes through (0,2) and (4,0) ... [the four graphs meet this]

  • The shading area is above the line because when you solve for y you get y ≥   2 - x/2, and the line is included because the "equal to" part of the symbol (≥ means greater than or equal to).

  •  To state that the line is included the graph uses a continous line instead of a dotted one.

<u>3) Conclusion:</u>

That means that the correct graph is the last one: solid line, shaded area over the line y = 2 - x/2.

Note: a more detailed graph would include the fact that the items cannot be negative, i.e. x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0, which would result in that the shaded area would be on the first quadrant.

Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
Ksju [112]

Tthe inequality that describes this graph is y ≤ 1/3x - 4/3

<h3>How to determine the linear inequality represented by the graph?</h3>

The graph that completes the question is added as an attachment

From the attached graph, we have the following points

(0, -1.3) and (3, -0.3)

The slope is calculated as:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

m = (-0.3 + 1.3)/(3 - 0)

Evaluate

m = 1/3

The equation is then calculated as:

y = m(x - x1) + y1

This gives

y = 1/3(x - 0) - 1.3

Evaluate

y = 1/3x - 4/3

From the graph, we have the following highlights:

  • The line of the graph is a closed line
  • The upper part is shaded

The first highlight above implies, the inequality can be any of ≥ and ≤

While the second highlight above implies, the inequality is ≤

Hence, the inequality that describes this graph is y ≤ 1/3x - 4/3
