Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

2 mint sticks,

9 jelly treats, and

9 fruit tart chews.

Sample space = {2+9+9} = 20

N/B this is done without replacement since the candy are eaten Hence after each selection the candy and the sample size reduces

1.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 9/20

2.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 8/19

Hence the probability of her first two pieces will both

be jelly i= 9/20*8/19= 72/380

= 18/95

Answer:

18.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case what we must do is calculate the probability of eating a jelly treats first and then another jelly treats, being the final probability the multiplication of these events.

We know that there are 20 in total and that initially there are 9 jelly treats, so the first event is the probability:

9/20  

And the second event, with one less in each, would be:

8/19

The final probability then:

9/20 * 8/19 = 0.1895

So the probability of this happening is 18.95%

Find the measure of each angle using the triangle sum theorem and exterior angle theorem
Paladinen [302]

(please open my photo for reference as you read, I am a visual learner/explainer so it will make the most sense that way)

So the first thing you want to do is look at the exterior angle 130°. A straight line is 180°, and every Triangle's angular sum is 180°. How I think of it is that every straight line has a mini protractor on either side. It makes it a bit easier to understand.

180 - 130 = 50

You now know that two of the angles are 50°.

You now have two of the measurements for the triangle farthest to the left.

75° and 50°

75 + 50 = 125

180 - 125 = 55

a = 55°

Now that you have all the measurements for the first triangle, let's move onto the next one.

With two measurements for the second triangle, all you need to do is find their sum and subtract that from 180 and you will have the third measurement!

50 + 60 = 110

180 - 110 = 70

b = 70°


Finally, for the last triangle, you already have two of the measurements 60° and 85°.


85 + 60 = 145

180 - 145 = 35

c = 35°


Sorry if this explanation is a bit messy, it's hard to describe certain things without a letter or some kind of name to differentiate between them verbally.


I hope this helps! <3

9TH GRADE FUNCTIONS PLEASE HELP
pantera1 [17]

Answer: g(x) is -x² -3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you know that the parabola is facing downwards, so the x must be negative.

Next, it is 3 units down from the parent graph, which adds that -3.

All of these add up to get your final equation:

g(x) is -x² -3
