By definition of conditional probability,

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) / P(sum is not 6)

There are 4 ways of rolling the dice to get a sum of 5 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1)

so P(sum is 5) = 4/36 = 1/9.

There are 5 ways of getting a sum of 6 out of 36 possible outcomes:

(1, 5), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 2), (5, 1)

hence 31 ways of *not* getting a sum of 6, so P(sum is not 6) = 31/36.

The sum is 5 and *not* 6 simultaneously for the 4 ways already listed above, so the intersection of these two events is those 4 ways, which means

P(sum is 5 AND sum is not 6) = 1/9

Then

P(sum is 5 | sum is not 6) = (1/9) / (31/36) = 4/31

Merle has an offer from a credit card issuer for a 0% APR for the first 60 days and a 23.19% APR afterwards, compounded daily. W
Andreyy89

To find the rate add 1 to the annual rate divided by 365 days raised to the number of days left in the year minus 1.

 r= (1 + 0.2319/365)^305 - 1

r = 0.2138

Now multiply by 100 for the percent:

0.2138 x 100  = 21.38%

Which statements are true about the linear inequality y > 3/4x – 2? Check all that apply. The slope of the line is –2. The gr
pishuonlain [190]
You can draw the area bounded by the unequality y\ \textgreater \  \frac{3}{4} x-2 in following way:

1. Draw a dashed line y=\frac{3}{4} x-2 with a slope \frac{3}{4} (a dashed, because all points from this line, for example when x=0, y=-2 do not belong to the area);

2. Define which part (under the line or over the line) is suitable by substituting values. For example, when x=0 and y=0 you obtain that 0\ \textgreater \  \frac{3}{4} \cdot 0-2 is a right unequality, that means that the point (0,0) is a solution and belongs to the area;

3. Shade that part of the plane to which point (0,0) belongs, you receive the area over the line (see image).

From the done steps you can see that only fourth statement is true.

Solve the system by submission -5y-10=x<br> x+9y=-2
Sonbull [250]

Answer:  =−20

y=2

​

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for xx in -5y-10=x−5y−10=x.

x=-5y-10

x=−5y−10

2 Substitute x=-5y-10x=−5y−10 into x+9y=-2x+9y=−2.

4y-10=-2

4y−10=−2

3 Solve for yy in 4y-10=-24y−10=−2.

y=2

y=2

4 Substitute y=2y=2 into x=-5y-10x=−5y−10.

x=-20

x=−20

5 Therefore,

\begin{aligned}&x=-20\\&y=2\end{aligned}

​

 

x=−20

y=2
