|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

Answer:

N_{a} = T_{a}

N_{c} = 2 \times T_{c}

Step-by-step explanation:

Alejandro has read 28 pages so far and he can read 1 page per minute.

Again, Carly has read 12 pages so far and he can read 2 pages per minute.

If the variable N represents the number of pages read by the readers and T in minutes represents the time spent by the reader to read this number of pages, then  

For Alejandro: N_{a} = 1 \times T_{a} = T_{a} ......... (1)

For Carly: N_{c} = 2 \times T_{c} .......... (2)

So, the equations (1) and (2) gives the number of pages that Alejandro and Carly read. (Answer)

Answer:

Average day end balance using weighted average = $1,316.667

Average day end balance using simple average = $1,050

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided opening balance = $1,200

During the month addition in such balance = $500

New balance as on 16 November = $1,200 + $500 = $1,700

Further by the end of month of November balance after payment = $1,700 - $800

= $900

Thus, opening balance = $1,200

Closing = $900

Simple average = \frac{1,200 + 9,00}{2} = 1,050

Day end balance = $1,050

For this weighted average can be done

First 15 days balance = $1,200 as no transaction was done.

From 16  to 25 November balance increased by $500 = $1,700 for 10 days

Remaining days = 5 days = $1,700 - $800 paid = $900

Using weighted average we have

\frac{(1,200 \times 15) + (1,700 \times 10) + (900 \times 5)}{30} = \frac{39,500}{30} = 1,316.667

Day end balance = $1,316.667

Answer:

-120

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 45 to both sides

m/8 = -15

multiply by 8 on both sides.

with the fraction just multiply by the bottom number to make m by itself.

m = -15*8

m= -120
