Answer:

The correct answer is B  \frac{1}{125}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The fist step is to determine the probability of selecting a non-compliant valve from the first batch. Since there are 5 non-compliant valves in the batch out of 50 , we determine that the probability of finding a non-compliant valve is P(A)=\frac{5}{50}.

Step 2

The second step is to determine the probability of selecting a non-compliant valve from the second batch. Since there are 4 non-compliant valves in the batch out of 50 , we determine that the probability of finding a non-compliant valve is P(B)=\frac{4}{50}.

Step 3

The last step is to determine the probability of getting non-compliant valves both times. Since the two events are independent of each other, we find the probability by multiplying the probability  of both events. The calculation is carried out as shown below,

P(A)\times P(B)=\frac{5}{50} \times\frac{4}{50} =\frac{20}{2500} =\frac{1}{125}.

The probability of 2 non-compliant valves is \frac{1}{125}.

which of the following expresses the coordinates of the foci of the conic section shown below? (x-2)^2/4+(y+5)^2/9
elena55 [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{(x - 2) {}^{2} }{4}  +  \frac{(y + 5) {}^{2} }{9}  = 1

This is the equation of the ellipse. Since the denominator is greater for the y values, we have a vertical ellipse. Remember a>b, so a

The formula for the foci of the vertical ellipse is

(h,k+c) and (h,k-c).

where c is

Our center (h,k) is (2, -5)

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  -  {b}^{2}

Here a^2 is 9, b^2 is 4.

{c}^{2}  = 9 - 4

{c}^{2}  = 5

c =  \sqrt{5}

So our foci is

(2, - 5 +  \sqrt{5} )

and

(2, - 5 -  \sqrt{5} )

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

21kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We will do this.

11x - 12 = 7x

11x - 4x = 7x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

3 x 7 = 21

Laura weighs 21 kg.
