X = larger number and y = smaller number

x + y = 153....x = 153 - y
x - 4y = 18

153 - y - 4y = 18
153 - 5y = 18
-5y = 18 - 153
-5y = -135
y = -135/-5
y = 27 <=== smaller number

x - 4y = 18
x - 4(27) = 18
x - 108 = 18
x = 18 + 108
x = 126 <== larger number

In a carnival​ game, the player selects a ball one at a​ time, without​ replacement, from an urn containing twotwo purplepurple
dezoksy [38]
<span>The urn contains 2 purple balls and 4 white balls. The player pay $4 for start the game and get $1.5 for every ball drawn until one purple ball is drawn. The maximal revenue would be $7.5 when 4 white balls and 1 purple balls are drawn.
If the purple ball is p and white ball is w, t</span>he possible sample space of drawings are {p, wp, wwp, wwwp, wwwwp}

<span>1. Write down the probability distribution for the player earning

The player earning </span>for each event depends on the number of balls drawn subtracted the ticket price.<span>
p= 2/6
The player earnings would be: 1*$1.5 -$4= - $2.5
wp= (4*2)/(6*5) = 4/15
</span>The player earnings would be: 2*1.5- $4= - $1
wwp= (4*3*2)/(6*5*4)= 1/5
The player earnings would be: 3*$1.5 -$4= $0.5
wwwp= (4*3*2*2)/(6*5*4*3*2)= 2/15 
The player earnings would be: 4*$1.5 -$4= $2
wwwwp= (4*3*2*2*1)/(6*5*4*3*2*1) = 1/15
The player earnings would be: 5*$1.5 -$4=  $3.5

2. Find its expected value

The expected value would be:
chance of event * earning 
You need to combine the 5 possible outcomes from the number 1 to get the total expected value.

Total expected value= (1/3 * - 2.5)+ (4/15*-1) + (1/5*0.5) + (2/15 *2) + ( 1/15 *3.5)= 
(-12.5  -4 + 1.5 + 4 + 3.5) /15= -$7.5
This game basically a rip off.

Write the equation of a line that is
zvonat [6]

Answer:

y=0.5x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is parallel, this means that the slope remains the same which is 0.5.

The remaining thing to do is to find b or y-intercept. To do that, the point (6,-2) and the slope of 0.5 will be used.

-2=0.5(6)+b

When solving for b, it will equal to -5.

Therefore the new equation that is parallel is y=0.5x-5

Triangle ABC has vertices A(–2, –3), B(–5, –3), and C(–4, –2). The triangle is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin.
Ulleksa [173]
The rule for this rotation is (x, y) converted into (-y, x). So, to find the answer you would make the y negative and switch the values in the ordered pair. A would be (3, -2), B would be (3, -5), and C would be (2, -4). So, your answer would be B. Hope this helps!
