You have six books on yourself. You notice that three of them have red covers, and three of them have blue covers, if you choose

2 books at random what is the probability that one will have a red cover and one will have a blue cover?

I think it has to be this, but please think about it. It's not so simple:

6 books, 3 red and 3 blue. The red books are indistinguishable from each other. Same for the blue ones.

Then, there are these many ways of putting them on the shelf (combinations with repetition):

6!/(3!3!)=6*5*4*3!/(3! 3*2*1) = 5*4 = 20 ways!

Now in order to get one red and one blue: there are only 2 ways:

RB or BR,

So the probability should be:

P = 2/20 = 1/10.

If you know you have six books in total, then calculating the probability of the other two possible outcomes should be easy.

*P that 1 will have a red cover = 3/6 (which, if you simplify it, should be equal to 1/2)
*P that 1 will have a blue cover = 3/6 (which again, if you simplify it, should be equal to 1/2)

NEED HELP A triangle is cut from a rectangle. The height of the triangle is half of the unknown side length s. The area of the s
Nesterboy [21]

Answer: 14s - 7s/2 = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that s is the length of the unknown side:

Area of the shaded region = 84

Area of rectangle - Area of triangle = 84

Area of rectangle = L * W

= 14 * s

= 14s

Area of triangle = ¹/₂ * base * height

= ¹/₂ * 14 * s/2

= 7s/2

Area of shaded region:

14s - 7s/2 = 84

Solving for s:

14s - 7s/2 = 84

28s - 7s = 168

21s = 168

s = 168/21

s = 8 inches

The area of a circle is 161 in. What is the radius?​
kirill [66]

Answer:

Approximately 7.16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Area of a circle equation: A=\pi r^2 where r is the radius

Plug in the given area 161 in.²

161=\pi r^2

Divide both sides by π to isolate r²

\frac{161}{\pi} =\frac{\pi r^2}{\pi} \\\frac{161}{\pi} =r^2

Take the square root of both sides to isolate r

=r^2\\\sqrt{\frac{161}{\pi}} =r\\7.16=r

Therefore, the radius of the circle is approximately 7.16 in.

I hope this helps!

Based on the scatterplot, which equation BEST represents the relationship between velocity and time?
lutik1710 [3]

The line of best-fit that represents the relationship between velocity and time is:

v = 2.19t + 6.7.

<h3>How to find the equation of linear regression using a calculator?</h3>

To find the equation, we need to insert the points (x,y) in the calculator.

For this problem, the points (t,v) are given as follows:

(0, 6.1), (2.1, 12.2), (5.3, 17.4), (8.2, 26.4), (10, 28.1), (12.1, 32.8).

Hence, inserting these points into a calculator, the equation is given by:

v = 2.19t + 6.7.
