of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Jessica has probability \dfrac{2}{5} 5 2 ​ start fraction, 2, divided by, 5, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Jessica will always miss. If his ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Ishaan has probability \dfrac{3}{8} 8 3 ​ start fraction, 3, divided by, 8, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If his ship has been hit, dread pirate Ishaan will always miss.

Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Jessica shoots first.  This means her ship has not already been hit, which means she has a 2/5 chance of hitting the pirate ship.  This also means she has a 1-2/5 = 3/5 chance of missing the pirate ship.

Since Captain Jessica misses, dread pirate Ishaan has a 3/8 chance of hitting the captain's ship.  This means he has a

3/5(3/8) = 9/40 chance of the captain missing the pirate and the pirate hitting the captain.

Given b(x) = X+41, what is b(-10)?<br> О -10<br> боооо
ch4aika [34]
Answer: 31
step by step solution: so the function is b(x)=x+41. they want to know what the function would equal when b(-10). so b(-10) means that you would plug (-10) in for x in the function so the function would now be b(x)=(-10)+41. now all you have to do is simplify the function. b(x)=31. so the function b(-10)=x+41 equals 31. hope this helped!!! have a great day.
