Case 1: Probabilities cannot add up to a number greater (or less) than 1. This would mean there is greater than a 100% chance of something happening which just doesn't make sense. 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1,1

Case 2: You cannot have a negative probability. That is claiming that there is a -10% chance of an event happening, there is at the very least a 0%. Despite them "adding" up to 1, the negative probability makes no sense.

Hope I helped!

What is the solution to the system of equations? 3x + 10y = -47 5x- 7y = 40<br>Please and thank u

anastassius [24]

Answer:

x=1, y=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$3x+10y=-47\ Eqn\ 1\\and\\5x-7y=40\ Eqn\ 2$

In order to solve the equation

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3 and subtracting them

So,

Eqn 1 becomes

15x+50y=-235

Eqn 2 becomes

15x-21y=120

Subtracting 2 from a

15x+50y - (15x-21y) = -235-120

15x+50y-15x + 21y = -355

71y = -355

y = -355/71

y =-5

Putting y= -5 in eqn 1

3x+10(-5) = -47

3x -50 = -47

3x = -47+50

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Hence the solution is:

x=1, y=-5

There are 4 aces and 4 kings in a standard deck of playing cards. you pick one random card at random. What is the probability of

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:2/3

Step-by-step explanation:There are 52 cards in a standard deck: 13 ordinal cards (Ace - 10, Jack, Queen, King) and 4 of them - one to each suit (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) and so we have

There are 8 cards that fit the question (4 each of aces and kings).

And so in a random draw, the odds of drawing one of those 8 cards out of the total number of 52 is:8/52

which we can simplify:

8/52=2/13

Tom throws a ball into the air. The ball travels on a parabolic path represented by the equation , where represents the height o

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

2.5 second

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is missing in the question.

The equation is, $h=-8t^2+40t$ , where 'h' is the height and 't' is time measured in second.

Now we know to reach its maximum height, h in t seconds, the derivative of h with respect to time t is given by :

$\frac{dh}{dt} =0$

Now the differentiating the equation with respect to time t, we get

$\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}(-8t^2+40t)$

$\frac{dh}{dt}=-16t+40$

For maximum height, $\frac{dh}{dt} =0$

So, $-16t+40=0$

$\Rightarrow 16t=40$

$\Rightarrow t=\frac{40}{16}$

$\Rightarrrow t = 2.5$

Therefore, the ball takes 2.5 seconds time to reach the maximum height.

Solve the system of equations

rewona [7]

Answer:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a system of 3 equations with 3 variables:

4*x + 2*y + 1 = 1

2*x - y = 1

x + 3*y + z = 1

The first step to solve this, is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate "y" in the second equation:

2*x - y = 1

2*x - 1 = y

Now that we have an expression equivalent to "y", we can replace this in the other two equations:

4*x + 2*(2*x - 1) + 1 = 1

x + 3*(2*x - 1) + z = 1

Now let's simplify these two equations:

8*x - 1 = 1

7*x - 3 + z = 1

Now, in the first equation we have only the variable x, so we can solve that equation to find the value of x:

8*x - 1 = 1

8*x = 1 + 1 = 2

x = 2/8 = 1/4

Now that we know the value of x, we can replace this in the other equation to find the value of z.

7*(1/4) -3 + z = 1

7/4 - 3 + z = 1

z = 1 + 3 - 7/4

z = 4 - 7/4

z = 16/4 - 7/4 = 9/4

z = 9/4

Now we can use the equation y = 2*x - 1 and the value of x to find the value of y:

y = 2*(1/4) - 1

y = 2/4 - 1

y = 1/2 - 1

y = -1/2

Then the solution is:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4
