Answer:

The probability of selecting randomly 6 packets such that the first 4 contain cocaine and 2 not is 0.3522.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities of selecting 4 packets with the ilegal substance:

(\frac{15}{4})\\= \frac{15!}{4!(15-4)!}

Combinassions possible= 1365

Probabilities of selecting 2 packets with white powder:

(\frac{5}{2})= \frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}

Combinations possible= 10

Probabilities of selecting 6 packets from the totality of them:

(\frac{20}{6}) = \frac{20!}{6!(20-6)!}

Combinations possible= 38760

The probability of picking 4 with the substance and 2 with only white powder is:

\frac{(15ncr4)(5ncr2)}{(20ncr6)} = 0.3522

I hope this answer helps you.

Figure out slope by using:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in values:
29.98-15.49/50-25

Simplify:
14.49/25 = 0.5796

Then, use this ratio for the 40 lbs bag. So, then:
40*0.5796 = 23.184

So, your price for the 40 lbs bag should be $23.18 because cents only go up to 2 decimal places (otherwise, it would be $23.184).

Answer:

m∠ACB = 82°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠ACB = 180° - m∠ACD

∠ACB and ∠ACD are supplementary, which add up to 180°

m∠ACB = 180° - 98°

m∠ACB = 82°

Jane andre and maria pick apples .Andre picks three times as many pounds as maris .Jane picks two times as .A u pounds as andre
spayn [35]

Answer: Andre picked 252 pounds of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pounds of apple picked by Jane.

Let y = number of pounds of apple picked by Andre

Let z = number of pounds of apple picked by Maria

Andre picks three times as many pounds as maria. It means that

y = 3z

Jane picks two times as many pounds as Andre. It means that

x = 2y

The total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. It means that

x + y + z = 840 - - - - - - - - - 1

We will substitute z = y/3 and x = 2y into equation 1

2y + y + y/3 = 840

Cross multiplying with 3

6y + 3y + y = 2520

10y = 2520

y = 2520/10 = 252

x = 2y = 252× 2 = 504

z = y/3 = 252/3 = 84
