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.

Fiona purchased 400 m2 of plastic sheeting and needs to cut it into rectangles of area 500 cm2. This can be done with no waste.
hoa [83]

Answer:

  8000

Step-by-step explanation:

The number will be ...

  (400 m^2)/(500 cm^2) = 0.8 (m/cm)^2 = 0.8 ((100 cm)/(1 cm))^2

  = 0.8·100^2 = 8000

Fiona can cut 8000 rectangles from the plastic sheeting she bought.

ILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF ITS RIGHT
Vesna [10]

Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is found by doing:

\frac{y_1 - y}{x_1 - x}

(x1 and y1 must be from the same ordered pair and x and y must be from the same ordered pair, however point (x1,y1) and (x,y) can be used interchangeably)

Let us say that (x1,y1) is (3,18)

And (x,y) is (5,30)

\frac{18 - 30}{3 - 5} = \frac{-12}{-2} = 6

Find the area of this trapezoid. Area = _______ square units. Round to the nearest whole number.
fredd [130]

Answer:

119 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid, use this formula: (a+b)/2 * h

Substitute 24, 10, and 7 for a, b, and h, respectively.

((24 + 10)/2) * 7

<em>Step 1: Add 24 and 10 to get 34.</em>

(34/2) * 7

<em>Step 2: Divide 34 by 2 to get 17.</em>

17 * 7

<em>Step 3: Multiply 17 by 7 to get 119</em>

119

The area of this trapezoid is 119 square units.
