Suppose you randomly select a letter from BURGER AND STARBIRD. Imagine writing these letters on Ping-Pong balls – one letter per

ball – then putting them all in a barrel and removing one. What is the probability of pulling out an R? What is the probability of pulling out a B? What is the probability of pulling out a letter that appears in the first half of the alphabet? What is the probability of pulling a vowel?

First, count the total number of letters in <span>BURGER AND STARBIRD.
There are 17 letters.
Now count each type of letter you are interested in and divide by 17.

a) There are four R's, so the probability of pulling out an R is 4/17.

b) </span><span>There are two B's, so the probability of pulling out an B is 2/17.

c) Letters A through M appear in the first half of the alphabet.
These letters are from the first half of the alphabet:
</span><span>BGEADABID
There are 9 of them.
</span>The probability of pulling out a letter that appears in the first half of the alphabet is 9/17.

d) <span>These letters are vowels
</span><span>UEAAI
There are five vowels.
</span><span>The probability of pulling out a vowel is 5/17.</span>

Solve the following system of equations. Show all work and solutions.
Hitman42 [59]
  • y=2x²+6x+1
  • y=-4x²+1

Make the equations equal and solve for x

  • 2x²+6x+1=-4x²+1
  • 6x²+6x=0
  • 6x(x+1)=0
  • 6x=0 or x+1=0
  • x=0 or x=-1

For x=0

  • y=-4(0)+1=1

For x=-1

  • y=-4(1)+1=-3

The solutions are

  • (0,1) and (-1,-3)

Janelle has a 12-ounce can of soft drink. She drinks 3/5 of the soft drink.
guapka [62]

Answer:

Answer:  4.8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

In total there are 12 ounces. If she drinks 3/5 of 12 you multiply 3/5 by 12.

3/5 * 12 would be equal to 3/5 * 12/1 which is 36/5. You have found how much she has drank. 36/5 is also equal to 7.2 ounces. Subtract 7.2 form 12 and you get 4.8 ounces.

Hope this helped!

HELP ME AND YOU'LL GET 95 POINTS ASAP
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: See explanation. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, subtract then divide. This is especially a good strategy when you have the x and y values when x = 0:

604 - 460 = 144

144 divided by 18 =

8

Therefore, the rate of change is 8. We can even go further to create an equation for this:

y intercept = 460 (because 0 multiplied by the rate of change would be 0).

slope = 8

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b --> y = 8x + 460

Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

How many significant figures are in the measured value 550,000,000?
NikAS [45]

There are 2 significant figures (sig figs) which are the two '5' digits. The zeros aren't considered sig figs because we can write the number as 5.5 * 10^8 to represent the exact same idea. The 0's are simply placeholders to tell how big the number is, not necessarily how accurate it is. If the 0s were between the decimal point and a nonzero value, then the 0s would be significant. If the 0s were to the right of the decimal, then they would be significant.
