<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a)

The probability is :  1/2

(b)

The probability is :  1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The numbers​ 1, 2,​ 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of​ paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacement.

The total combinations that are possible are:

(1,2)   (1,3)    (1,4)    (1,5)

(2,1)   (2,3)   (2,4)   (2,5)

(3,1)   (3,2)   (3,4)   (3,5)

(4,1)   (4,2)   (4,3)   (4,5)

(5,1)   (5,2)   (5,3)   (5,4)

i.e. the total outcomes are : 20

(a)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 4.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 9.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

We know that it could be calculated by using the formula:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( Since, out of a total of 20 outcomes there is just one outcome which comes in A∩B and it is:  (4,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 9

(4,5) and (5,4) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

(b)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 3.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 8.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

               P(A|B)

Hence, based on the data we have:

P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}

( since, the only outcome out of 20 outcomes is:  (3,5) )

and

P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 8

(3,5) and (5,3) )

Hence, we have:

P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}

Solve for x and y matrix
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x=-1

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{pmatrix}x&y\\ \:-1&4\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}2&5\\ \:4&1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}18&0\\ \:14&-1\end{pmatrix}

\begin{pmatrix}x&y\\ -1&4\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}2&5\\ 4&1\end{pmatrix}

=\begin{pmatrix}x\times \:2+y\times \:4&5x+y\\ 14&-1\end{pmatrix}

=\begin{pmatrix}18&0\\ 14&-1\end{pmatrix}

\begin{bmatrix}x\times \:2+y\times \:4=18\\ 5x+y=0\end{bmatrix}

x=-1

y=5

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

15.) -7x + 6 (x - 8/2) - 2(x + 3) + 10

-7x + 6 (x - 4) - 2(x + 3) + 10

-7x + 6x - 24 - 2x - 6 + 10

Bring like terms together

-7x + 6x - 2x - 24 - 6 + 10

-3x - 20

16.) B, C, D

B. 3 (x + 2) + 4x

3x + 6 + 4x = 7x + 6

C. -2 + 4(x + 3)

-2 + 4x + 12 = 4x + 10

D. 3x + 5(x - 1)

3x + 5x - 5

8x - 5

17.) A, B, D

A. 1/5(x - 50)

1/5x - 10

B. 1/6(-x + 12)

-1/6x + 2

D. 1/2(x + 16)

1/2x + 8
