Answer:

a) y </= 8 is not sufficient

b) y >/= 4 is sufficient (y is not less than 3.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Red marbles = 8

Number of white marbles = y

Total number of marbles in the jar = 8+ y

Let Pr(R) be the probability of picking red marbles

Let Pr(W) be the probability picking white marbles

Pr(R) = 8/ (8+y)

Pr(W) = 7/(7+y)

Pr(RR) = Pr(R1) * Pr( R2)

= 8/(8+y) * 7/(7+y)

Pr(RW) = Pr(R1) * Pr(W2) + Pr(W1) * Pr(R2)

= 2[Pr(R1) * Pr(W2)

= 2[8/(8+y) * y/(7+y)]

The probability of having 2 red is greater than one marble of each color.

Pr(RR) > Pr( RW)

8/(8+y) * 7/(7+y) > 2[8/(8+y) * y/(7+y)]

7/(7+y) > 2(y/(7+y)

7/y > 2

7/2 > y

3.5 > y

y < 3.5

Therefore;

a) y </= 8 is not sufficient

b) y >/= 4 is sufficient (y is not less than 3.5)

In a 5% sale, the price of a phone is reduced by £19.4 Find the original price of the phone
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The original price of the phone is £388.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 5% of the price of the phone is reduced, you can simply multiply the reduced number which is £19.4 by 20.  Your final answer should be £388 when you put it on a calculator or do it on a piece of paper.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So A = the child is 5-10 years old and B = the child is 11-13 years of age and that covers all the children in the study. I = calcium intake is inadequate.

Which of the following graph represents the solution set for 5x+38 ≤ 4(2-5x)
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given inequality is,

5x + 38 ≤ 4(2 - 5x)

5x + 38 ≤ 8 - 20x [Distributive property]

5x + 20x + 38 ≤ 8 - 20x + 20x [By adding 20x on both the sides of the inequality]

25x + 38 ≤ 8

(25x + 38) - 38 ≤ 8 - 38 [By subtracting 38 on both the sides of the inequality]

25x ≤ -30

\frac{25x}{25}\leq -\frac{30}{25} [Dividing by 25 on both the sides of the inequality]

x ≤ 1.2

Therefore, Option (C) will be the correct graph.
