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)

7x+2y&gt;-5(-1,1)<br><br> Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the linear inequality
boyakko [2]

Answer:

  • No

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given inequality:</u>

  • 7x + 2y > - 5

<u>Verify if (-1, 1) is correct:</u>

  • 7(-1) + 2(1) > - 5
  • - 7 + 2 > - 5
  • - 5 > - 5

False inequality, it is not the solution
