Total applications = 75
Apartments on north side of town = 4
Apartments on South side of town = 5

First  person has a 4/75 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(A) = 4/75

And second person has a 3/74 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(B) = 3/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the north side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (4 ÷ 75) x (3 ÷ 74) = 0.05333 x 0.04054 = 0.00216 

First  person has a 5/75 chance of getting a house in the south side 
P(A) = 5/75

And second person has a 4/74 chance of getting a house in the south side
P(B) = 4/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the south side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (5 ÷ 75) x (4 ÷ 74) = 0.06666 x 0.05405 = 0.00360

Mabel claims that the expression (2 x 2 – x – 15) + ( x – 3)( x + 7) is equivalent to 3( x – 3)( x + k) .
Naily [24]

Answer:

  k = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for the claim to be true, (x-3) must be a factor of each of the terms in the first expression. That is, you must have that expression factor as ...

  (x -3)(2x +5) +(x -3)(x +7)

Factoring out (x -3), we get ...

  = (x -3)(2x +5 +x +7) = (x -3)(3x +12)

  = 3(x -3)(x +4)

The value of k must be 4.
