1. A bag contains the letters of the word “PROBABILITY”.

1 answer:

6 0

Since "PROBABILITY" has 11 letters in it, then every letter has 1/11 chances of getting picked, so the chances of getting an O tile would be 1/11, same for getting a B tile. But if you were to get both of them consecutively, then the chances would be 1/11 of 1/11 because you have 1/11 of a chance to get and O and then 1/11 of a chance to get a B. So you would be looking for 1/11 of 1/11, which means multiplying the divisor, 11*11=121. Therefore, you should have 1/121 chance of getting an O and B tile.

Vivian's insurance company pays for 80% of her foot surgery after she pays a $500 deductible. How much will Vivian pay for her s

Phantasy [73]

Given that the insurance pays 80% of the cost of surgery and the surgery cost $9600, the amount of money Vivian will pay will be given as follows:
20/100×9600
=$1960
since she will cater for the deductibles that amount to $500 before the insurance takes over, then the total amount she will have to pay will be:
1960+500
=$2420

(2, -4), (x, y) , A , and B all lie on the line. Find an equation relating x and y.

frutty [35]

Answer:

An equation relating x and y is:

y = 3/4x - 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the points

(2, -4), (x, y), A(6, -1), and B(10, 2)

Taking any two points let say A(6, -1), and B(10, 2) to determine the slope

$\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(6,\:-1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(10,\:2\right)$

$m=\frac{2-\left(-1\right)}{10-6}$

Refine

$m=\frac{3}{4}$

We know that the value of the y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.

From the graph, it is clear

at x = 0, y = -5.5

Thus, the y-intercept b = -5.5

Thus, substituting b = -5.5 and m = 3/4 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = 3/4x + (-5.5)

y = 3/4x - 5.5

Therefore, an equation relating x and y is:

y = 3/4x - 5.5

Paul's mom sent him to the grocery store with $10 to buy bread and cheese for sandwiches. Paul picked out a loaf of bread that c

lutik1710 [3]

Given:

Total amount = $10

Cost of loaf of bread = $3.25

Cost of cheese = $5.99 per pound

Each slice weights = 0.04 pounds.

To find:

The inequality for the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy.

Solution:

Let x be the number of slices that Paul can afford to buy.

Weight of on slice is 0.04 pounds. So, weight of x slices is 0.04x pound.

Cost of cheese = $5.99 per pound

So, total cost of cheese for x slices = $5.99 × 0.04x

Now, Paul has $10 to buy bread and cheese for sandwiches. Cost of loaf of bread is $3.25.

$3.25+(5.99\times 0.04x)\leq 10$

$0.2396x\leq 10-3.25$

$0.2396x\leq 6.75$

Divide both sides by 0.2396.

$x\leq \dfrac{6.75}{0.2396}$

$x\leq 28.172$

The maximum integer value of x is 28.

Therefore, the required inequity is $3.25+(5.99\times 0.04x)\leq 10$ and 28 number of slices Paul can afford to buy.

a stage is 10 yards long and 5 yards wide. The orchestra pit in front of the stage is 4 yards long and 2 yards wide. How much fl

Lilit [14]

Well to find this answer, I assume that you want me to help with finding the area. Let's start with the area of the stage. Off of the info you gave me, I assume that the stage and pit are rectangles. So to find the area of the rectangles, we need to use the area formula A=l×w. Plug in the numbers into the formula and we get A=10×5. So the area of the stage is 50 yards. Now do the same thing for the pit, and we get A=4×2. So the pit's area is 8 yards. Add 50 and 8 to get the total area and we get 58. So the stage and the orchestra pit take up 58 yards of floor space. Hope I helped!
