Answer: There is something called the conversion factor.

For example, 1km is 1000 meters, so the conversion factor that goes from km to meters, is : $\frac{1000m}{km}$

And if you have a quantity expressed in kilometers, and want to write it in meters, you multiply it for the conversion factor.

A ball is drawn at random from a box containing 12 red,18

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

For a: The probability of getting a red or blue ball is 0.48

For b: The probability of getting a white, blue or orange ball is 0.81

For c: The probability of getting neither white or orange ball is 0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to occurs. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}$ .......(1)

We are given:

Number of red balls in a box = 12

Number of white balls in a box = 18

Number of blue balls in a box = 19

Number of orange balls in a box = 15

Total balls in a box = [12 + 18 + 19 + 15] = 64

For a:

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be red or blue) = [12 + 19] = 31

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Probability of getting a red or blue ball}=\frac{31}{64}=0.48$

For b:

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or blue or orange) = [18 + 19 + 15] = 52

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Probability of getting a white or blue or orange ball}=\frac{52}{64}=0.81$

For c:

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or orange) = [18 + 15] = 33

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Probability of getting a white or orange ball}=\frac{33}{64}=0.52$

Probability of getting a ball which is neither white or orange = [1 - (Probability of getting a white or orange ball)] = [1 - 0.52] = 0.48

Write the equation of a line that goes through point (0,-8) has a slope of 0

Deffense [45]

Answer:

y = x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation for slope, y = mx + b,

your slope being 0 makes the equation 'x' or 0x but x is preffered.

Your why would be -8 because there is no x in the point and it is a negative number.
