To determine the probability that both people chosen are females, we will use the rule of multiplication. 
Let event A = the event that the first person chosen is female; and let B = the event that the second person is female. 
To start, it is given that there are 10 students, 5 of them are females.  Therefore, P(A) = 5/10
After the first selection, there are 9 students, 4 of them are females. Therefore, P(A|B) = 4/9
Based on the rule of multiplication:

P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(A|B)
P(A∩B) = (5/10) (4/9)
P(A∩B) = 20/90
P(A∩B) = 2/9

The probability that both people chosen are females is 2/9.

If a cube with a 5-in side length is sliced in half. What is the surface area of the two pieces?
nydimaria [60]

 Hello there!

1.) To start, first know that a cube has the same height, length, and width, meaning that all of the dimensions are 5-in. Then, when you slice it in half, this would mean that you have now reduced the width to half of its original. This would mean that the width is now 2.5 while the height and length remain 5.

Now that you have this information, you can now find the surface area by using this formula:

A= 2lw+2lh+2hw

Now plug in your values:

A=2(5)(2.5)+2(5)(5)+2(5)(2.5)

This would simplify to:

A=25+50+25

A=100 in squared

Therefore, the surface area of the two pieces are 100 inches squared.

2.) To start, first plug the measurements of the tank into the cylinder volume formula:

V=\pir^2h

V=\pi(2.75)^2(10)

V= 237.58 cubic feet

Now, we must find how long it will take the tank to empty if the rate is 3.7 cubic feet per minute so divide the volume (in feet) by the rate:

237.58/3.7= 64.2108...

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, it would take approximately 64.21 minutes to empty the take when it is full.

Quick anyone know the answer to this?

The top question is B. 30, because you have to set 7y-30 equal to 4y+60 since both lengths are the same.

Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, where $A$, $B$, $C$
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A +B+C+D  = 3 is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$

To find:

A+B+C+D = ? if given term is written as following:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

<u>Solution:</u>

We can see that the resulting expression does not contain anything under \sqrt (square root) so we need to rationalize the denominator to remove the square root from denominator.

The rule to rationalize is:

Any term having square root term in the denominator, multiply and divide with the expression by changing the sign of square root term of the denominator.

Applying this rule to rationalize the given expression:

\dfrac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}} \times \dfrac{2-\sqrt6}{2-\sqrt6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5 \times (2-\sqrt6)}{(2+\sqrt{6}) \times (2-\sqrt6)} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{2^2-(\sqrt6)^2}\ \ \ \ \   (\because \bold{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{4-6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-5\sqrt6+10}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5\sqrt6-10}{2}

Comparing the above expression with:

$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$

A = 5, B = 6 (Not divisible by square of any prime)

C = -10

D = 2 (positive)

GCD of A, C and D is 1.

So, A +B+C+D = 5+6-10+2 = \bold3
