At first, the probability of selecting one yellow balloon was 9 out of 14.


But then one balloon was sold, so now there are only 13 to choose from.


But in addition, the balloon sold was one of the yellow ones, so now there are only 8 yellow balloons out of the (new) total of 13.


So the probability that the next balloon sold at random will be yellow is 8 out of 13, or 8/13.

There are 9 balloons remaining, of which 4 are yellow. therefore the probability that the next balloon is also yellow is 4/9

A mechanic had a bolt with a diameter of 2/9 inch. Will the bolt fit into a hole with a diameter of 0.2 inch.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

No, the bolt won't fit into the hole

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to convert the diameter of the bolt into decimal by dividing:

2/9 = 0.222...

The hole has diameter of 0.2

<em>Hence, 0.222 is larger than 0.2, so the bolt won't fit.</em>

Please find the perpendicular line slope equation please! Thanks!
lana66690 [7]

We need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form first.

We can do that by solving for y.

x - 5y = 15

<em><u>Add 5y to both sides.</u></em>

x = 5y + 15

<em><u>Subtract 15 from both sides.</u></em>

x - 15 = 5y

<em><u>Divide both sides by 5.</u></em>

y = 1/5x - 3

We now know the slope is 1/5.

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line with a slope of 1/5 is -5.

The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope.

Using a graphing calculator, we know the y-intercept of the line that is perpendicular to the original line must have a y-intercept of -6 to run through the points (-2, 5).

The equation of the new line is y = -5x - 6.

What four consecutive intergers have a sum of -34
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

-7, -8 , -9 and -10 are such four integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first integer = k

So, the next three consecutive integers are ( k+1), ((k + 1) + 1)  and (((k + 1) + 1) +1)

or, k , (k +1), (k +2) and (k +3) are four consecutive integers.

Now, their sum is -34.

⇒k   + (k +1) +  (k +2) +  (k +3)  = -34

or, 4k  + 6 = -34

or, 4k = - 34 - 6 = -40

⇒  k = -40/ 4 = -10

Hence, the first integer k = -10

The next integer = k + 1 = -10 + 1 = -9

Similarly next two integers are -8 and - 7.

So -7, -8 , -9 and -10 are such four integers.

The population of mosquitoes in a certain area increases at a rate proportional to the current population, and in the absence of
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

P=400000(2^t)-40000t

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of mosquitoes is 400000, and they double each day. This represents an exponential growth equation. If t represent days and P represent the population of the mosquitoes, hence this can be represented by the equation:

P=400000(2^t)

Also, the predators eat the mosquitoes at a rate of 40,000 mosquitoes/day. This means that each day, the mosquitoes reduce by 40000t, therefore this can be represented by:

P=400000(2^t)-40000t
