<u>Answer- </u>
In tossing four fair dice, the probability of getting at most one 3 is 0.86.
<u>Solution-</u>
The probability of getting at most one 3 is, either getting zero 3 or only one 3.
( ∵ xxxx )
( ∵ 3xxx, x3xx, xx3x, xxx3 )
P(Atmost one 3) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.48 + 0.38 = 0.86

Complete Question:
If the point (2, 5) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, then determine the missing values of b and m. Show how you arrive at your answer.
1. y = 3x + b
2. y = mx + 9
Answer:
1. Intercept, b = -1
2. Slope, m = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Points on the line (x, y) = (2, 5)
To find the missing values;
Mathematically, the equation of a straight line is given by the formula;
y = mx + b
Where;
- m is the slope.
- x and y are the points
- b is the intercept.
1. y = 3x + b
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = 3(2) + b
5 = 6 + b
b = 5 - 6
<em>Intercept, b = -1</em>
2. y = mx + 9
Substituting the value of x and y, we have;
5 = m(2) + 9
5 = 2m + 9
2m = 5 - 9
2m = -4
m = -4/2
<em>Slope, m = -2</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of hours to pull weed in a day
Let y = number of hours to now lawn in a day
It takes her an average of 3 hours to pull weeds and an average of 2.5 hours to mow the lawn. She can work no more than 8 hours a day.
This means
3x + 2.5y is lesser than/ equal to 8
She charges $50 to weed and $65 to mow the lawn.
This means she charges
50x +65y
She needs to cover her expenses of $120 to make a profit. This means she needs to earn an amount greater than or equal to $120
50x + 65y greater than or equal to 120
In this diagram we see that 80 and 3x+4y are both vertical angles and vertical angles are congruent or always equal so we can set those two equations equal to each other then we can see that a line splits two angles making them supplementary (they equal 180 degrees) So we can have another equation, the two equations are:
3x+4y=80 and 3x+4y+7x-8y=180 (add like terms to simplify and get 10x-4y=180
Then use elimination to get rid of the y variables
10x-4y=180 (plus)
+3x+4y=80 (the negative 4 and positive 4 cancels each other out so you are left with:)
13x=160 (divide by x)
x=12.30769 which can be rounded to x=12.31
Then we have to plug in x into the first equation:
3(12.31) + 4y = 80
36.93 + 4y = 80 (subtract 36.93 from 80)
4y = 43.07 (divide)
y=10.7675 or rounded to 10.77
so x=12.31 and y=10.77
