This is a hypergeometric distribution problem.
Population (N=50=W+B) is divided into two classes, W (W=20)  and B (B=30).
We calculate the probability of choosing w (w=2) white and b (b=5) black marbles.
Hypergeometric probability gives
P(W,B,w,b)=C(W,w)C(B,b)/(C(W+B,w+b)
where
C(n,r)=n!/(r!(n-r)!) the number of combinations of choosing r out of n objects.

Here
P(20,30,2,5)
=C(20,2)C(30,5)/(20+30, 2+5)
=190*142506/99884400
=0.2710

Alternatively, doing the combinatorics way:
#of ways to choose 2 from 20 =C(20,2)
#of ways to choose 5 from 30=C(30,5)
total #of ways = C(50,7)
P(20,30,2,5)=C(20,2)*C(30,5)/C(50,7)
=0.2710 
as before.

Answer:

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular pyramid can be found using

v=1/3bh

where b is the area of the base, and h is the height

We know the volume is 12, so let's find the area of the base

The area of a triangle can be found using:

a=bh/2

We know the base is 4, and the the height is 3, so we can substitute them in

a=4*3/2

a=12/2

a=6

Now, we can solve for the height

v=1/3bh

Substitute 12 in for v, and 6 in for b

12=1/3(6h)

Multiply both sides by 3

3*12=1/3(6h)*3

36=6h

Divide both sides by 6

h=6

The height is 6 inches

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

There is not a given angle side angle or a side angle side (no two angles and no two sides) so no to the first two.

HL includes two given side, which one must be the hypotenuse, and a right angle so no to that one.

What is 1/4y-1=1/2x+7
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  a linear equation in x and y

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is a linear equation (all variables to the first power) relating the variables x and y. There are an infinite number of values of x and y that will satisfy this equation.

When graphed on an x-y plane, those solution values will fall on a straight line with a slope of 2. It will cross the y-axis at y=32, and the x-axis at x=-16.
