A chef draws cookies randomly from a box containing 6 cookies of the same shape and size. There is 1 chocolate cookie, 3 almond

cookies, and 2 butter cookies. He draws 1 cookie and then draws another cookie without replacing the first one. Find the probability of picking 1 almond cookie followed by another almond cookie, and show the equation used.

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of drawing an almond cookie the first time is 3/6=1/2, since there are a total of 6 cookies and 3 of them are almond. However, the second time the chance is 2/5, since there are 5 cookies left and only two of them are almond. The equation to model this is therefore:

P=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{1}{5}

Hope this helps!

1/5 is ur answer

1st time :

Total amount of cookies = 6

Total amount of almonds= 3

simplified to 1/2

2and time:

Total amount of cookies = 5

Total amount of almonds = 2

Let us have four distinct collinear points $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ and $d$ on the cartesian plane. the point $c$ is such that $\dfrac{ab}
Deffense [45]

Start with a line segment connecting two points, A and B. \dfrac{DA}{BA}=3 means DA is 3 times longer than BA. Clearly, D cannot fall between A and B because that would mean DA is shorter than BA. So there are two possible locations where D can be placed on the line relative to A and B.

But with \dfrac{DB}{BA}=2, or the fact that DB is 2 times longer than BA, we can rule out one of these positions; referring to the attachment, if we place D to the left of A, then DB would be 4 times longer than BA.

Finally, \dfrac{AB}{CB}=\dfrac12, so that CB is 2 times longer than AB. Again we have two possible locations for point C (it cannot fall between A and B), but one of them forces C to occupy the same point as D. However, A, B, C, D are distinct, so C must fall to the left of A.

Now let d be the length of AB. Then the length of CD in terms of d is 4d. We have the coordinates of C and D, and the distance between them is \sqrt{(4-0)^2+(0-4)^2}=4\sqrt2. So

4d=4\sqrt2\implies d=\sqrt2

The slope of the line through C and D is

\dfrac{0-4}{4-0}=-1

and so the equation of the line through these points is

y-4=-(x-0)\implies x+y=4

So the coordinates of A are (x,y)=(x,4-x). The distance between C and A is d=\sqrt2, so we have

\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(4-x-4)^2}=\sqrt{2x^2}=|x|\sqrt2=\sqrt2\implies|x|=1

Since A falls to the right of C (in the x,y plane, not just in the sketch), we know to take the positive value x=1. Then the y coordinate is y=4-1=3.

All this to say that A is the point (1, 3), so

2x+y=2+3=5

What is the difference between a copyright and a trademark, and how are they used to protect intellectual property?
kirill [66]

Answer: Copyright protects original work, whereas a trademark protects items that distinguish or identify a particular business from another.

The trademark laws protect the product or service name and any slogans used in the advertising, while the copyright laws protect the additional creative written expression contained in the ad. Hope this helps!
