A bowl contains candies of the same size in three flavors: orange, strawberry, and pineapple. If the probability of randomly pul

ling out an orange candy is 1 over 9, and the probability of randomly pulling out a strawberry candy is 3 over 9, what is the probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy?

To find this add 3 and 1 together.  This gives you 4.  Then, you subtract 4 from 9.  The answer is 5.  Therefore, the probability to pull out a pineapple candy would be 5/9.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The probability of randomly pulling out a pineapple candy is:

                  \dfrac{5}{9}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

There are three flavors in a ice cream namely:

orange, strawberry, and pineapple.

We know that for any three events in a single experiment the sum of the probability of three events is equal to 1.

i.e. if A, B and C are three events and P denotes the probability of an event then:

         P(A)+P(B)+P(C)=1

Here let A= flavor is orange

B= flavor is strawberry

and  C= flavor is pineapple.

and we have:

P(A)=\dfrac{1}{9},\ P(B)=\dfrac{3}{9}

Hence, we have:

\dfrac{1}{9}+\dfrac{3}{9}+P(C)=1\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\\dfrac{4}{9}+P(C)=1\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\P(C)=1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\P(C)=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(C)=\dfrac{5}{9}

What’s the pattern of -1, -8, -27, and -64
AURORKA [14]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

a(n) = (-n)^3  where n = 1,2,3,...


Discussion:

The pattern  1,8,27, 64... is immediately recognizable as the the cube of the positive integers. But this question has a minus sign appearing before  each entry, suggesting we try this:


 - 1  =  (-1)^3

 -8  = (-2)^3

-27  = (-3)^3

-64  = (-4)^3

That's what the problem statement asked for . The answer is equivalently

-1 * (n^3)


Thank you,

MrB

Given: cos θ=-4/5, sin x = -12/13, θ is in the third quadrant, 
USPshnik [31]

By definition of tangent,

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

Recall the double angle identities:

sin(2<em>θ</em>) = 2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)

cos(2<em>θ</em>) = cos²(<em>θ</em>) - sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1

where the latter equality follows from the Pythagorean identity, cos²(<em>θ</em>) + sin²(<em>θ</em>) = 1. From this identity we can solve for the unknown value of sin(<em>θ</em>):

sin(<em>θ</em>) = ± √(1 - cos²(<em>θ</em>))

and the sign of sin(<em>θ</em>) is determined by the quadrant in which the angle terminates.

<em />

We're given that <em>θ</em> belongs to the third quadrant, for which both sin(<em>θ</em>) and cos(<em>θ</em>) are negative. So if cos(<em>θ</em>) = -4/5, we get

sin(<em>θ</em>) = - √(1 - (-4/5)²) = -3/5

Then

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = sin(2<em>θ</em>) / cos(2<em>θ</em>)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 sin(<em>θ</em>) cos(<em>θ</em>)) / (2 cos²(<em>θ</em>) - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = (2 (-3/5) (-4/5)) / (2 (-4/5)² - 1)

tan(2<em>θ</em>) = 24/7

What is y when x is equal to 10 in 10x+y=19
Maurinko [17]
<span>10x+y=19

when x = 10:

substitute with x=10 into the equation given:

10(10) + y = 19

or:

100 + y = 19

bring 100 to the other side to be -100

y = 19 - 100

y = -81


That's it
