Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{54}{5405}.

Step-by-step explanation:

How many unique combinations are possible in total?

This question takes 5 objects randomly out of a bag of 50 objects. The order in which these objects come out doesn't matter. Therefore, the number of unique choices possible will the sames as the combination

\displaystyle \left(50\atop 5\right) = 2,118,760.

How many out of that 2,118,760 combinations will satisfy the request?

Number of ways to choose 2 red candies out a batch of 28:

\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) = 378.

Number of ways to choose 3 green candies out of a batch of 8:

\displaystyle \left(8\atop 3\right)=56.

However, choosing two red candies out of a batch of 28 red candies does not influence the number of ways of choosing three green candies out of a batch of 8 green candies. The number of ways of choosing 2 red candies and 3 green candies will be the product of the two numbers of ways of choosing

\displaystyle \left( 28\atop 2\right) \cdot \left(8\atop 3\right) = 378\times 56 = 21,168.

The probability that the 5 candies chosen out of the 50 contain 2 red and 3 green will be:

\displaystyle \frac{21,168}{2,118,760} = \frac{54}{5405}.

Sin(angle) = opposite leg / hypotenuse

Sin(45) = Opposite leg / 28

Opposite Leg = 28 * Sin(45)

Opposite Leg = 14 SQRT(2) = 19.8

the length of a retangle is 4 inches greater than the width. the perimeter of the retangle is 24 inches. What are the dimensions
Marianna [84]
24 = 2w + 2(w+4) \\24 = 2w + 2w + 8 \\24 = 4w + 8 \\24 - 8 = 4w \\16 = 4w \\\tfrac{16}{4} = w 4 = w

The width is 4 inches, and length is 8 inches.

The common point between lines y = 2x + 5 and y = ½ x + 6 is (3, 1/2). true or false
mixer [17]
The common point between y = 2x + 5 and y = (1/2)x + 6 will have the same values for x and y.

Therefore, set the two y expressions equal to obtain
2x + 5 = (1/2)x + 6

Subtract (1/2)x from each side.
(3/2)x + 5 = 6

Subtract 5 from each side.
(3/2)x = 1

Multiply each side by 2/3.
x = 2/3.

From the first equation, obtain
y = 2*(2/3) + 5 = 19/3.

The common point is (2/3, 19/3). It is not equal to (3, 1/2).
