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}.

HEY YA'LL 30 PTS FOR 1 PROBLEM!<br> Given: m∠EYL=1/3 the measure of arc EHL<br> Find: m∠EYL.
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Two tangents drawn to a circle from an outside point form arcs and an angle, and this formula shows the relation between the angle and the two arcs.

m<EYL = (1/2)(m(arc)EVL - m(arc)EHL)      Eq. 1

The sum of the angle measures of the two arcs is the angle measure of the entire circle, 360 deg.

m(arc)EVL + m(arc)EHL = 360

m(arc)EVL = 360 - m(arc)EHL      Eq. 2

We are given this:

m<EYL = (1/3)m(arc)EHL       Eq. 3

Substitute equations 2 and 3 into equation 1.

(1/3)m(arc)EHL = (1/2)[(360 - m(arc)EHL) - m(arc)EHL]

Now we have a single unknown, m(arc)EHL, so we solve for it.

2m(arc)EHL = 3[360 - m(arc)EHL - m(arc)EHL]

2m(arc)EHL = 1080 - 6m(arc)EHL

8m(arc)EHL = 1080

m(arc)EHL = 135

Substitute the arc measure just found in Equation 3.

m<EYL = (1/3)m(arc)EHL

m<EYL = (1/3)(135)

m<EYL = 45

A quadratic equation is set up in the form of ax² + bx +c
First set equation = to 0
0= x² - 5x - 24
Next plug into quadratic formula( -b Plus or minus the √b²-4ac) ÷ 2a
[10 plus or minus √(25² - 4×1×24)] ÷ 2
Solve for inner parenthesis first 
√625- 96   = √529
Now set up two equations
(10 + √529) ÷2   = x   = 16.5
(10 -  √529) ÷2   = x   = -6.5 
So therefore x = 16.5 and -6.5

AB=2y+1, BC=y+1,CD=7x-3,DA=3x what is x and y
sattari [20]
I attached the picture associated with this question.

Answer:
x = 2
y = 5

Explanation:
ABCD is a parallelogram. This means that each two opposite sides are equal.
This means that:
1- AB = CD
2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2- AD = BC
3x = y + 1
This can be rewritten as:
y = 3x - 1............> equation II

Substitute with equation II in equation I and solve for x as follows:
2y + 1 = 7x - 3 ...........> equation I
2(3x - 1) + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 2 + 1 = 7x - 3
6x - 1 = 7x - 3
7x - 6x = -1 + 3
x = 2

Substitute with x in equation I to get y as follows:
y = 3x - 1
y = 3(2) - 1
y = 6 - 1
y = 5

Hope this helps :)
