Answer:

  the numbers of women drivers are inconsistent

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W, C, P stand for the conditions that the drivers were women, the drivers were citizens, and the car had passengers, respectively.

We are told the number of WCP cars is 13, the number of WC cars is 23, and the number of WP cars is 22. The total of WC and WP cars counts WCP cars twice, so the total of cars in these three categories combined is ...

  WC +WP -WCP = 23 +22 -13 = 32

This number (32) is more than the total number of cars with women driving (27), so there is obviously a mistake.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:5r2+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=4r2−3r+2+−1(−r2−3r)

=4r2+−3r+2+−1(−r2)+−1(−3r)

=4r2+−3r+2+r2+3r

Combine Like Terms:

=4r2+−3r+2+r2+3r

=(4r2+r2)+(−3r+3r)+(2)

=5r2+2

Everett is rolling a block with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 on it. Finley is drawing one disk from a basket of three disks:
ioda

Option A:

The probability that Everett and Finley end up with an even number and a blue disk is \frac{1}{6}.

Solution:

Given data:

Everett is rolling a block with numbers = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Finley is drawing one disk from basket with colors = {blue, red, yellow}

Total number of numbers = 6

Total number of colors = 3

$\text { Probability }=\frac{\text {Number of possible outcomes}}{\text {Total number of outcomes}}

$P\text{(Even number)} =\frac{3}{6}$

$P\text{(Blue disk)} =\frac{1}{3}$

$P\text{(Even number and Blue disk)} =\frac{3}{6}\times\frac{1}{3}$

                                                  $=\frac{3}{18}

Divide numerator and denominator by the common factor 3.

                                                  $=\frac{3\div3}{18\div3}

                                                  $=\frac{1}{6}

Option A is the correct answer.

Hence the probability that Everett and Finley end up with an even number and a blue disk is \frac{1}{6}.
