Answer:

A cage holds 6 black cats and 9 white cats, if two cats escape what is the probability of both cats being white?

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves two events, each with their own probability. Because both the first AND the second have to happen for this problem, you will MULTIPLY the wo individual probabilities.

Total cats = 15, White cats = 9

Probability first escaped cat is white = 9/15

One white cat has now escaped, so we now have Total cats = 14, White cats = 8

Probability second escaped cat is white = 8/14

Now MULTIPLY because this is an AND probability problem. (9/15)(8/14) = 72/210 = 12/35

True or false is a relation in which each y value has only 1 x value
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The statement is true that a function is a relation in which each y value has ONLY 1 x value.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is true that a function is a relation in which each y value has ONLY 1 x value.

The reason is very clear that we can not have the repeated x-values (two same x-values).

For example, given the set of the ordered pairs of a relation

{(3, a), (6, b), (6, c)}

As the same x values (x=6) has two different Y values. Hence, the stated relation is not a function.

In order to be a function, a relation must have only 1 x-value for each y-value.

Therefore, the statement is true that a function is a relation in which each y value has ONLY 1 x value.
