X-y=. 2-3=-1

x(y)=. 2(3)=6

x+y= 2+3= 5

x/y= 2/3= 0.66......

Therefore, x-y has the smallest value, that is -1.

Answer:

x - y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the first expression is negative:

2 - 3 = -1

All of the other expressions give positive values, so are larger.

The expression with the smallest value is x-y.

_____

If x(y) is supposed to mean x^y, the exponentiation operator is needed. Otherwise, it is interpreted as x·y.

A bag contains 42 red marbles, 6 white marbles, and 8 gray marbles. You randomly pick out a marble, record its color, and put it

Elanso [62]

For any single draw,

$\mathbb P(\text{white})=\dfrac6{42+6+8}=\dfrac6{56}$
$\mathbb P(\text{gray})=\dfrac8{42+6+8}=\dfrac8{56}$

Drawing a white marble or a gray marble are disjoint events; only one of them can happen. So

$\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\mathbb P(\text{white})+\mathbb P(\text{gray})-\underbrace{\mathbb P(\text{white and gray})}_0$
$\mathbb P(\text{white or gray})=\dfrac6{56}+\dfrac8{56}=\dfrac{14}{56}$

Out of 224 draws, you should expect $\dfrac{14}{56}\times224=56$ of the marbles to be either white or gray.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of squares is 36, and only 6 of them are shaded therefore, the remaining 30 are not shaded. The probability that a randomly selected square is not shaded would therefore be:

$\frac{30}{36} = \frac{10}{12} \\ = \frac{5}{6}$
