Say she chooses topic A. She needs at least one book to arrive on time. The probability that no books arrive on time is 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01 so the probability that at least one book arrives on time is 1 - 0.01 = 0.99.
Say she chooses topic B. She needs at least two books to arrive on time. The probability of no books arriving on time is 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.0001. The probability of exactly one book arriving on time is 4 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.9 = 0.0036 (binomial probability distribution formula - the 4 comes from 4C1). So the probability of her not getting enough books is 0.0001 + 0.0036 = 0.0037 and the probability she does get the books she needs on time is 1 - 0.0037 = 0.9963.
So she should choose topic B.

Do the ratios 10:9 and 17:15 form a proportion?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Nope! these ratios do not form a proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

if you use a calculator to divide 10/9, you get 1.111 repeating.

if you use a calculator to divide 17/15, you get 1.133 repeating.

<em>since 1.111 does not equal 1.113, </em><em>these ratios are not proportional. </em>

The sum of three numbers is 10. Two times the second number minus the first number is equal to 12.
eimsori [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

-10,1,19

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u></u>

x+y+z = 10 (Equation 1)

2y-x= 12  (Equation 2)

x-y+2z = 7 (Equation 3)

(Equation 2): -x = -2y+12

                       x = 2y-12 (Equation 4)

(Equation 1) - (Equation 3): 2y-z = 3

                                              -z = -2y+3

                                               z = 2y-3 (Equation 5)

Substitute (4) and (5) into (1)

x+y+z = 10

(2y-12)+y+(2y-3) = 10

5y-15 = 10

5y = 5

y=1

Substitute y=1 into (2)

2y-x= 12

2(1)-x= 12

2-x= 12

-x= 12-2

-x= 10

x= -10

Substitute y=1 and x=-10 into (1)

x+y+z = 10

-10+1+z = 10

z-9 = 10

z = 10+9

z = 19

Order: x = -10, y = 1, and z = 19
