Answer:

0.273

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of insured pieces of luggage be <em>i</em> and <em>u</em> be the number of uninsured pieces of luggage, therefore,

<em>i </em>+ <em>u </em> = 27

Now,

probability that exactly one of the damaged pieces of luggage is insured = (iC1)(uC3)/(27C4)

probability that none of the damaged pieces are insured = (uC4)/(27C4)

and,

(iC1)(uC3)/(27C4) = 2 (uC4)/(27C4)

=> <em>u − </em>2<em>i </em>= 3

By solving, <em>i </em>+ <em>u </em> = 27 and  <em>u − </em>2<em>i </em>= 3

<em>i</em> = 8 and <em>u</em> = 19

and,

(8C2)(19C2)/(27C4) = 0.273

First is multiplying

54 × 56 = 3,024

Now, add 9

3,024 + 9 = 3,033

At last, add y

3,033 + y = 3,033 + y

Your answer is: 3,033 + y

Hope this helps :)

A dishwasher is priced at $475. There are two options offered to reduce the price: either a 15% discount off the price or a reba
Andrej [43]

Answer: The $75 rebate.

Step-by-step explanation: When you have a question that deals in percentages, you would place a decimal point in the second point back--- Or rather, it would be 1.00 at 100% and above, and .05 for 5%. You would be getting $71.25 discount with the 15%, while you would be getting $3.75 more with the $75 rebate.

Missing term = –2xy

Solution:

Let us first find the quotient of -8x^2y^3 \div xy.

-8x^2y^3 \div xy=\frac{-8x^2y^3 }{xy}

                    =\frac{-8\times x\times x\times y\times y\times y}{xy}

Taking common term xy outside in the numerator.

                    =\frac{xy(-8\times x\times y\times y)}{xy}

Both xy in the numerator and denominator are cancelled.

                    =-8xy^2

Thus, the quotient of -8x^2y^3 \div xy is -8xy^2.

Given the quotient of -8x^2y^3 \div xy is same as the product  of 4xy and ____.

-8xy^2=4xy × missing term

Divide both sides by 4xy, we get

⇒ missing term = \frac{-8xy^2}{4xy}

Cancel the common terms in both numerator and denominator.

⇒ missing term = –2xy

Hence the missing term of the product is –2xy.
