Answer:  The required probability is \dfrac{7}{11}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a box contains 4 red balls, 5 white balls, and 7 blue balls and we choose two balls at random from the box.

We are to find the probability that neither being red given that neither is white.

Let A and B denote the events that neither of the two balls are red and neither of he two balls are white.

Then, the probabilities of events A and B are given by

P(A)=\dfrac{5+7}{4+5+7}=\dfrac{12}{16},\\\\\\P(B)=\dfrac{4+7}{4+5+7}=\dfrac{11}{16}.

The probability that neither of the two balls are red or white is

P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{7}{4+5+7}=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Therefore, the probability that neither being red given that neither is white is given by

P(A/B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{\frac{7}{16}}{\frac{11}{16}}=\dfrac{7}{11}.

Thus, the required probability is \dfrac{7}{11}.

How do you solve a system of linear equations by graphing? ​
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

This is a self-answering question: you solve it by graphing the equations.

<em>The solution is where the lines intersect</em>. The point of intersection of the lines is the point that satisfies all the equations for the lines, hence is a solution to the system. If they do not intersect, there are no solutions. If the lines are coincident, there are an infinite number of solutions.

__

The equations can be graphed by any of a number of methods. (My favorite is to let a graphing calculator do it.) The method of choice depends on the coefficients and the form the equations are given in. Methods of graphing are a topic for a more lengthy discussion.

Factor this expression completely.<br> 36y2 - 1
shtirl [24]

Answer:

(6y - 1)(6y + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorize completely, we may adopt the difference of 2 squares approach. The theory states that difference of two square  is the product of the difference of the number and the sum of the numbers.

Such that

a² - b² = (a - b) (a + b)

Hence 36y² - 1

= 6²y² - 1²

= (6y)² - 1²

= (6y - 1)(6y + 1)
