A box of cookies contains 4 chocolate and 6 butter cookies. Miguel randomly selects a cookie and eats it. Then he randomly selec

ts another cookie and eats it. Are the probabilities for the flavor of the second cookie that Miguel selects independent of his first selection? Explain. The probabilities for the second cookie selection are independent of the first selection. The cookies are replaced after selecting them. The probabilities for the second cookie selection are dependent on the first selection. The probability of selecting a chocolate cookie second is the same as selecting a butter cookie. The probabilities for the second cookie selection are dependent on the first selection. The probability of a chocolate cookie being selected second is dependent on whether a chocolate or butter cookie was selected first. The probabilities for the second cookie selection

Answer:

The probability of the flavor of the second cookie is always going to be dependent on the first one eaten.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the number of the type of cookies left depends on the first cookie taken out.

This is better explained with an example:

  1. Probability Miguel eats a chocolate cookie is 4/10. The probability he eats a chocolate or butter cookie after that is <u>3/9</u> and <u>6/9</u> respectively. This is because there are now only 3 chocolate cookies left and still 6 butter cookies left.
  2. In another case, Miguel gets a butter cookie on the first try with the probability of 6/10. The cookies left are now 4 chocolate and 5 butter cookies. The probability of the next cookie being chocolate or butter is now <u>4/9</u> and <u>5/9</u> respectively.

The two scenarios give us different probabilities for the second cookie. This means that the probability of the second cookie depends on the first cookie eaten.

Yuri [45]

Answer:  y = 12.50x + 45

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is the number of hours  and you pay $12.50 per hour then we can come up the expression 12.50x

You will be charge $45 as an initial fee so it will be 12.50x + 45 and that has to equal the total cost which is y.

y = 12.50x + 45

30 = 60% of x
x being our variable, we need to figure out what x equals. Use the formula I put in the attachment. Multiply 30 by 60, and then divide the product by 100. That will give you the answer :)

Solve for x; y=mx+b I can find x by_______________ on both sides of the equation PLZ Show your Work Thank You

Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.
