6 pairs of shorts, for a
"s" dollars. A blazer costs 3 times as much, she bought one. The total was 139.50

6s + 3(6s) = 139.50
6s + 18s = 139.50
25s = 139.50 Divide everything by 25,
s = 5.58, which is how much the shorts were. Now for the blazers ;

It said they were three times the cost of shorts, if shorts are 5.58, it is 3*5.58.
3s
3(5.58)
16.74

The blazer cost 16.74

An oil exploration firm is formed with enough capital to finance ten explorations. The probabil- ity of a particular exploration
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

μ = 1 The firm expects that one oil exploration will be successful.

v(x)= 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to define the random variable x as:

x: number of oil explorations being succesful

Then x can be take this values:

x = 0 , x =1 ... x =10

x is a binomially distributed random variable with parameters.

p = 0.1 and  n=10

And the mean or the expected value of x is:

μ = E(x) = np

Then μ = 10*0.1 = 1

And the variance of x is:

V(x) = np(1-p)

V(x) = 10(0.1)(1-0.1)= 0.9

A container holds 9 red markers, 13 blue markers, and 17 green markers. You will randomly select two markers without replacement
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a.

                         R-------8/38--------RR

R------9/39--------B-------13/38-------RB

                          G------17/38--------RG

                          R-------9/38--------BR

B--------13/39------B-------12/38-------BB

                           G-------17/38-------BG

                             R-----9/38--------GR

G---------17/39-------B------13/38-------GB

                              G------16/38-------GG

b).

  • 9 ways
  • ways you can select 1 blue are; RB,BR,BG,GB

RB=9/39 × 13/38=3/38

BR= 13/39 × 9/38 =3/38

BG= 13/39 × 17/38=17/114

GB= 17/39 × 13/38=17/114

=3/38 +3/38+17/114+ 17/114 =26/57

  • Probability of selecting 2 red markers= RR = 9/39 × 8/38 =12/247

  • Probability of selecting a green marker and then a red marker= GR= 17/39×9/38 =51/494

A triangle has 2 sides that are 9 inches and the bottom is 6 inches what is the height?
Elanso [62]

The height of the isosceles triangle is 8.49 inches.

<h3>How to find the height of the triangle?</h3>

Here we have a triangle such that two of the sides measure 9 inches, and the base measures 6 inches.

So this is an isosceles triangle.

We can divide the isosceles triangle into two smaller right triangles, such that the side that measures 9 inches is the hypotenuse, the base is 3 inches, and the height of the isosceles triangle is the other cathetus.

By Pythagorean's theorem, we can write:

(9in)^2 = (3 in)^2 + h^2

Where h is the height that we are trying to find.

Solving that for h we get:

h = √( (9 in)^2 - (3in)^2) = 8.49 inches.

We conclude that the height of the isosceles triangle is 8.49 inches.

A system of two linear equations with two variables is shown below.
Orlov [11]
{ 3-y=2x
{ x+1/2y=3/2

{ -y=2x-3
{ 1/2y=3/2-x

{ y=-2x+3
{ y=3-2x

-2x+3=3-2x

(x,y) = (x,-2x+3)
