For the expression 5-5x to have a negative value, what must be true about the value of x?

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$

Explain why are whole numbers are rational numbers

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Every whole number is a rational number: for example, 3=31. So it is rational. Every whole number n can be written as a fraction of integers: n=n1. We aren't required to write it that way; we just need to know that it is possible to express every whole number as a fraction of integers, and hence it is rational.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps
