I think there's an easy way and a hard way to do this, and I think that the way
I'm about to describe is the easier way.

Probability = (number of successful outcomes)/(total number of possible outcomes)

<em>How many total pairs can be drawn from 8 total pens ?</em>
-- The first one drawn can be any one of 8 pens. For each of these . . .
-- The second one drawn can be any one of the remaining 7 .
-- Total number of ways of drawing a pair = (8 x 7) = 56 ways.
-- But there aren't 56 different different pairs. Whether you draw A and then B,
or B and then A, you wind up with the same pair.  There are 2 different ways to
draw each pair, so the 56 ways of drawing a pair only produces <u>28</u> different pairs.

<u>How many pairs are two of the same color ?</u>

<em>Possible number of blue pairs:</em>
The reasoning is exactly the same as calculating the TOTAL number of
pairs, as explained above.
With 5 blue pens, you can make <u>10</u> different pairs.
AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE, and DE.

<em>Possible number of red pairs:</em>
The reasoning is exactly the same as calculating the TOTAL number of
pairs, as explained above.
With 3 red pens, you can make <u>3</u> different pairs.
AB, AC, and BC.

Total number of possible same-color pairs = 10 + 3 = 13

successes / total possible outcomes = 13/28 = <u>46.4</u>%  (rounded)

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour related to water going 44 miles upstream then returning the total t
yanalaym [24]

The speed of the current is 13 mph

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

speed refers to distance travelled per unit time. This is a vector quantity this implies that it has magnitude and direction.

The unit for speed as used here is miles per hour and can be written in short form as mph

<u>Given data</u>

speed of boat = 15 miles per hour = 15 mph

distance = 44 miles upstream

total time for the trip = 7.5 hours

<h3>solving for the speed of the current</h3>

let the water current be x

speed = distance / time

the total travel time upstream and downstream is known

for upstream

15 - x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 - x

for downstream

15 + x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 + x

total time = time for upstream + time for downstream = 7.5

7.5 = (44 / 15 - x ) + ( 44 / 15 + x )

7.5 = ( 44 ( 15 + x ) + 44 ( 15 - x ) ) / ( 15 + x  )( 15 - x )

7.5 ( 15 + x  )( 15 - x ) = 210 +44x + 210 - 44x

7.5 ( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 420

( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 56

169 = x ^ 2

x = sqrt ( 169 )

x = 13 miles per hour

hence speed of current is 13 miles per hour

Help me please this is very important to me for rbainlist and explain
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting one even and one odd is the sum of probability of getting even and of getting odd and even. Since there are 3 even or odd on each die out of six numbers you have

P(EO)(3/6)(3/6)=1/4 and P(OE)=(3/6)(3/6)=1/4 so 1/4+1/4= 1/2

or you can find the probability of getting two odds or two evens and subtract that from 1

P(EE)=(3/6)(3/6)=1/4, P(OO)=(3/6)(3/6)=1/4

P(EO)=1-1/4-1/4=1/2
