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)

Which real-world story is represented by the addition problem (–2 1/2) + (–3 1/4) = –5 3/4?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the correct answer because the equation matches option A.

(-2 1/2) + (-3 1/4)

The minus sign in -2 1/2 shows that the submarine descended and then descended again with the addition sign. Though the addition sign can mean that it ascended its incorrect.

With the equation in hand, we can prove that option A is correct.

If the submarine descended 2 1/2 miles then here must be a minus sign next to the 2 1/2. But if it ascended then there would've been an addition sign to show that it ascended. The other value - 3 1/4 also shows that it ascended with the help of the addition sign.

Ascends - values increase from smallest to highest.

Descends - values decrease from highest to smallest.

Which College entrance exam has the least amount of math problems to work? ​
taurus [48]

Answer:

SAT

Step-by-step explanation:

The two main college entrance exams are the SAT and ACT which are used for almost all colleges in the United States. Between these two the SAT has a lesser focus on math in general. Instead, the SAT tends to focus more on word problems and the process taken to solve them. This does not mean that it has no math at all, there is still a math section on the SAT's but it is not as extensive as in the ACT's.

Find the product.<br> (3n - 1)(7n-7)
slega [8]

Answer:

21n² - 28n + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3n(7n - 7) - 1(7n - 7) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 21n² - 21n - 7n + 7 ← collect like terms

= 21n² - 28n + 7

I want the answer and way to do this problem.
user100 [1]

∠ABC = ∠CDA (given)

∠BCA = ∠DAC (given)

CA = AC (common side)

ASA congruence criterion = when two angles of two triangles are equal and their included side is also equal, we can consider those triangles to be congruent to each other.

Since two angles in triangle △ABC and△CDA are equal and since their included side is also equal we can conclude that they are congruent.

Therefore, △ABC ≅ △CDA under the ASA congruence criterion.
