Well, there are actually millions of colors in the rainbow, (every color that the human eye can see), but I do understand the question you're asking:

 

-- When Sara is ready to make her first selection, there are seven things with different colors in the pot, and one of them is red.

The probability that she picks the red one is ( 1 / 7 ).

The question says "with replacement". That means that after she selects it and looks at it, she puts it back in the pot. So . . .

-- When she's ready to make her second selection, the same seven things with different colors are still in the pot.  One of them is orange.

The probability that she picks the orange one is ( 1 / 7 ).

-- The probability of BOTH selections being successful (the color she wants) is

(1/7) x (1/7) .

That's <em>(1/49)</em>, which is about  <em>2.04 percent</em> .

if a toy rocket is launced vertically upward from ground level with an inital velocity of 128 feet per second, then its high h,
makkiz [27]
The toy rocket hits the ground when h(t) = 0.
So, h(t) = 0 = -9t^2 + 81.

Solving the equation,
-9t^2 = -81
Dividing by -9
t^2 = 9
Taking the square root.
t = 3

The answer is 3 seconds.

Sydney purchases a new car for $27,500. The value of the car decreases at rate of 15% each year. In approximately will the $1,25
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of car P = $27,500

Decrease rate r = 15% = 0.15

Final amount A = $1,254

Find:

Time taken n

Computation:

A = P[1-r]ⁿ

1,254 = 27,500[1-0.15]ⁿ

0.0456 = [0.85]ⁿ

Time taken n = 19 years (Approx)

Is (2, 2) a solution of the system y = x and x + 2y = 6?
Mariana [72]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 2 and y = 2 into both equations and if both are true then (2, 2) is a solution of the system.

y = x, that is

2 = 2 ← True

x + 2y = 6, that is

2 + 2(2) = 2 + 4 = 6 ← True

Thus (2, 2) is a solution of the system
