Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a convenience store regularly buys mangoes from a wholesale dealer. For every shipment, the manager randomly inspects five mangoes from a box containing 20 mangoes for damages due to transportation. Suppose the chosen box contains exactly 2 damaged mangoes.

In the selected box 18 good mangoes and 2 damaged mangoes are there

a) Find the probability that the first mango is not damaged.

= prob of selecting 1 from any one of 18 good mangoes = \frac{18}{20} =0.90

b. Find the probability that neither of the mangoes is damaged. =

Prob of selecting 2 from 18 good mangoes

=\frac{18C2}{20C2} =0.5276

c. Find the probability that both mangoes are damaged.

= Prob of selecting 2 from 2 bad mangoes

=\frac{2C2}{20C2} =0.005263

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination.
sweet [91]

Answer:

The solutions to the system of the equations by the elimination method will be:

x=2,\:z=-1,\:y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of the equations

2x\:+\:2y\:+z\:=\:7

-x-\:y\:+z\:=\:-5

x+3y-4z=12

solving the system of the equations by the elimination method

\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ -x-y+z=-5\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Multiply\:}-x-y+z=-5\mathrm{\:by\:}2\:\mathrm{:}\:\quad \:-2x-2y+2z=-10

\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ -2x-2y+2z=-10\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}

-2x-2y+2z=-10

+

\underline{2x+2y+z=7}

3z=-3

\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 3z=-3\\ x+3y-4z=12\end{bmatrix}

2x+6y-8z=24

-

\underline{2x+2y+z=7}

4y-9z=17

\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 3z=-3\\ 4y-9z=17\end{bmatrix}

Rearranging the equations

\begin{bmatrix}2x+2y+z=7\\ 4y-9z=17\\ 3z=-3\end{bmatrix}

solve 3z=-3 for z:

z=-1

\mathrm{For\:}4y-9z=17\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}z=-1

solve  4y-9\left(-1\right)=17 for y:

4y-9\left(-1\right)=17

4y+9=17

4y=8

y=2

\mathrm{For\:}2x+2y+z=7\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}z=-1,\:y=2

solve 2x+2\cdot \:2-1=7 for x:

2x+2\cdot \:2-1=7

2x+3=7

2x=4

x=2

Therefore, the solutions to the system of the equations by the elimination method will be:

x=2,\:z=-1,\:y=2

Which function represents the sequence?
Tom [10]

Answer: SECOND OPTION

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute any value of <em>n</em> shown in the table attached into each function given in the options, and observe if you obtain the value of a_n shown in the table.

Let's substitute n=1 (According to the table, you need to obtain a_n=3):

<u>For the first option:</u>

f(1)=1+3=4

<u>For the second option:</u>

f(1)=7(1)-4=3  THIS IS THE FUNCTION

<u>For the third option:</u>

f(1)=3(1)+7=10

 <u>For the fourth option:</u>

f(1)=1+7=8

Therefore, the answer is the second option.

The height of a triangle is 4 m less than its base. The area of the triangle is 48 m².What is the length of the base?
yaroslaw [1]

Triangle Area = .5 * base * height

48 = .5 * (x +4) * x

48 = (.5x + 2) * x

48 = .5x^2 + 2x

.5x^2 + 2x -48 = 0

x = 8

base = 12
