P( b.=15/16,p(a and b.=3/4 find p(a

1 answer:

6 0

And or both means we multiply the given probability situations that are mutually exclusive and exhaustive - they cannot occur at the same time.

let P(a)=x

then: P(b) * P(a) =3/4

         15/16 * x = 3/4

          15x/16 = 3/4
therefore x= 3/4 *16/15
          x = 4/5
P(a) = 4/5

hope it's clear

Each equation represents a linear relationship. Examine each and determine the slope and y- intercept

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Slope is -3/7. Y intercept is 250/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they asking for the slope and y intercept, let put it in slope intercept form.

$y = mx + b$

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

The equation given is in standard form so we will convert it to slope intercept.

$3x + 7y = 250$

$7y = 250 - 3x$

$y = \frac{250}{7} - \frac{3}{7} x$

$y = - \frac{3}{7} x + \frac{250}{7}$

The slope is -3/7

The y intercept is 250/7

Pls answer fast my teacher is waiting!

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

For company A, y = 24x + 42

For company B, y = 28x + 25

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of containers

y is the total cost

For company A, y = 24x + 42

For company B, y = 28x + 25

For the cost of both companies to be the same, then

24x + 42 = 28x + 25

28x - 24x = 42 - 25

4x = 17

x = 4.25

Mr Lycan would have to order about 4 containers so the cost would be the same from each company

There are 4 red marbles and 8 green marbles in a box. If Emma randomly selects a marble from the box, what is the probability of

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The probability of a successful event is the ratio of the number of successful events to the total number of events. In this case, a successful event is selecting a red marble from the box. The total number of events is the total number of marbles in the box:

Red marbles/Total number of marbles

4/12 divide

=1/3

how much money has to be invested at 5.9% interest compounded continuously to have 15,000 after 12 years?

Scrat [10]

Hi there

The formula is
A=pe^rt
We need to solve for p where
A future value 15000
P present value?
E constant
R interest rate 0.059
T time 12 years
So when you solve for p you get
P=A÷e^rt
P=15,000÷e^(0.059×12)
P=7,389.43

Hope it helps
