Answer:    \bold{\dfrac{35}{187}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1st marble  and   2nd marble

 \dfrac{15\ red}{34\ total}       \times        \dfrac{14\ red}{33\ total}           =\dfrac{15\times 14}{34\times 33}=\dfrac{5\times 7}{17\times 11}= \boxed{\dfrac{35}{187}}

Which answer choice is equivalent to the expression 3x-1/2?
alex41 [277]

You can substitute a number in for x and compare the answer choices (not the most efficient way but it's how I would do it). Let's just say x = 5. Then the expression would equal 0.25819889. Substitute 5 in for x is the answer choices and see which one is the same.

A) simplified is 0.004 repeating

B) simplified is 0.25819889

C) simplified is 0.12

D) simplified is 1.341640786

We can see that B is the right answer

Ruby has a bird feeder which is visited by an average of 13 birds every 2 hours during daylight hours. What is the probability t
zalisa [80]

Answer:

62.93%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve it by a Poisson distribution, where:

p (x = n) = e ^ (- l) * l ^ (x) / x!

Where he would come being the number of birds that there would be in 40 minutes, we know that in 2 hours, that is 120 minutes there are 13, therefore in 40 there would be:

l = 13 * 40/120

l = 4,333

Now, we have p (x> 3) and that is equal to:

p (x> 3) = 1 - p (x <= 3)

So, we calculate the probability from 0 to 3:

 p (x = 0) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (0) / 0! = 0.01313

p (x = 1) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (1) / 1! = 0.0568

p (x = 2) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (2) / 2! = 0.12310

p (x = 3) = 2.72 ^ (- 4.33) * 4.33 ^ (3) / 3! = 0.17767

If we add each one:

0.01313 + 0.0568 + 0.12310 + 0.17767 = 0.3707

replacing:

p (x> 3) = 1 - 0.3707

p (x> 3) = 0.6293

Which means that the probability is 62.93%

Solve 2x2 + 20x = −38. (1 point)
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The solutions are x=-5+\sqrt{6}  and x=-5-\sqrt{6}


Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2x^{2} +20x=-38

Divide by 2 both sides

x^{2} +10x=-19 ------> x^{2} +10x+19=0

we know that


The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to


x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}


in this problem we have


x^{2} +10x+19=0

so


a=1\\b=10\\c=19


substitute

x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{10^{2}-4(1)(19)}}{2(1)}


x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{100-76}}{2}


x=\frac{-10(+/-)\sqrt{24}}{2}


x=\frac{-10(+/-)2\sqrt{6}}{2}


x1=\frac{-10(+)2\sqrt{6}}{2}=-5+\sqrt{6}


x2=\frac{-10(-)2\sqrt{6}}{2}=-5-\sqrt{6}
