The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 kilograms more than

Law Incorporation [45]

Let K=average weight of an okapi and L=that of a llama.
3L=K+190 and K+L=450 so K=450-L. Therefore 3L=450-L+190, 4L=640, L=160kg and K=450-160=290kg.
Okapi weighs 290kg, llama weighs 160kg.

A particular Spotify playlist contains 105 songs, of which 10 are by the Beatles. Suppose the shuffle feature is used to play th

katovenus [111]

Answer: The required probability is 0.3296.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of songs = 105

Number of songs are by the Beatles = 10

So, Number of songs are not by the Beatles = 105-10=95

So, the probability that the first Beatles song heard is the fifth song played is given by

$\dfrac{^{95}C_4\times ^{10}C_1}{^{105}C_5}\\\\=0.3296$

Hence, the required probability is 0.3296.
