Answer:

The required probability is 4/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for the experiment is: { BB, BR, RB, RR }

The outcome of the event we require is: { BR, RB }

The probabilities for each outcome is given as:

BB: 3/7 x 2/6 = 1/7

BR: 3/7 x 4/6 = 2/7

RB: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

RR: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

Adding the probabilities we have:

{ BR, RB} = 2/7 + 2/7 = 4/7

That's it!

miskamm [114]

Answer:

<h2>x = -17</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

-12(x+5)=144\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-12)}\\\\\dfrac{-12(x+5)}{-12}=\dfrac{144}{-12}\\\\x+5=-12\qquad\text{subtract 5 from both sides}\\\\x+5-5=-12-5\\\\x=-17

For the purpose of purchasing new baseboard and​ carpet, complete parts a and b below.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

(a)i. Area=72 square feet

ii. Perimeter =34 feet

(b) Baseboard - perimeter

Carpet - area

Step-by-step explanation:

The room is 9ft x 8ft, therefore it is rectangular shaped.

Length=9ft; Breadth=8ft

(a)i. Area of a Rectangle= Length X Breadth

Area of the room=8X9=72 square feet

ii. Perimeter of a Rectangle=2(Length+Breadth)

Perimeter of the room=2(8+9)=2 X 17 =34 feet

(b) A baseboard goes around the edge or boundary of the room, so it has to do with perimeter

A carpet covers the entire floor so it has to do with the area of the room.
