<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The probability of getting a red or blue ball is 0.48

<u>For b:</u> The probability of getting a white, blue or orange ball is 0.81

<u>For c:</u> The probability of getting neither white or orange ball is 0.48

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

Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to occurs. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}     .......(1)

We are given:

Number of red balls in a box = 12

Number of white balls in a box = 18

Number of blue balls in a box = 19

Number of orange balls in a box = 15

Total balls in a box = [12 + 18 + 19 + 15] = 64

  • <u>For a:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be red or blue) = [12 + 19] = 31

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a red or blue ball}=\frac{31}{64}=0.48

  • <u>For b:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or blue or orange) = [18 + 19 + 15] = 52

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or blue or orange ball}=\frac{52}{64}=0.81

  • <u>For c:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or orange) = [18 + 15] = 33

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or orange ball}=\frac{33}{64}=0.52

Probability of getting a ball which is neither white or orange = [1 - (Probability of getting a white or orange ball)] = [1 - 0.52] = 0.48

Leah and Ashley go to the movie theater and purchase refreshments for their friends
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The required system of equations is:

5 m+   7  n = 113.75  

6 m +   14  n  =  185.50

The price of 1 bag of popcorn  = $10.5

The price of 1 drink   = $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the cost of 1 bag of popcorn = $ m

And, the cost of 1 drink = $ n

Now, Leah spends a total of 113.75 on 5 bags of popcorn and 7 drinks.

Cost of 5 bags + 7 drinks = 5 m +   7  n  =  $ 113.75

⇒ 5 m+   7  n = 113.75   .. (1)

Also, Ashley spends a total of 185.50 on 6 bags of popcorn and 14 drinks

Cost of 6 bags + 14 drinks = 6 m +   14  n  =  $185.50

⇒  6 m +   14  n  =  185.50   .. (2)

So, here the system of equations that can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn (m) and the price of one drink (n) are

5 m+   7  n = 113.75   .. (1)

6 m +   14  n  =  185.50   .. (2)

Now, to solve this, Multiply (1) with -2 and add with 2, we get:

-10m + 6m - 14 n + 14 n = 185.5 - 227.5

or, - 4  m = -42 , or m = 42/4 = 10.5

Putting the value of m = 10.5 in 5 m+   7  n = 113.75 , we get n = 8.75

Hence,  the price of 1 bag of popcorn  = m = $10.5

And the price of 1 drink  = n = $8.75

Helppp Plsss Asap!! Thanks!! ​
LenKa [72]

the answer is 12 because if you look at the position of the y axis when x equals 2 then look at the y value when x equals 4 you will get the 2 numbers 4 and 16 now subtract 16 by 4 and you get 12.
