Answer:

\dfrac{5}{273}

They are dependent events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of $1 gift certificates = 2

Number of $2 gift certificates = 2

Number of $3 gift certificates = 10

To find:

Probability that a $1 gift certificate is selected, then a $3 and then a $2 certificate is selected = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the formula of probability of any event E:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

Finding probability of choosing $1 gift certificate in the first turn:

Number of favorable cases or number of $1 gift certificates = 2

Total number of cases or total number gift certificates = 2 + 2 + 10 = 14

So, required probability = \frac{2}{14} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{7}

Finding probability of choosing $3 gift certificate in the 2nd turn:

Number of favorable cases or number of $1 gift certificates = 10

Now, one gift certificate is already chosen,

So, Total number of cases or total number gift certificates = 14 - 1 = 13

So, required probability = \frac{10}{13}

Finding probability of choosing $2 gift certificate in the 3rd turn:

Number of favorable cases or number of $2 gift certificates = 2

Now, two gift certificates is already chosen,

So, Total number of cases or total number gift certificates = 14 - 2 = 12

So, required probability = \frac{2}{12} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{6}

<em>Probability </em>that a $1 gift certificate is selected, then a $3 and then a $2 certificate is selected:

\dfrac{1}{7}\times \dfrac{10}{13}\times \dfrac{1}{6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{273}

They are dependent events because <em>total number of cases and total number of favorable cases depend on the previous chosen gift certificate.</em>

<em></em>

<em>So, the answer is:</em>

\dfrac{5}{273}

They are dependent events.

Solve the system of equations.<br><br><br> −5x+2y=9<br> y=7x<br> ​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x=1  y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

−5x+2y=9

y=7x

Substitute the second equation into the first

-5x +2(7x) = 9

Distribute

-5x +14x = 9

Combine like terms

9x=9

Divide by 9

9x/9 =9/9

x= 1

Now find y

y = 7(1)

y = 7

If the measure of angle 2 is 92 degrees and the measure of angle 4 is (one-half x) degrees, what is the value of x?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: x = 184°

Step-by-step explanation: As we can see in the figure below, angles 2 and 4 are <u>Vertical</u> <u>Angles</u>, i.e., they are angles opposite each other when two lines cross. Vertical angles are always congruent.

Then,

m∠2 = m∠4

92=x.(\frac{1}{2})

92=\frac{x}{2}

Value of x is

x=92(2)

x = 184

The value of x is 184°.
