Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

When a coin is tossed six coins in a row, there are a total of 2^6 outcomes.

The possible number of times for a heads are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

Let our random variable, Number of coins that turn up heads be X

X={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

The event that X<3 and the event that X>3 cannot occur simultaneously in the same outcome.

In an outcome, its either one of the following happens:

  • Number of heads = Number of Tails =3
  • Number of heads < Number of Tails
  • Number of heads > Number of Tails
  • Number of heads cannot be greater than Number of Heads

Therefore, the events that X<3 and X>3 are independent.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Ah yes, one of my favorite topics.

Step 1: Which ever fraction comes first, you will solve it first. For this question, focus on doing \frac{7}{8}m-2m first. Afterwards, do \frac{9}{10}-\frac{3}{5}

Step 2: First one equals to 1.125. Next, find the LCD (lowest common dominator, which is 10). \frac{9}{10} -\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{10}

Step 3: 1.125+3/10

#5 Antonio and Abby had the same nimber of paperclips. After Antonio gave 30 paperclips to Abby, Abby had twice as many papercli
Kay [80]

Answer:

#5: 180 paperclips in total.

#6: 126 stamps in total.

#7: Elena should give Lucy 15 colored pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

This explanation solves each question by setting a single unknown, x.

<h3>#5</h3>

Let x the initial number of paperclips of Antonio. That should also be the number of Abby's paperclips.

Initially:

  • Antonio: x paperclips;
  • Abby: x paperclips.

Antonio gives 30 paperclips to Abby. After that,

  • Antonio: (x - 30) paperclips;
  • Abby: x + 30 paperclips.

Abby now possess twice as many paperclips as Antonio does. In other words,

2(x - 30) = x + 30.

By the distributive property:

2x - 60 = x + 30.

Substract x - 60 from both sides

x = 30 - (-60) = 90.

Both Antonio and Abby initially possess 90 paperclips. That's 180 in total.

<h3>#6</h3>

Similarly, let x be the number of Emily's stamps. That should be the same as the number of Jasmine's stamps.

Initially:

  • Emily: x stamps;
  • Jasmine: x stamps.

After Emily gives 42 stamps to Jasmine:

  • Emily: x-42 stamps;
  • Jasmine: x+42 stamps.

Jasmine now possesses twice as many stamps as Emily does. In other words,

2(x-42) = x+42.

x = 42 + 2\times 42 = 126.

Jasmine used to possess 126 stamps. Now she possesses 126 + 42 = 168 stamps after receiving 42 stamps from Emily.

<h3>#7</h3>

Let the number of pencils that Elena needs to give to Lucy be x.

Initially:

  • Elena: 60 pencils;
  • Lucy: 26 pencils.

After Elena gives x pencils to Lucy:

  • Elena: 60 - x pencils;
  • Lucy: 26 + x pencils.

Elena should now possess four more pencils than Lucy does. In other words,

\underbrace{60 - x}_{\text{Elena's}} = \underbrace{(26 + x)}_{\text{Lucy's}} +4.

2x = 30.

x = 15.

5.1(3 + 2.2x) &gt; –14.25 – 6(1.7x + 4)?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

x > -2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 5.1 (3 + 2.2x) > -14.25 - 6 (1.7x + 4)

2) 15.3 + 11.22x > -14.25 - 10.2x - 24

3) 15.3 + 11.22x > -38.25 - 10.2x

4) 11.22x + 10.2x > -38.25 - 15.3

5) 21.42x > -53.55

6) x > -2.5

Alternate forms

x > -5/2x or x > -2 1/2
