<h2>Answer:</h2>

The inverse of this statement is:

If a number is not divisible by 2, then it is not even.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that for a given conditional statement:

If p then q

i.e. p → q

where p is the hypothesis of the statement and q is the conclusion of the statement.

the inverse of this statement is:

if not p then not q

i.e. ~p → ~ q

We are given statement as:

If a number is divisible by 2, then it is even.

i.e. p=A number if divisible by 2

and q= it is even.

~p= A number is not divisible by 2

and ~ q= number is not even.

Hence, the answer is:

If a number is not divisible by 2, then it is not even.

Since this statement is in the form of an implication (if...then) and the inverse of an implication is ~p->~q then the answer would be:
If a number is not divisible by 2, then the number is not even.

Find n(A) for the following set. <br> A={a,b,c,...,z}

MariettaO [177]

n(A) = 26

Solution:

Let us first define the cardinal number of the set.

Cardinal number of the set:

The number of distinct elements in a finite set is called its cardinal number. It is denoted as n(A).

Given set: A = {a, b, c, .... z}

We know that, there are 26 elements in the alphabet "a to z".

Number of elements in the set A = 26

Hence n(A) = 26.

The perimeter of the triangular park on the right is 16x-6. What is the missing length? The bottom side length is 5x+4 and the r

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

$(9x-5)\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The picture of the question in the attached figure</em></u>

we know that

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the length of their three sides

$P=a+b+c$

where

a,b,c are the length sides of the triangle

In this problem we have

$P=(16x-6)\ units\\a=(2x-5)\ units\\b=(5x+4)\ units$

substitute and solve for the missing length

$(16x-6)=(2x-5)+(5x+4)+c\\c=(16x-6)-(2x-5)-(5x+4)\\c=(9x-5)\ units$

3. Two balls are drawn in succession without replacement from an urn containing 4 red balls and 3 blue balls. Find the probabili

choli [55]

Answer:

X ____ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

P(x) __ 1/7 _____ 4/7 _____ 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of red balls = 4

Number of Blue balls = 3

Total number of balls = (4 + 3) = 7

Picking without replacement :

Number of picks = 2

1st pick is red :

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

USing combination formula :

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

Total possible outcome :

7C2 = 7! / 5!2! = 7*6 / 2 = 42 / 2 = 21

X = number of red

For red = 0;

P(x =0) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(x = 0)

Required outcome : [4C0 * 3C2)]

P(x = 0) = [(4C0 * 3C2)] / 21 = (1*3)/21 = 3/21 = 1/7

P(x = 1)

Required outcome : [4C1 * 3C1)]

P(x = 1) = [(4C1 * 3C1)] / 21 = (4*3)/21 = 12/21 = 4/7

P(x = 2)

Required outcome : [4C2 * 3C0)]

P(x = 2) = [(4C2 * 3C0)] / 21 = (6*1)/21 = 6/21 = 2/7

Hence ;

X ____ 0 ______ 1 _______ 2

P(x) __ 1/7 _____ 4/7 _____ 2/7
