Answer:

The probability of that happening is 1/22

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the probability, you need to start by finding the probability for each step. The probability of the first one being red is the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles.

3 red / 12 total.

3/12

1/4

Now the chance that the second is white is the total number of white marbles divided by how many are left in the bag.

4 white / 11 left

4/11

Lastly, the chance of the last one being blue is the number of blue marbles divided by the amount of total marbles left after two pulls.

5 blue/ 10 left

5/10

1/2

Now to find the overall probability of all 3 happening, we multiply all 3 probabilities together.

1/4 * 4/11 * 1/2 = 1/22

Maria invests $6,154 in a savings account with a fixed interest rate of 8% compounded continuously. What will the account balanc
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$13,695.98

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the continuous compound interest formula to solve:

A = Pe^{rt}

<em>P = principal amount</em>

<em>r = interest rate (decimal)</em>

<em>t = time (years)</em>

<em />

First, lets change 8% into a decimal:

8% -> \frac{8}{100} -> 0.08

Now, lets plug in the values:

A=6,154e^{0.08(10)}

A=13,695.98

The account balance after 10 years will be $13,695.98

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 4 squared provides 2 real zeros that are the same. These two are not distinct.

The other two come from x^2 - 7x + 10 which has a discriminate of

sqrt(7^2 - 4*1*10) = sqrt(9) = +/- 3 leading to something real and different.

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:  C= (3,2) and D=(2.2, 2.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of point P(x,y) divides a line segment having end points M{x_1,y_1} and N(x_2,y_2) in m:n will be :-

x=\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}

Given : The endpoints of AB are A(1,4) and B(6,-1).

If point C divides AB in the ratio 2 : 3, the coordinates of point C will be :-

x=\dfrac{2(6)+3(1)}{2+3}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{2(-1)+3(4)}{2+3}

Simplify,

\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\ y=2

Thus , coordinate of C= (3,2)

If point D divides AC in the ratio 3 : 2, the coordinates of point D will be :-

x=\dfrac{3(3)+2(1)}{3+2}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{3(2)+2(4)}{3+2}

Simplify,

\\\\\Rightarrow x=3\ y=2

Thus , coordinate of D= (2.2,2.8)
