Answer:

The probability that the first block will be green and the second will be yellow is  \frac{1}{9}  or 0.111.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a bag contains 5 yellow blocks, 2 green blocks and 3 blue blocks.

Also, we choose one block and then another block without putting the first one back in the bag.

<u>Firstly, as we know that Probability of any event is given by ;</u>

           Probability of an event  =  \frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}  

SO, <em>Probability that the first block will be green</em> =  \frac{\text{Number of green blocks}}{\text{Total blocks in the bag}}

Here, Number of green blocks = 2

Total number of blocks in bag = 5 yellow + 2 green + 3 blue = 10 blocks

So, Probability that the first block will be green  =  \frac{2}{10}

<em>Similarly, Probability that the second block will be yellow</em> =  

                               \frac{\text{Number of yellow blocks}}{\text{Total number of remaining blocks in the bag}}

Here, Number of yellow blocks = 5

Total number of remaining blocks in bag = 10 - 1 = 9 blocks  {because we haven't put the block back after choosing the first}

So, Probability that the second block will be yellow  =  \frac{5}{9}

<u>Now, Probability that the first block will be green and the second will be yellow</u>  =  \frac{2}{10} \times \frac{5}{9}

            =  \frac{1}{9}  = 0.111

Hence, the required probability is 0.111.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{7\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{11\pi}{6}}

Step-by-step explanation:

12\cos^2x-9=0\qquad\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\12\cos^2x=9\qquad\text{divide both sides by 12}\\\\\cos^2x=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\\cos^2x=\dfrac{9:3}{12:3}\\\\\cos^2x=\dfrac{3}{4}\to\cos x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}}\\\\\cos x=\pm\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\\text{Look at the picture}\\\\x=\dfrac{\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{7\pi}{6}\ \vee\ x=\dfrac{11\pi}{6}

Carlos vendio su carro por unprecio en el cual perdia el 12% de 22000000¿en cuanto lo habia comprado
nirvana33 [79]

carlos vendio su carro por un precio en el cual perdia 12% del precio en que lo compro.si lo vendio a un precio de $22.000.000. en cuanto lo habria comprado

Responder:

$ 24640000

Explicación paso a paso:

Pérdida en venta = 12%

Monto de venta = $ 22,000,000

Dejar ; Importe de la compra = x

Monto de la compra :

(1 + porcentaje de pérdida) * monto de venta

(1 + 12%) * 22.000.000

(1 + 0,12) * 22 000 000

1,12 * 22 000 000

= 24640000
