A = event that you select a black sweater
P(A) = 2/5 since there are 2 black out of 2+3 = 5 total

After you make a selection, we have the event
B = event that you select another black sweater assuming event A has happened already

P(B) = 1/4 because there's 1 black sweater left out of 5-1 = 4 left over

Multiply the probabilities
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
P(A and B) = (2/5)*(1/4)
P(A and B) = 2/20
P(A and B) = 1/10

The answer as a fraction is 1/10
In decimal form, it is 0.1
As a percent, the answer is 10%

Answer:

Shift 4 units down: g(x) = 2x - 10

Stretching f(x) by 4 : g(x) =8x - 24

Shift 4 units left:  g(x) = 2x - 14

Compress by 1/4 units : g(x)  = 8x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x - 6

Required

Match the transformations (See attachment)

<u>Shift 4 units down</u>

Shifting down a function is represented as:

g(x) = f(x) - b

In this case:

b = 4

Substitute expression for f(x) and 4 for b in g(x) = f(x) - b

g(x) = 2x - 6 - 4

g(x) = 2x - 10

<u>Stretching f(x) by 4 </u>

Stretching a function by some units is represented as:

g(x) =b.f(x)

In this case:

b = 4

Substitute expression for f(x) and 4 for b in g(x) =b.f(x)

g(x) =4 * (2x - 6)

g(x) =8x - 24

<u>Shift 4 units left</u>

Shifting a function to the left is represented as:

g(x) = f(x - b)

In this case:

b = 4

Substitute expression for f(x) and 4 for b in g(x) = f(x - b)

g(x) = f(x-4)

Calculating f(x - 4)

f(x) = 2x - 6

f(x - 4) = 2(x - 4) - 6

f(x - 4) = 2x - 8 - 6

f(x - 4) = 2x - 14

Hence:

g(x) = 2x - 14

<u>Compress by 1/4 units </u>

This means that the function is stretched by 1/\frac{1}{4}

Compressing a function is represented as:

g(x) =f(bx)

In this case:

b = 1/\frac{1}{4}

b = 1 * \frac{4}{1}

b = 4

Substitute expression for f(x) and 4 for b in g(x) =f(bx)

g(x) =f(4x)

Calculating f(4x)

f(4x) = 2(4x) - 6

f(4x) = 8x - 6

Hence:

g(x)  = 8x - 6

THIS is due in a hour Justin gave the waiter a $2.25 tip at the restaurant. If his meal cost $12.50, what percent tip did he giv
polet [3.4K]
2.25/12.50 = 0.18. then turn 0.18 into a percentage by doing 0.18 x 100 = 18%. Therefore, he gave an 18% tip.

A ladder is leaning against the top of
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discussion

You are working with the Cosine of the angle.

Hypotenuse = 12.5

Base = 3

Theta = ?

Solution

Cos(theta) = base / hypotenuse         Substitute values

Cos(theta) = 3 / 12.5                            Divide  

Cos(theta) = 0.24                                  Tale the inverse cos

theta = cos-1(0.24)

theta = 76.11 degrees

Let r and s be the roots of x^2 - 6x + 2 = 0. Find (r - s)^2.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer: (r-s)^{2} = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

  • x^{2} -6x+9=-2+9
  • (x-3)^{2}=7
  • (x-3)= -\sqrt{7} or \sqrt{7} <-- there's no plus/minus sign.
  • (x-3) = -\sqrt{7}
  • x = 3 -\sqrt{7} <-- root.
  • (x-3) = \sqrt{7}
  • x = 3+\sqrt{7} <-- root.
  • [(3-\sqrt{7})-(3+\sqrt{7})]^{2}
  • (3-\sqrt{7} -3 - \sqrt{7})^{2} <-- don't forget to distribute the negative.
  • (-2\sqrt{7})^{2}
  • (4)(7)
  • 28

Give a set of five integers, two positive and three negative, for which the mean, median, and mode are all -3
koban [17]
That's 5 integers...

Logic tells me that a number divided by 5 should be equal to -3. -15/5 is in fact equal to -3.

Let's find 5 integers (two positive and three negative) when added up together equal -15.

-14, -3, -3, 2, 3.

[(-14)+(-3)+(-3)+2+3]/5 = (-15)/5 = -3

Mean = -3

----------

Now let's put these numbers in order, from lowest to highest - then pick out the middle value...

-14, -3, [-3], 2, 3

The median turns out to be -3.

------------

Let's look at the numbers once again...

-14, -3, -3, 2, 3

It turns out that -3 appears the most, therefore -3 is the mode too.
