Each of the 25 balls in a certain box is either red, blue, or white and has a number from 1 to 10 painted on it. If one ball is

to be selected at random from the box, what is the probability that the ball selected will either be white or have an even number painted on it?
a) The probablity that the ball will both be white and have an even number is 0.
b) The probablity that the ball will both be white minus the probablity that the ball will have an even number on it is 0.2.

Answer:

Probability ball: white - P(W)P(W);

Probability ball: even - P(E)P(E);

Probability ball: white and even - P(W&E).

Probability ball picked being white or even: P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)-P(W&E).

(1) The probability that the ball will both be white and have an even number painted on it is 0 --> P(W&E)=0 (no white ball with even number) --> P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)−0P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)−0. Not sufficient

(2) The probability that the ball will be white minus the probability that the ball will have an even number painted on it is 0.2 --> P(W)−P(E)=0.2P(W)−P(E)=0.2, multiple values are possible for P(W)P(W) and P(E)P(E) (0.6 and 0.4 OR 0.4 and 0.2). Can not determine P(WorE)P(WorE).

(1)+(2) P(W&E)=0 and P(W)−P(E)=0.2P(W)−P(E)=0.2 --> P(WorE)=2P(E)+0.2P(WorE)=2P(E)+0.2 --> multiple answers are possible, for instance: if P(E)=0.4P(E)=0.4 (10 even balls) then P(WorE)=1P(WorE)=1 BUT if P(E)=0.2P(E)=0.2 (5 even balls) then P(WorE)=0.6P(WorE)=0.6. Not sufficient.

Answer: E.

AB= 4x + 7 and BC = 20x - 5 <br> AB ~= BC
Mariana [72]

The value of the variable x is 3/4

<h3>What are congruent segments</h3>

Congruent segment are segments with equal or congruent lengths.

From the information given, we have that line AB is approximately equal to line BC. This is represented as;

AB = BC

Where;

  • AB = 4x + 7
  • BC = 20x - 7

Now, let's equate the expressions

4x + 7 = 20x - 5

collect like terms

4x - 20x = - 5 - 7

- 16x = - 12

Make 'x' the subject of formula

x = -12/-16

x = 3/4

Thus, the value of the variable x is 3/4

I need it rnnn pleaseee
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 6)

m = \frac{6+3}{2-8} = \frac{9}{-6} = - \frac{3}{2}

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

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y = 5 - 2x , that is

y = - 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2
