The probability that it is pink or canvas is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the meaning of "or" , "and" on probability :

  • The use of the word "or" means that you are calculating the probability  that either event A or event B happened.  Both events do not have to happen
  • The use the word "and", means that both event A and B have to happen

The addition rules are:

  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ⇒ mutually exclusive (events cannot happen  at the same time)
  • P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) ⇒ non-mutually exclusive (if they  have at least one outcome in common)

Anna is shopping for a new backpack

∵ The probability that the backpack is pink is 0.7

∴ P(pink) = 0.7

∵ The probability that it is canvas is 0.7

∴ P(canvas) = 0.7

∵ The probability that it is pink and canvas is 0.5

∴ P(pink and canvas) = 0.5

Substitute the values above in the rule below

∵ P(pink or canvas) = P(pink) + P(canvas) - P(pink and canvas)

∴ P(pink or canvas) = 0.7 + 0.7 - 0.5

∴ P(pink or canvas) = 0.9

The probability that it is pink or canvas is 0.9

6x-y=-23 8x+3y=-9 Substition method (Show it step by step please!)
Tanya [424]

Answer:

solution is (- 3, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

given the 2 equations

6x - y = - 23 → (1)

8x + 3y = - 9 → (2)

rearrange (1) expressing y in terms of x

y = 6x + 23 → (3)

Substitute y = 6x + 23 into (2)

8x + 3(6x + 23 ) = - 9

8x + 18x + 69 = - 9

26x + 69 = - 9 ( subtract 69 from both sides )

26x = - 78 ( divide both sides by 26 )

x = - 3

substitute x = - 3 into (3)

y = (6 × - 3 ) + 23 = - 18 + 23 = 5

solution is (- 3, 5 )

There is a total of 36 books on the bookshelf. The number of hardback books is 15 more than twice the number of paperback books.
uranmaximum [27]

The number of hardback books that are on the bookshelf is 29 books.

  • Let the total number of books be T.
  • Let the number of hardback books be H.
  • Let the number of paperback books be P.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Total number of books = 36 books

To determine the number of hardback books that are on the bookshelf:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

The total number of books is:

T = H+P

The number of hardback books is 15 more than <u>twice</u> the number of paperback books:

H =2P+15

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

36 = 2P+15+P\\\\36=3P+15\\\\3P=36-15\\\\3P=21\\\\P=\frac{21}{3}

P = 7 books

For number of hardback books:

H =2P+15\\\\H=2(7)+15\\\\H=14+15

H = 29 books
