Distribution is one of the most important terms of math you need to know.

Distributing, in this case, is when you take the -6 and multiply the terms in the parenthesis.

When you do that. You’ll get -78 = -6p+24.

*Remember: a negative times a negative is always positive. A positive times a negative is always negative. If you need more help with this tip, please feel free to reply if you need any better tips and tricks.

Now, you’re going to solve -78-24 (since you switch the sign when you bring one term to the opposite of the equation).

Then you’ll have -102 = -6p

Lastly, instead of multiplying, you divide -102 by -6.

Your final answer should be 17 = p (or flip it to make it p = 17).

A box has two balls, one white and one red. We select one ball, put it back in the box, and select a second ball (sampling with
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

P (T) = 1/4

P ( T | F )    = 1/2  = P(F)

The events are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F the event of picking the white ball first

P (F)= 1/2   ( picking the white ball first)

Let T be the event of getting the white ball twice,

P (T) = P( getting white ball) * P( getting white ball)

          =( 1/2)*(1/2)

           = 1/4

Here P(T∩F) = P(T) because the probability of getting the white balls is the same as probability of getting the white ball first  both the times.

P ( T | F ) = P (T∩F)/ P(F)

                = (1/4)/ (1/2)

                  = (1/2)

                    = 1/2  = P(F)

For the events to be independent the conditional probability P ( T | F )  must be equal to P(T).

Hence the events are not independent.

Which technique is most appropriate to use to solve each equation? Drag the name of the technique into the box to match each equ
faltersainse [42]
(x + 3) (x + 2) = 0
 To solve it, the most appropriate technique is:
 1.) zero product property
 The solutions are:
 (x + 3) = 0
 x = -3
 (x + 2) = 0
 x = -2
 
 x² + 6 = 31
 
To solve it, the most appropriate technique is:
 2.) square root property
 x² = 31-6
 x² = 25
 x = +/- root (25)
 x = +/- 5
 The solutions are:
 x = 5
 x = -5
