Answer:

(a) P(sum is 8) = 1/20

(b) P(sum is 6 or less) = 3/10

(c) P(first number is 2 or the sum is 5) = 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The probability (P) of having 8 as the sum of the numbers is;

P(3 and 5) = 1/5 × 1/4 = 1/20

(b) Probability that the sum of the numbers is 6 or less.

P(sum is 6) = P(2 and 4) or P(1 and 5) = 1/20 + 1/20 = 1/10

P(sum is less than 6) = P(1 and 4) or P(1 and 3) or P(1 and 2) or P(2 and 3) = 1/20 × 4 = 1/5

P(sum is 6 or less) = 1/10 + 1/5 = 3/10

(c) The first number is 2 or the sum is 5

P(first number is 2) = 1 - P(first number is 1) - P(first number is 3) - P(first number is 4) - P(first number is 5) = 1 - 4(1/5) = 1/5

P(sum is 5) = P(1 and 4) or P(2 and 3) = 1/20 + 1/20 = 1/10

P(first number is 2 or sum is 5) = 1/5 + 1/10 = 3/10

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2,-4) and (0,4)
LenKa [72]

Answer:

step 1. y - y1 = m(x - x1). this is the equation given a point and a slope.

step 2. find the slope m. m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (4 - (-4))/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = -4.

step 3. y - (-4) = -4(x - 2) ; y + 4 = -4x + 8.

step 4. y = -4x + 4.

Two similar prisms have heights 4 cm and 10cm what is the ratio of their surface areas
Slav-nsk [51]
Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms P_{1} and P_{2}, such that for corresponding parts of prisms P_{1} and P_{2} (for heights, in particular) we have k= \frac{height\  of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\  P_{2} }. In our case k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}.
For surfaces area we have \frac{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \  P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}.
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)
