Answer:

Total number of way to  pick 3 letters is 6C3 = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(E) = 3/6 = 1/2

P(O) = 3/6 = 1/2

The intersection is P(E n O) = P(E)P(O | E)

= 1/2(2/5)

= 1/5

P( E or O but not both) = P(E and not O) + P(O and not E)

(THis step is easier to understand if you shade in a venn diagram for this):

= [ P(E) - P(E n O) ] + [ P(O) - P(O n E) ]

= 1/2 - 1/5 + 1/2 - 1/5

= 1 - 2/5

= 3/5

The P (E or O or both ) is just the union of the two:

P( E U O) = P(E) + P(O) - P(E n O)

= 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/5

= 4/5

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of inequalities ? (1, –5) (3, 0) (–1, –2) (1, 5)
Musya8 [376]

Point (3,0) is system solution.

<h3>What is inequality?</h3>

A statement of an order relationship—greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to—between two numbers or algebraic expressions.

We have

y> -2

x + y <4

  • For (1,-5):

First inequation:

-5> -2 (incorrect)

Second inequality:

1-5 <4 (correct)

  • For (3,0):

First inequation:

0> -2 (correct)

Second inequality:

0+3 <4 (correct)

  • For (-1,-2):

First inequation:

-2> -2 (incorrect)

Second inequality:

-1-2 <4 (correct)

  • For (1,5):

First inequation:

5> -2 (correct)

Second inequality:

1+5 <4 (incorrect)

Hence, Point (3,0) is system solution.
