Six hundred paving stones were examined for cracks, and 15 were found to be cracked. The same 600 stones were then examined for

discoloration, and 27 were found to be discolored. A total of 564 stones were neither cracked nor discolored. One of these 600 stones is chosen at random. What is the probability that it is both cracked and distorted?

Answer: 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the events are :

C = paving stones found to be cracked.

D = paving stones found to be discolored.

Given : Total stones : T = 600  (i)

C = 15

D=  27

C'∩D'=  564   (ii)

Since C'∩D' = (C∪D)' = T- C∪D         (iii)

From (i) , (ii)and (ii) , we have

564 = 600- C∪D

⇒ C∪D=600- 564= 36

Formula : C∩D= C+D- C∪D

Put values , we get

C∩D= 15+27-36=6

Now ,

P(C\cap D)=\dfrac{C\cap D}{T}=\dfrac{6}{600}=0.01

The probability that it is both cracked and distorted is 0.01.

2x+y=3<br>x-y= 1<br><br>solve the equation ​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

x = 4/3

y = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations! This is set up really well to make the second equation equal x then substitute.

x - y = 1

x = 1 + y

and then our substitution:

2 (1+y) + y = 3

and solve:

2 + 2y + y = 3

3y + 2 = 3

3y = 1

y = 1/3

And now we can substitute that value into one of our equations:

x - (1/3) = 1

x = 4/3

Next we should check by substituting these values into both of our equations:

2 (4/3) + (1/3) = 3

9 / 3 does equal 3 !

(4/3) - (1/3) does equal 1 !

Therefore, x = 4/3 , and y = 1/3

If f(x) = 12x+2, then f^-1(x) =??​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 12x + 2

f^-1(x) = ?

Now

Let y = f(x)

or y = 12x + 2

Interchanging the role of x and y

x = 12y + 2

x - 2 = 12y

y = <u>x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

12

Therefore f^-1(x) = <u>x </u><u>-</u><u> </u><u>2</u>

12

Hope it will help you.
