INFORMATION:
We know that:
- stack of mail consists of 8 bills, 10 letters, and 6 advertisements.
- One piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside. Then a second piece of mail is drawn.
And we must find P (both are letters)
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:
To find the probability, we need to know that we have two events. First, when one piece of mail is drawn at random and put aside and, second, when a second piece of mail is drawn.
These two events are dependent. If A and B are dependent events, P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B after A) where P(B after A) is the probability that B occurs after A has occurred.
So, first
- Probability of A (the first piece is letter)
- Probability of B after A
Since A already occurred and one piece of the mail was drawn (a letter), now in total we would have 9 letter and 23 total pieces
Finally, replacing in the initial formula
Finally, the probability would be 0.1630
ANSWER:
P (both are letters) = 0.1630
Answer:
<em>a</em> = -10 and <em>b</em> = 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>w</em> represent the width of the rectangle.
We are given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm, this means that:
Let's put <em>w</em> in terms of <em>x</em>. Divide both sides by two:
And solve for <em>w:</em>
<em /><em />
So, the rectangle measures <em>x</em> by (10 -<em> x</em>) cm.
<em />
According to the Pythagorean Theorem:
<em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the legs and <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse.
Substitute <em>x</em> for <em>a, w</em> for <em>b</em>, and 8 for <em>c:</em>
<em /><em />
Simplify and substitute:
Square:
Isolate the equation. So:
Since the leading coefficient is one, divide both sides by two:
Therefore, <em>a</em> = -10 and <em>b</em> = 18.
