Answer: Our required probability is 0.044.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of customers who have entered the drawing = 17

Number of customers live in the town of Gaston = 5

Number of customers live in Pike = 4

Number of customers live in Wells = 8

The first customer will be selected and then second customer will be selected from the remaining .

Probability of getting first customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{4}{17}

Probability of getting second customers are Pike residents = \dfrac{3}{16}

So, the probability that both customers selected are Pike residents are

\dfrac{4}{17}\times \dfrac{3}{16}\\\\=0.044

Hence, our required probability is 0.044.

The value of y varies directly with x and y = 4.5 when x = 0.5. find y when x = 10
Pepsi [2]
So what you asked this is what I got

x(y) = 4.5

If x= 0.5 then 

0.5(y) = 4.5
y=9

x(y) = 4.5

10(y) = 4.5
y= 0.45



hope this helps :)

Solve for k <br> 7k+2m = kr + 4m + 3
professor190 [17]

Answer:

\large\boxed{k=\dfrac{2m+3}{7-r}\ \text{for}\ r\neq7}

Step-by-step explanation:

7k+2m=kr+4m+3\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2m\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7k+2m-2m=kr+4m-2m+3\\\\7k=kr+2m+3\qquad\text{subtract}\ kr\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7k-kr=kr-kr+2m+3\\\\7k-kr=2m+3\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\k(7-r)=2m+3\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ (7-r)\neq0\\\\k=\dfrac{2m+3}{7-r}
