<u>Answer:</u>

1/11

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that 4 cans filled with regular soda were labelled diet soda and placed in a 12 pack carton.

Two cans were picked randomly and we are to find the probability that both cans were of regular soda.

No. of cans with regular soda = 4

No. of cans with diet soda = 8

P (both cans regular soda) = 4/12 * 3/11 = 1/11

Answer:

Probability that both cans were regular soda =  \frac{1}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \frac{Desired outcome}{Total possible outcomes}

We are given 12 total number of cans; 4 cans have been accidentally filled with diet soda.

Probability that first can is a regular soda:

Outcome that first can is a regular soda will give us the number of regular soda available which are 4

Using formula of probability

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 12

Desired outcome: 4 (cans of regular soda)

P(1st can) =  \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Probability that 2nd can is a regular soda:

<em>As we have already taken a can of regular soda from the pack, the total soda in the pack now 11 and the regular soda left are 3.</em>

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 11

Desired outcome: 3 (cans of regular soda as one has already been taken)

P(2nd can) =  \frac{3}{11}


Probability that both cans are regular soda:

P(both) = P(1st can) × P(2nd can)

             = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{11}

             = \frac{1}{11}

ANSWER PLEASE 40 POINTS!
tangare [24]

Answer: |10 - (-8)|  

The absolute value is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.

10 - (-8)  Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive

10 + 8 = 18

If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"

Answer:

- 1 < x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

- 6 < 2x - 4 < 4 \\  - 6 + 4 < 2x < 4 + 4 \\  - 2 < 2x < 8 \\  \frac{ - 2}{2}  < x <  \frac{8}{2}  \\  \purple{ \boxed{ \bold{ - 1 < x < 4}}}
