Answer:

A) \dfrac{11}{23}

B) \dfrac{88}{345}

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey of 46 college athletes found that

  • 24 played volleyball,
  • 22 played basketball.

A) If we pick one athlete survey participant at random,  the probability they play basketball is

P_1=\dfrac{22}{46}=\dfrac{11}{23}

B) If we pick 2 athletes at random (without replacement),

  • the probability we get one volleyball player is \dfrac{24}{46}=\dfrac{12}{23};
  • the probability we get another basketball player is \dfrac{22}{45} (only 45 athletes left).

Thus, the probability we get one volleyball player and one basketball player is

P_2=\dfrac{12}{23}\cdot \dfrac{22}{45}=\dfrac{88}{345}

How do i solve this.
nignag [31]

Let us set up some variables:

  • L: Length
  • W: Width

Now let us set up some equations based on the facts:

  • length of rectangle is 4 times its width --> L = 4W
  • perimeter of rectangle is 80 --> 2L + 2W = 80

Equations:

   L = 4W     -- equation 1

   2L + 2W = 80 -- equation 2

   Plug the value of L from equation 1 into equation 2

    2(4W) + 2W = 80

     8W + 2W = 80

        10W = 80

           W = 8 -- equation 3

   

   Plug the value of W from equation 3 into equation 1:

    L = 4W = 4 * 8 = 32

Therefore the length is 32 and the width is 8.

Hope that helps!

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y =24 when x=8. what is the value of y when x=10?
arlik [135]
The value of y when x is equal to 10 is 30. This is because for every value of x the value of y is 3. This can be known if you divide 24 by 8 you get 3. So if x=10 then y would equal 30.
