Chen's pocket holds 10 coins: 3 quarters, 4 dimes, 1 nickle, and 2 pennies. What are the chances that he first randomly pulls ou

t a quarter and then, without putting the quarter back in, pulls out a penny at random?

All the outcomes are 10 (possibilities)


To pull a quarter (total 3), its probability = 3/10 or 0.3

Now without putting the quarter back, the remaining total is now 9 (because one quarter was pulled out) so the probability of getting a penny is 2/9

But this is a conditional probability a) 1st pull a quarter & 2nd pull a penny

So the total probability is 3/10 x 2/9 =6/90 = 1/15 = 0.067

Why are decimals called decimals​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A decimal is a fraction written in a special form. ... Decimal comes from the Latin word decimus, meaning tenth, from the root word decem, or 10. The decimal system, therefore, has 10 as its base and is sometimes called a base-10 system. Decimal can also specifically refer to a number in the decimal system.

Y=-1/3x^2-4x-5 in vertex form
grigory [225]

Answer:

Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7   [Vertex form]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5

We need to find the vertex form which is.,

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where (h,k) represents the co-ordinates of vertex.

We apply completing square method to do so.

We have  

Y=-\frac{1}{3}x^2-4x-5

First of all we make sure that the leading co-efficient is =1.

In order to make the leading co-efficient is =1, we multiply each term with -3.

-3\times Y=-3\times\frac{1}{3}x^2-(-3)\times4x-(-3)\times 5

-3Y=x^2+12x+15

Isolating x^2 and x terms on one side.

Subtracting both sides by 15.

-3Y-15=x^2+12x-15-15

-3Y-15=x^2+12x

In order to make the right side a perfect square trinomial, we will take half of the co-efficient of x term, square it and add it both sides side.  

square of half of the co-efficient of x term = (\frac{1}{2}\times 12)^2=(6)^2=36

Adding 36 to both sides.

-3Y-15+36=x^2+12x+36

-3Y+21=x^2+12x+36

Since x^2+12x+36 is a perfect square of (x+6), so, we can write as:

-3Y+21=(x+6)^2

Subtracting 21 to both sides:

-3Y+21-21=(x+6)^2-21

-3Y=(x+6)^2-21

Dividing both sides by -3.

\frac{-3Y}{-3}=\frac{(x+6)^2}{-3}-\frac{21}{-3}

Y=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)^2+7   [Vertex form]

You have $80. Jeans costs $29 and shirts $12. Mom told you to buy one pair of jeans and use the rest of the money to buy shirts.
SIZIF [17.4K]
You can buy 4 shirts because you bought one pair of jean (80 - 29 = 51) and so with the leftover money you could buy 4 shirts because (12 x 4 = 48) and then you'd have a leftover 3 dollars.
