Answer:

See below in bold,.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 30-17 = 13 boys in the class.

a.  Prob(First is a boy ) = 13/30 and Prob( second is a boy = 12/29).

As these 2 events are independent:

Prob( 2 boys being picked) = 13/30 * 12/29 =  26/145 or 0.179 to the nearest thousandth.

b. By a similar method to a:

Prob ( 2 girls being picked) =  17/30 * 16/29 = 136/435 = 0.313 to the nearest thousandth.

c.  Prob (First student is a boy and second is a girl) =  13/30 * 17/29 = 221/870.

Prob ( first student is a girl and second is a boy)  = 17/30 * 13/29 = 221/870

These 2 events are not independent so they are added:

Prob( one of the students is a boy)  = 2 (221/870 =  221/435 = 0.508 to the nearest thousandth.

Pls, can someone answer this, Explain, using words and numbers, how to subtract 7x - ( 6x + 13). Remember to include the solutio
Hitman42 [59]
So first you distribute the negative to the 6x and 13 which will flip the sign of both of them to -6x and -13 so take away the parentheses and the equation is now 7x-6x-13. You combine the x’s and you get 1x-13 or x-13

4x + 6y - z=-18<br> 3x +2y - 4z = -24<br> - 5x + 3y + 2z = 15<br> find x y and z
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

x = -2, y = -1, z = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 6y - z=-18

z  = 18  + 4 x  +  6 y

3x +2y - 4z = -24

z  = 6  + (3x)/ 4  +  y /2

- 5x + 3y + 2z = 15

z = 15/2 + (5x)/2 - (3y)/2

18  + 4 x  +  6 y = 6  + (3x)/ 4  +  y /2  = 15/2 + (5x)/2 - (3y)/2

x = -22y/13 - 48/13

4(-22y/13 - 48/13) + 6y - (15/2 + (5(-22y/13 - 48/13))/2 - (3y)/2) = -18

Compute the output value of the variables x and y with respect to the input values of x, y, and z coefficients.
