<h3>No it is never possible</h3>

Why not? Because the probability is always between 0 and 1, inclusive of both endpoints.

0 represents impossibility

1 represents absolute certainty

The value 1.5 is larger than 1, so it is outside the range of 0 to 1.

Saying a probability of 1.5 is like saying "the chances of an event happening are 150%" but the largest the percentage can go is 100%, which represents absolute certainty.

Choose the graph which represents the solution to the inequality. 12x + 4 ≤ -8

user100 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps:

$12x+4-4\leq -8$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$12x+4-4\leq -8-4$

Simplify:

$12x\leq \frac{-12}{12}$

Divide both sides by 12:

$\frac{12x}{12} \leq \frac{-12}{12}$

Simplify:

$x\leq -1$

Express the area A of a right triangle as a function of the height h if the base of the triangle is twice it's height

borishaifa [10]

Base = 2 x height (b = 2h)
Area = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 2h x h = h x h = h^2

Factorise = <br> 5m + 20

taurus [48]

So 20=2 itmes m2 times 5

5m=5 times m

so
5m=20
5 times m=2 times 2 times 5
divid eboth sides y 5
m=2 times 2
m=4
