The two events have independent probabilities.

To get the probability of both of the events happening, you should multiply them:

2% (or 0.02) * 2.5% (or 0.025) = 0.0005 or 0.05%

The probability that both machines will break down on a given day is 0.05%.

How do I determine the 50th term for the sequence <br> -5, -1, 3, 7, 11
Mademuasel [1]
The sequence is going up by 4 so u have to multiply each term by four and the -5 is it’s 0th term as well it’s beginning so you have to input that in the equation as well
4(50) - 5 = 200 - 5 = 195

Answer:

x = -3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

in the given question :-

=》x - 4y = 1

=》x = 4y + 1

now replacing the value of x as ( 4y + 1 ) in equation (2)

=》3x + 2y = -11

=》3 (4y + 1) + 2y = -11

=》12y + 3 + 2y = -11

=》14y = -11 - 3

=》y = -14 ÷ 14

=》y = -1

now, putting the value of y in equation (1)

=》x - 4y = 1

=》x - ( 4 × -1 ) = 1

=》x + 4 = 1

=》x = 1 - 4

=》x = -3
