As your sixteenth birthday approaches you are looking for ways to make money so you can buy a used car. Currently, you earn $10

a week for doing chores around the house. Your father realizes that you are trying to save up, and offers you the following deal. You can either be paid the $10, or you can pull two bills from a brown paper bag. In the bag there are two $1 bills, two $5 bills, and a $10 bill. For example, you might pull out a $1 bill followed by a $5 bill, and earn only $6. Or you might pull out the $10 bill followed by a $5 bill and earn $15. If you were given this option every week, what would be better for you to do in the long run? Is pulling two bills from the paper bag a great way to make money? Justify your answer​

A. Personally if i was given these 2 options i would take the choice of drawing 2 bills from the bag per week.

B. Yes, i do not think pulling 2 bills from the bag is a good way to make money.

A. You could either get 10$ per week or you could get, 2$ 6$ 6$ 10$ 11$ 11$ 15$ 15$ now this depends largely on luck but logically 5 out of 9 times you will get 10 dollars or more so there is a higher chance you get more money from drawing money.

B. It is a good way to make money because 2/9ths of the time you will get 15$ and for every time you get 6$ you will get an equal amount of 15$ and you will get 21$ in the 2 weeks so it adds up, if you have bad luck or do this for a short amount of time then you could be losing out but if you have an average amount of luck then it will be worth the chance.

8. An intrusion prevention system can either wait until it has all the information it needs or can allow packets through based o
MrRa [10]

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Remember, </em>any network security system that constantly monitors a network infrastructure in other to detect and prevent threats to the network is called an intrusion prevention system (IPS.

Many experts agree that a major advantage of waiting until the intrusion system <em>has all the information</em> it needs is that it would allow for easy sensing of a packet drop that can stop the trigger packet.

True:

3rd One

4th One

False: All of the others.

It's a straight line, so it is going to have straight qualities and straight inequalities throughout the graph.

Number of successes = 5

Number of failures = 2 + 6 = 8

Numbers of ways to draw a white pearl: number of ways to draw another jewelry.

5:8

The odds are 5:8

The numbers x and y are inversely proportional. When the sum of x and y is 42, x is twice y. What is the value of y when x = -8?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42.   We know that x plus y equals 42.

x=2y .   We also know that x equals twice y.

2y+y=42.   Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.

y=14.   3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)

x+14=42.   Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.

x=28.  Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.

When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.

Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)
