Answer:

<em>3/40000</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Data:</em>

<em>Business 500 students</em>

<em>Laws 800 students</em>

<em>30 pairs of siblings, 1 in each school</em>

<em />

<em>It is required to calculate the probability that a random pair of siblings is chosen.</em>

<em />

<em>For this:</em>

<em>Business, of 500 students we have 30 siblings to choose one</em>

<em />

<em>30/500</em>

<em />

<em>Continue, choose the sibling's partner, Laws, of 800 only 1 is the sibling of the chosen in Business.</em>

<em />

<em>1/800</em>

<em />

<em>So we have:</em>

<em>(30/500) * (1/800) = 30/400000 = 3/40000</em>

<em />

<em>You can choose in reverse, first Laws and then Business, leaving:</em>

<em>(30/800) * (1/500)= 30/400000 = 3/40000</em>

<em />

<em>And it gives the same result: 3/40000</em>

Find a formula for the sum of the first n even integers : 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n.
Sedbober [7]

Let S be the sum,

S = 2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2 (n - 2) + 2 (n - 1) + 2n

Reverse the order of terms:

S = 2n + 2 (n - 1) + 2 (n - 2) + ... + 6 + 4 + 2

Add up terms in the same positions, so that twice the sum is

2S = (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + (2n + 2) + ... + (2n + 2)

or

2S = n (2n + 2)

Divide both sides by 2 to solve for S :

S = n (n + 1)

Find the value of x so that L is parallel to M. State the converse used!
galben [10]

Answer:

<h3>6 degrees</h3>

Step-by-step explanation

Find the diagram attached. In Line geometry, there is a theorem that states that the sum of the adjacent interior angles is 180 degrees. According to the diagram, the adjacent interior angles are 7x- 15 and 24x + 9.

The sum of this angles must give 180 degrees as shown;

7x-15 + 24x + 9 = 180

7x+24x-15+9 = 180

31x-6 = 180

31x = 180+6

31x = 186

x = 186/31

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6 degrees
