Answer:

probability that contractor 1,2 and 3 win is 33%,50% and 17% respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that there are no other contractors then:

probability that 1 , 2 or 3 win = 1

denoting as X= probability that contractor 3 wins , then assuming that only one wins , we have

probability that 1 , 2 or 3 win = 1

probability that contractor 1 wins + probability that contractor 2 wins + probability that contractor 3 wins = 1

2*P(X) + 3*P(X) + P(X) = 1

6*P(X) = 1

P(X) =1/6

then

-probability that contractor 1 wins = 2/6 (33%)

-probability that contractor 3 wins = 3/6 (50%)

-probability that contractor 3 wins = 1/6 (17%)

What is the solution to the equation 13.7y = 6.2y + 30?
il63 [147K]

Here, we are required to determine the solution to the equation: 13.7y = 6.2y + 30?

The solution to the equation is y = 7.5

The solution is thus,

  • 13.7y = 6.2y + 30
  • 13.7y - 6.2y = 30
  • 7.5y = 30

Therefore, y = 30/7.5 = 4

Therefore, y = 4 is the solution to the equation.

Hello guys can you help me with this?​
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Title of the graph → Comparison of the Plant Growth

2. y-axis represents the height of the plants in centimeters.

3. On day 2:

   Height of plant A (plant outside) = 5.1 cm

   Height of plant B (plant near the window) = 2.25 cm

4. Plant outside shows great increase in the height.

    On day 5,

    Height of the plant outside = 6.75 cm

    Growth in height from day 2 to day 5 = 6.75 - 5.1

                                                                   = 1.65 cm

    Height of the plant near the window = 2.5 cm

    Growth in height of the plant from day 2 to day 5 = 2.5 - 2.25

                                                                                        = 0.25 cm

    Therefore, plant outside shows the great increase in height.

5. Plant near the window grew 0.25 cm in height.

A car dealership earns a portion of its profit on the accessories sold with a car. The dealer sold a Toyota Camry loaded with ac
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

y = 2666.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve this we can make a system of equations.

x = cost of car alone

y = cost of accesories,

\left \{ {{x+y=24000} \atop {x=8y}} \right.

So now we plug in 8y for x in x + y = 24000.

(8y) + y = 24000

9y = 24000

Divide both sides by 9

y = 2666.666666

or 2666.67 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Now that we have y we can plug that in for y in x=8y.

x = 8(2.666.67)

x = 21,333.33 rounded to the nearest hundredth.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>accessories "y" cost around 2666.67.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>
