I hope this helps you

Sarah 2x+30

Sheila x

2x+30+x=150

3x+30=150

3x=120

x= 60 kg Sheila

Sarah 2x+30=2.60+30=150

Answer:

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{6}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities

The question describes an event where two counters are taken out of a bag that originally contains 11 counters, 5 of which are white.

Let's call W to the event of picking a white counter in any of the two extractions, and N when the counter is not white. The sample space of the random experience is

$\Omega=\{WW,WN,NW,NN\}$

We are required to compute the probability that only one of the counters is white. It means that the favorable options are

$A=\{WN,NW\}$

Let's calculate both probabilities separately. At first, there are 11 counters, and 5 of them are white. Thus the probability of picking a white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{11}$

Once a white counter is out, there are only 4 of them and 10 counters in total. The probability to pick a non-white counter is now

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{10}$

Thus the option WN has the probability

$\displaystyle P(WN)=\frac{5}{11}\cdot \frac{6}{10}=\frac{30}{110}=\frac{3}{11}$

Now for the second option NW. The initial probability to pick a non-white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{6}{11}$

The probability to pick a white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{10}$

Thus the option NW has the probability

$\displaystyle P(NW)=\frac{6}{11}\cdot \frac{5}{10}=\frac{30}{110}=\frac{3}{11}$

The total probability of event A is the sum of both

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{3}{11}+\frac{3}{11}=\frac{6}{11}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{6}{11}}$

There are 10 cranberry and 15 strawberry juices. You randomly pick two juices. What's the probability you'll get two strawberry

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

7/20

Explanation:

The theoretical probability, P (A), of an event, A, is:

P(A) = number of outcomes of event A / total number of possible outcomes

For 10 cranberry and 15 strawberry juices, the number of outcomes for two strawberry juices are:

Combination of 15 strawberry juices chosen in two:

$C^{15}_{2}=\frac{15!}{(15-2)!(2!)}=\frac{15!}{13!2!}=\frac{15\times 14}{2}=105$

The total number of possible outcomes is:

Combination of 25 juices chosen in two:

$C^{25}_{2}=\frac{25!}{(25-2)!(2!)}=\frac{25!}{23!2!}=\frac{25\times 24}{2}=300$

Thus, the probability of randomly picking two strawberry juices is:

P (two strawberry juices) = 105/300 = 7/20

Note that you can obtain it as the product of the probabilities that the first juice is a strawberry juice and the second juice is also strawberry juice:

$15/25\times 14/24=(15\times 25)/(14\times 24)=210/600=7/20$

What is the slope of this graph? −1/3 3 1/3 −3

FromTheMoon [43]

I'm assuming there is probably a graph that goes with this problem so here is all the info I can give you with the four choices: If it is -1/3, the line will go DOWN 1, over 3 (just count on the graph) If it is 3, the line will go UP 3, over 1 If it is 1/3, the line will go UP 1, over 3 And if it it -3, it will go DOWN 3, over 1 (If the slope is 3 or -3, it would be quite steep compared to a slope of 1/3 or -1/3) Hope that helps!
