Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive. For example, some possibilities are (3,7),

(7,3), (4,4), (8,1), where your number is written first and your friend’s number second. Find the following probabilities.
a. p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)
b. p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)
c. p(both numbers match)

Answer and explanation:

Given : Suppose you and a friend each choose at random an integer between 1 and 8, inclusive.

The sample space is

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)  (1,7) (1,8)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)   (2,7) (2,8)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)   (3,7) (3,8)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)   (4,7) (4,8)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)   (5,7) (5,8)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)   (6,7) (6,8)

(7,1) (7,2) (7,3) (7,4) (7,5) (7,6)   (7,7) (7,8)

(8,1) (8,2) (8,3) (8,4) (8,5) (8,6)   (8,7) (8,8)

Total number of outcome = 64

To find : The following probabilities ?

Solution :

The probability is given by,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome }}{\text{Total outcome}}

a) p(you pick 5 and your friend picks 8)

The favorable outcome is (5,8)= 1

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{64}

b) p(sum of the two numbers picked is < 4)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (1,2), (2,1)= 3

\text{Probability}=\frac{3}{64}

c) p(both numbers match)

The favorable outcome is (1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (4,4), (5,5), (6,6), (7,7), (8,8) = 8

\text{Probability}=\frac{8}{64}

\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{8}

Mr. Kohl has a breaker containing n milliliters of solution to distribute to the students in his chemistry class. If he gives ea
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Kohl has a "x" amount of solution, if he divides it by the number of students "n" he'll give each student 3 milliliters  and have a left over of 5 milliliters. If the amount of solution Mr. Kohl had was "x + 21" then he'd be able to give each student 4 milliliters of the solution. From these informations we have:

x = 3*n + 5

(x + 21)/n = 4

x + 21 = 4*n

x = 4*n - 21

Now that we have two equations and two variables we can solve the system of equations, as seen bellow:

3*n + 5 = 4*n - 21

3*n - 4*n = -21 - 5

-n = -26

n = 26

x = 4*26 - 21 = 83 ml

There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.

Is 9 a solution to the equation 21=3p-5? Show work
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

21 = 3p - 5

<u>Step 1</u> : Add 5 on both sides

21 + 5 = 3p

26 = 3p

3p = 26

<u>Step 2</u> : Divide 3 on both sides

p = 26/3

Hence, the solution of the given equation is 26/3, not 9.

What are the vertical asymptotes of the function f(x) = the quantity of 2 x plus 8, all over x squared plus 5 x plus 6?
lutik1710 [3]
You'd find the vertical asymptotes by seeing where the denominator equals zero; you can do so by factoring the denominator.
In this case, you can factor the denominator into (x+3)(x+2), so if you set each of those equal to zero you can find the equations of the vertical asymptotes (x=-3 and x=-2).
