\frac{\textbf{1}}{\textbf{20}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability=\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior=\frac{\text{number of senior girls}}{\text{total number of girls}}

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior=\frac{7}{8+11+9+7}=\frac{7}{35}=\frac{1}{5}

Probability for a randomly chosen boy to be senior=\frac{\text{number of senior boys}}{\text{total number of boys}}

Probability for a randomly chosen girl to be senior=\frac{9}{10+7+10+9}=\frac{9}{36}=\frac{1}{4}

For two independent events,

Probability for both event 1 and event 2 to take place=\text{probability of event 1} \times \text{probability of event 2}

Since choosing boys and girls is independent,

Probability for both boy an girl chosen to be senior=\text{probability for boy to be senior}\times\text{probability for girl to be senior}

Probability for both boy and girl chosen to be senior=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{20}

So,required probability is \frac{1}{20}

Match the verbal expression (term) with its algebraic expression (definition).
UkoKoshka [18]

The matching of definitions and terms are done below.

  1. Some number increased by two ⇒ b + 2
  2. A variable decreased by two ⇒ x – 2
  3. Product of an unknown value and two ⇒ 2z
  4. Quotient of some number and two ⇒ a ÷ 2
  5. An unknown value squared ⇒ y²

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

Match the verbal expression (term) with its algebraic expression (definition).

Some number increased by two ⇒ b + 2

A variable decreased by two ⇒ x – 2

Product of an unknown value and two ⇒ 2z

Quotient of some number and two ⇒ a ÷ 2

An unknown value squared ⇒ y²

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°. The middle-sized angle measures 3° more than 2 times the smallest a
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

13° , 29° , 138°

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the smallest angle , then

2x + 3 is the middle angle and

2x + 3 + 109 is the largest angle

summing the 3 angles and equating to 180

x + 2x + 3 + 2x + 3 + 109 = 180 , that is

5x + 115 = 180 ( subtract 115 from 180 )

5x = 65 ( divide both sides by 5

x = 13

2x + 3 = 2(13) + 3 = 26 + 3 = 29

2x + 3 + 109 = 29 + 109 = 138

the 3 angles are 13° , 29° , 138°

0.75 because 100cm = 1m so you just move the decimal to the right by 2

Pleaseee someone help me in this question ihave bben eating for half an hour and no one helped me.
pav-90 [236]
Cross Multiply by 'x - 5'
Hence
y(x - 5) = 4 -3x
xy - 5y = 4 - 3x

Move all the terms containing an 'x' to one side of the equals and all the others to the opposite side.
xy + 3x = 4 + 5y
Factor out 'x'
x(y + 3) = 4 + 5y
'Cross' divide by 'y + 3'
x = ( 4 + 5y) / (y + 3 )

'x' is now the subject.
