You have the numbers 1-24 written on slips of paper. If you choose one slip at random, what is the probability that you will not

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 is: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two methods to solve the question.

  1. We can find the probability of numbers not divisible by 3
  2. We can find the probability of numbers divisible by 3 and then find the complement of it

We will use the second method:

Given:

There are 24 slips

S = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24}

n(S) = 24

Let A be the event that the slip number is divisible by 3

Then

A = {3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24}

n(A) = 8

The probability of number divisible by 3 is:

P(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)}\\=\frac{8}{24}\\=\frac{1}{3}

The sum of the probability of an event's occurrence and non-occurrence is 1. So the probability of numbers divisible by 3 will be subtracted from 1 to find the probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3.

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 will be:

=1-\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{3-1}{3}\\=\frac{2}{3}

The probability of selecting a number not divisible by 3 is: 2/3

Solve the equation for x and enter your answer in the box below <br> x + 14 =27
Helen [10]

Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation: When solving an equation like this, we are trying to get our variable which is our letter by itself.

So we first want to ask ourselves what is the 14 doing to <em>x</em>. Well, we can see that it's being added to <em>x</em> so to get <em>x</em> by itself, we will do the opposite of addition which is subtraction. So we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.

The +14 -14 cancels out so we're left with <em>x</em> on the left.

On the right, we must subtract 14 from 27 to get 13.

So we have x = 13 which is the solution to this equation.

What is the domain of F(x) = In(x)?
jekas [21]

Answer as an inequality:  x > 0

Answer in interval notation:  (0, \infty)

Answer in words: Set of positive real numbers

All three represent the same idea, but in different forms.

======================================================

Explanation:

Any log is the inverse of an exponential equation. Consider a general base b such that f(x) = b^x. The inverse of this is f^{-1}(x) = \log_b(x)

For the exponential b^x, we cannot have b^x = 0. We can get closer to it, but we can't actually get there. The horizontal asymptote is y = 0.

Because of this, \log_b(x) has a vertical asymptote x = 0 (recall that x and y swap, so the asymptotes swap as well). This means we can get closer and closer to x = 0 from the positive side, but never reach x = 0 itself.

The domain of \log_b(x) is x > 0 which in interval notation would be (0, \infty). This is the interval from 0 to infinity, excluding both endpoints.

------------------------

The natural log function Ln(x) is a special type of log function where the base is b = e = 2.718 approximately.

So,

\log_e(x) = \text{Ln}(x)

allowing all of what was discussed in the previous section to apply to this Ln(x) function as well.

------------------------

In short, the domain is the set of positive real numbers. We can't have x be 0 or negative.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

18ft

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = CD = BA

CD = 2CE

BD = BA + AC + CD = 2CE + 2CE + 2CE

= 6CE

CE = 3

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?2(3x+ 2) = 23 x+1<br> 21ę x+ 2) = x+4<br> 2c 21= x+4)= 2
Ket [755]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (1).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+2)=2\frac{2}{5}x+1

\frac{4x}{5}+4=\frac{12}{5}x+1

Therefore, both the sides of the expression are not equal.

False.

Option (2).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+2)=\frac{4}{5}x+4

\frac{4x}{5}+4=\frac{4}{5}x+4

True.

Option (3).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+4)=\frac{4}{5}x+2

\frac{4}{5}x+8=\frac{4}{5}x+2

False.

Option (4).

2(\frac{2}{5}x+4)=2\frac{2}{5}x+8

\frac{4x}{5}+8=\frac{12}{5}x+8

Both the sides are not equal.

False.
