Answer:

(x, y) = (-4, -15)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can equate the expressions for y and solve for x.

3/4x -12 = -4x -31

Adding 4x+12 gives ...

(4 3/4)x = -19

(19/4)x = -19

Multiplying by 4/19, we find ...

x = -4

Substituting that into the first equation, we can find y:

y = (3/4)(-4) -12 = -15

The solution is (x, y) = (-4, -15).

Answer: (i) 1/221 (ii) 11/221 (iii) 95/663 (iv) 1/663

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) A deck of cards contains 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Kings out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 3 remaining Kings out of 51 total remaining cards → 3/51 = 1/17

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

King: P(K) = 1/13 King: P(K₂/K₁) = 1/17 King, King (1/13) x (1/17) = 1/221

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Jacks, 4 Queens, & 4 Kings out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 12 Face cards out of 52 total cards → 12/52 = 3/13

2nd draw: 11 remaining Face cards out of 51 total remaining cards → 11/51

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

Face: P(F) = 3/13 Face: P(F₂/F₁) = 11/51 Face,Face (3/13) x (11/51) = 11/221

*************************************************************************************************

(iiI) A deck of cards contains 26 black cards out of 52 total cards but there are 2 black Jacks, 2 black Queens, and 2 black Kings.

1st draw: 20 Black (not Face) cards out of 52 total cards → 20/52 = 5/13

2nd draw: 19 remaining Black (not Face) cards out of 51 total remaining cards → 19/51

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

Black: P(B~) = 5/13 Black: P(B~₂/B~₁) = 19/51 B~,B~ (5/13) x (19/51) = 95/663

*************************************************************************************************

(ii) A deck of cards contains 4 Aces out of 52 total cards

1st draw: 4 Aces out of 52 total cards → 4/52 = 1/13

2nd draw: 1 Queen of Hearts out of 51 total remaining cards → 1/51

1st Draw 2nd Draw Outcome Probability

Ace: P(A) = 1/13 Qh: P(Qh₂/A₁) = 1/51 Ace,Queen(h) (1/13) x (1/51) = 1/663

What would the graph of y=x look like? name three ordered pairs that lie on the line.

ololo11 [35]

-- The graph looks like a line that passes through the origin,
and slopes up to the right at a 45-degree angle.

-- Point #1 on the line:
. . . . . Pick any number.
. . . . . Write it down twice.
. . . . . Call the first one 'x'. Call the second one 'y'.

-- Point #2 on the line:
. . . . . Pick any other number.
. . . . . Write it down twice.
. . . . . Call the first one 'x'. Call the second one 'y'.

-- Point #3 on the line:
. . . . . Pick any other number.
. . . . . Write it down twice.
. . . . . Call the first one 'x'. Call the second one 'y'.

Rinse and repeat, as many times as you like,
until the novelty wears off and you lose interest.

A baseball player hit 65 home runs in a season. Of the 65 home runs, 19 went to right field, 23 went to right-center field, 9

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

a) 29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

b) 29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field, which is not lower than 5% nor it is higher than 95%. So it was not unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. It is said to be unusual if it is lower than 5% or higher than 95%.

(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field?

Desired outcomes:

19 home runs hit to right field

Total outcomes:

65 home runs

19/65 = 0.2923

29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field

(b) Was it unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field?

29.23% probability that a randomly selected home run was hit to right field, which is not lower than 5% nor it is higher than 95%. So it was not unusual for this player to hit a home run to right field.
