Answer:

The Answer is 0,133484. The same number as (60/80)^7 or 0.75^7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of an event occurring is <em>p</em>, then the probability of an event not occurring is <em>1-p</em>. Therefore if Lester plays one number, then the probability of that number not winning is 1-\frac{20}{80} or 1-0.25, which is \frac{60}{80} or 0.75

\\Two or more events are independent if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of occurrence of the other. In Lester's game, the probability of a number winning or not winning does not affect the probability of the same number winning or not winning in the next game.

\\In order to find the probability of several events occurring in succession, we multiply the probabilities of the individual events.

\\Therefore if Lester plays one number seven times, the probability that all seven bets lose are (60/80)^7 or 0.75^7

Write a function to represent the set of ordered pairs.<br> {(2, 2), (3,7). (4, 14), (5,23)}
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of ordered pairs {(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)} is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)} is not a

function

The set of ordered pairs {(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)} is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)} is a function

An ordered pair represents a relationship between two values

The first value is the input the second value is the output

1. A relation is a set of inputs and outputs

2. A function is a relation with one output for each input

3. All functions are relations

{(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(1 , 7) , (−1 , 7) , (8 , −6) , (−3 , 2)} is a function

{(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)}

∵ The x-coordinate 4 has two values of y (7 and -6)

∴ The relation above is not a function

The set of ordered pairs {(4 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (4 , −6) , (−3 , −2)} is not a

function

{(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(3 , 7) , (−1 , 2) , (−4 , −2) , (−3 , −2)} is a function

{(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)}

∵ Each x-coordinate in each ordered pair has only one y-coordinate

∴ The relation above is a function

The set of ordered pairs {(−3 , 7) , (1 , 2) , (4 ,−2) , (12,−4)} is a function

3_1/2 divided by 5/8<br> What is the answer
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

28/5 or 5  3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to make the mixed number into an improper fraction, like this:

3 1/2 turns into 7/2

Next you will need to do the reciprocal of division and inverse operation:

7/2 times 8/5

Then solve it:

7/2 * 8/5 = 56/10

Last simplify:

28/5

or

5  3/5

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

y=640-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of ounces in the bucket is 640, and it decreases by 3 each minute. For example, if you plug in 3 for x into that equation (which would represent 3 minutes), you would lose 9 ounces of water, which makes sense in the terms of the equation.
