The probability that both items will be Harry Potter themed is 1/8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Total Number of pajama pants n(P) =8

Total number of slippers n(S)= 3

Number of Harry Potter themed Pajama pants n(H.P)=3

Number of Harry Potter themed slippers n(H.S)=1

We have to determine the probability of selecting pants and slippers that are both Harry Potter themed.

If two events A and B are independent, then the probability of A and B is given by

P(A and B)=P(A)*P(B)

Here the events selecting Harry potter themed pants and selecting harry Potter themed slippers are independent.

P(Harry\ Potter\ pants)=\frac{n(H.P)}{n(P)}

                                       =\frac{3}{8}

P(Harry\ Potter\ slippers)=\frac{n(H.S)}{n(S)} \\                                         =1/3

P(Harry\ Potter\ pants\ and\ Harry\ Potter\ slippers)=P(Harry Potter pants)\times P(Harry potter slippers)

=\frac{3}{8}\times  \frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{8}

Hence probability of selecting Harry potter themed pants and Harry potter themed slippers is 1/8

HELP PLEASE ILL GIVE BRAINLISTTTT!!!
Ber [7]

Answer:

Ok I’ll give a simple equation that your teacher probably won’t accept and one that your teacher will accept

Teacher accept: x-45=122

Not accept but way easier: 122+45=x

ALSO The answer to x: 167

Step-by-step explanation:

Heres the loop hole, they asked for 2 sentences but never declared the length of each sentence.

Explanation:

So we know that grace lost 45 pounds and at the end she weighs 122.

We don’t now what the beginning weight so we can make an equation like x-45=122 where x represents her before weight and the subtract 45 is when she lost that much and the final results of 122, if solved You’ll get her begginisng weight, 167.

5. Lisa sold costume jewelry at a bazaar. The
julsineya [31]

Answer:

$4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 Bracelets + 3 rings = $26

2 rings = $12

3 rings = x

To get the cost of 1 ring you divide 12 by 2 and the answer you get is 6.

The total cost of the 3 rings is $18( $6*3)

Then you subtract the cost of both 2 bracelets and 3 rings($26) from the cost of 3 rings($18). The answer is $8. ( THIS IS THE COST OF 2 BRACELETS)

<u>1 BRACELET= $4( $8/2)</u>

A large school district in southern California asked all of its eighth-graders to measure the length of their right foot at the
Ber [7]

Answer:

The probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23 cm is 0.120

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the information in the problem

- The eighth-graders asked to measure the length of their right foot at

  the beginning of the school year, as part of a science project

- The foot length is approximately Normally distributed, with a mean of

 23.4 cm

∴ μ = 23.4 cm

- The standard deviation of 1.7

∴ σ = 1.7 cm

- 25 eighth-graders from this population are randomly selected

∴ n  = 25

- To find the probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23

∴ The sample mean x = 23, find the standard deviation σx

- The rule to find σx is σx = σ/√n

∵ σ = 1.7 and n = 25

∴ σx = 1.7/√25 = 1.7/5 = 0.34

- Now lets find the z-score using the rule z-score = (x - μ)/σx

∵ x = 23 , μ = 23.4 , σx = 0.34

∴ z-score = (23 - 23.4)/0.34 = -1.17647 ≅ -1.18

- Use the table of the normal distribution to find P(x < 23)

- We will search in the raw of -1.1 and look to the column of 0.08

∴ P(X < 23) = 0.119 ≅ 0.120

* The probability of the sample mean foot length less than 23 cm is 0.120

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LOL The graph doesn’t match the y intercept :)

Anyway

If we have point (0,-3) we have a quadratic of

y=ax^2+bx-3 we are given points (-1,0) and (2,0) so

a-b-3=0 and 4a+2b-3=0

4a+2b-3+2(a-b-3)=0

4a+2b-3+2a-2b-6=0

6a-9=0

6a=9

a=1.5, since a-b=3

1.5-b=3

b=-1.5

y=1.5x^2-1.5x-3
