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

Write an inequality that would include the point (3,78), (0,312), (5,10) to be part of the solution.
just olya [345]

Answer:

We want to write an inequality with the points (3, 78), (0, 312) and (5, 10) as solutions.

Then the set of the x-values is {0, 3, 5}

The set of the y-values is {10. 78. 312}

So if we wrote an inequality like:

y > 5

It would include all these solutions, because:

10 > 5

78 >  5

312 > 5

And this has no restriction on the x-variable, so all the x-value range can be a solution, meaning that the points (3, 78), (0, 312) and (5, 10) are solutions to that inequality.

Another one (also trivial) can be:

x < 9

because:

3 < 9

0 < 9

5 < 9

And we have no restriction on the y-values, then the points (3, 78), (0, 312) and (5, 10) are solutions to that inequality.

Answer:

(a) x = -2y

(c) 3x - 2y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell if an equation is a direct variation equation if it can be written in the format y = kx.

Note that there is no addition and subtraction in this equation.

Let's put these equations in the form y = kx.

(a) x = -2y

  • y = x/-2 → y = -1/2x
  • This is equivalent to multiplying x by -1/2, so this is an example of direct variation.

(b) x + 2y = 12

  • 2y = 12 - x
  • y = 6 - 1/2x
  • This is not in the form y = kx since we are adding 6 to -1/2x. Therefore, this is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

(c) 3x - 2y = 0

  • -2y = -3x
  • y = 3/2x
  • This follows the format of y = kx, so it is an example of direct variation.

(d) 5x² + y = 0

  • y = -5x²
  • This is not in the form of y = kx, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

(e) y = 0.3x + 1.6

  • 1.6 is being added to 0.3x, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

(f) y - 2 = x

  • y = x + 2
  • 2 is being added to x, so it is <u>NOT</u> an example of direct variation.

The following equations are examples of direct variation:

  • x = -2y
  • 3x - 2y = 0
