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

The incline of a roller coaster is 2 times as long as its elevation, and the horizontal length of the roller coaster is 11 m mor
Gelneren [198K]
Let 
x-------> t<span>he horizontal length of the roller coaster
y------> </span>the elevation of the roller coaster
c------> t<span>he incline of a roller coaster
</span>
we know that
applying the Pythagoras theorem
c²=x²+y²-----> equation 1
c=2y-----> equation 2
x=11+y----> equation 3

substitute equation 2 and equation 3 in equation 1
[2y]²=(11+y)²+y²
4y²=11²+22y+y²+y²
2y²-22y-121=0

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the second order equation
see the attached figure

the solution is 
y=15.026 m

c=2*y-----> c=2*15.026----> c=30.052 m

the answer is
30.05 m

Which situation represents a proportional relationship?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

D. The cost of purchasing avocados for $1.75 per pound plus a shipping fee of $0.16 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear relationship is of the form y=mx+b, where, m is the unit rate and b is the fixed value (constant).

For a proportional relationship, the value of b=0 and thus it is of the form y=mx

Let us check each option and express it in the form above.

Option A:

Given:

Unit rate of purchasing a basket of apples, m=\$ 1.25

Fixed price for the basket, b=\$ 5

Since, b \ne 0, therefore, it is not a proportional relationship.

Option B:

Given:

Unit rate of purchasing a banana, m=\$ 5

Fixed price for the box, b=\$ 3

Since, b \ne 0, therefore, it is not a proportional relationship.

Option C:

Given:

Unit rate of purchasing a lime, m=\$ 0.65

Discount from total cost, b=\$ 1

Since, b \ne 0, therefore, it is not a proportional relationship.

Option D:

Given:

Unit rate of purchasing an avocado = \$ 1.75

Unit rate of shipping = \$ 0.16

Therefore, total cost per pound is the sum of the unit rates of purchasing and shipping. So,

Total cost of avocados per pound, m=1.75+0.16=\$ 1.91

There is no fixed cost on this. So, b=0

Since, b = 0, therefore, it is a proportional relationship.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
