Kathleen had a bag of candy-coated chocolates. Of the 60 candies in the bag, 20% were red, 30% were orange, 30% were green, and

20% were blue. Of the blue ones, 10% had a damaged candy coating. Approximately how many of the blue ones had a damaged candy coating?

1.2 of the blue candies were damaged. Out of the 60 candies, 18 were orange (0.3 x 60) and 18 were green (0.3 x 60). 12 of the candies were red (0.2 x 60) and 12 were blue (0.2 x 60). 1.2 of these 12 blue candies were damaged (0.1 x 12).

Answer:

a) 1 / 12

b) 1 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The events are independent since they do not affect each other. The total probability of two independent events is the product of the probabilities of the two events.

a) When rolling a die, there are 6 outcomes, the numbers 1 - 6. There is only 1 outcome where you can get a 2. Therefore, the probability of rolling a two is 1/6.

When flipping a coin, there are two ways it can land: heads or tails. And there is one outcome with heads. The probability of getting head would be 1 / 2.

To find the the total, you multiply the probabilities of the two events: 1 / 6 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 12

b) As stated before, when rolling a die, there are 6 outcomes, the numbers 1 - 6. There are 3 outcomes where she can roll an even number: the numbers 2, 4, or 6. So, the probability of rolling an even number is 3 / 6 or 1 / 2.

When flipping a coin, there are two ways it can land: heads or tails. And there is one outcome with tails. The probability of getting tails would be 1 / 2.

Now, you multiply the two probabilities to get the total probability: 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 4

Simplify the equation -4d - 37 = 7d + 18
exis [7]

Answer:

d=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4d-37=7d +18

move the terms to its correct side

-4d-7d=18+37

calculate the like terms together.

-11d=55

divide both sides by -11. both of the negavtive (-11) will cancel out and become d on the left and on the right 55 will be divided by -11 = -5. the 5 is negative because there's a negative -11 if there were a postive 11 it will be 5 instead of D=-5

We can use linear combinations of the equations to eliminate variables.

3x - 4y = 1
-2x + 3y = 1

To eliminate y we'll make the linear combination of 3 times the first equation minus four times the second. 

9x - 12y = 3
-8x + 12y = 4

Adding,
x = 7

We could solve for y directly but let's use another linear combination, twice the first plus three times the second:

2(3x - 4y) + 3(-2x + 3y)= 2(1)+3(1)

y = 5

Check: 3(7)-4(5)=1 good.   -2(7)+3(5)=1 good.

Q18 Answer: (7,5)

y = -3x + 5
5x - 4y = -3

4y +1(5x - 4y) = 4(-3x + 5) + 1(-3)

5x = -12x + 20 -3

17 x = 17

x = 1
y = -3(1) + 5 = 2
Check: 5(1) - 4(2) = -3 good

Q19 Answer (1,2)

6x + 5y = 25
x = 2y + 24
6x = 12y + 144
5y = 25 - 12y - 144
17y = -119
y = -119/17= -7
x = 2y+24= 10
Check: 6(10)+5(-7)=25 good   2y+24=2(-7)+24=10=x good

Q20 Answer (10,-7)


3x + y = 18
-7x + 3y = -10
9x  + 3y = 54
9x - -7x = 54 - -10
16x = 64
x=4
y = 18 -3x = 18-12=6

Check: 3(4)+6=18 good,  -7(4)+3(6)=-10 good

Q21 Answer: (4,6)
