Individuals shall draw a table consisting of 21 boys in each column and 21 girls in each row as shown on the image below.

The table will have 21x21 = 441 boxes. Mark each box with a letter showing the problem solved by both that boy and girl. Since at least one problem was solved by a girl and a boy, therefore each box will have a letter. Each entrant solved at most six questions, so there can be at most six letters in any row or column. This means six different letters can be there in a row only if at least 11 of the boxes contain letters appearing three or more times in the row. Individuals go through each row and color all the boxes, say blue. Therefore, 11 boxes in each row must be colored blue.

The number of the boxes that must be colored blue = 21 x 11 = 231. Individuals can apply the same process to the columns and color at least 231 boxes, say green. But the total boxes are 441 only. Therefore, by Pigeonhole principle, there will be some boxes which will be both blue and green. The problem of doubly colored boxes represents a problem solved by at least three boys and three girls.

You decide to play roulette 200 times each time betting the same amount on red. you will loe money if you win on fewer than 100
Arturiano [62]
First off, your chances of red are not really 50-50. You are overlooking the 0 slot or the 00 slot which are green. So, chances of red are 18 in 37 (0 slot) or 38 (0 and 00 slots). With a betting machine, the odds does not change no trouble what has occurred before. Think through the simplest circumstance, a coin toss. If I toss heads 10 times one after the other, the chances of tails about to happen on the next toss are still on a 50-50. A betting machine has no ability, no plan, and no past. 
Chances (0 slot) that you success on red are 18 out of 37 (18 red slots), but likelihoods of losing are 19 out of 37 (18 black plus 0). For the wheel with both a 0 and 0-0 slot, the odds are poorer. You chances of red are 18 out of 38 (18 red slots win), and down are 20 out of 38 (18 black plus 0 and 00). It does not really matter on how long you play there, the probabilities would always continue the same on every spin. The lengthier you play, the more thoroughly you will tie the chances with a total net loss of that portion of a percent in accord of the house. 18 winning red slots and either 19 or 20 losing slots.

Which phrase is the best description of the association between variables X and Y?
Elodia [21]
The variables have a negative association/correlation, because when one value increases (ex: x) the other decreases (see y)
If you would put a line through the dataset most of the points would be quite a bit off the line so the association is only moderate and not strong

so the answer is it is a "moderate negative association"

Please help with this math problem! The intersection of GK and HL is point P. Which triangle must be an isosceles triangle? *loo
Whitepunk [10]

None of the triangles listed has two equal base angles or two equal side lengths, therefore: D. No triangle is isosceles.

<h3>Properties of an Isosceles Triangle</h3>
  • An isosceles triangle has two base angles having equal angle measure.
  • The side lengths that are opposite each of the equal base angles are also congruent to each other.

Thus, none of the triangles listed has two equal base angles or two equal side lengths, therefore: D. No triangle is isosceles.

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) x = -1 and  y = 5, b) x = 2 and y = -1, c) x = -2 and y = 1, d) x = 2 and y = -9, e) x = 2 and y = -2, f) x = 2 and y = -1, g) x = 2 and y = -1, h) x = 1 and y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each system is solved as follows (Cada sistema es resuelto como sigue):

a) 2\cdot x + y = 3 and 3\cdot x - y = -8

y = 3 - 2\cdot x

3\cdot x - 3 + 2\cdot x = -8

5\cdot x = -5

x = -1

y = 5

b) x - 2\cdot y = 4 and -x+3\cdot y = -5

x = 4 + 2\cdot y

-4-2\cdot y+3\cdot y = - 5

-4+y = -5

y = -1

x = 2

c) -2\cdot x + 5\cdot y = 9 and x - y = -3

x = y-3

-2\cdot y +6 +5\cdot y = 9

3\cdot y = 3

y = 1

x = -2

d) 5\cdot x - 4\cdot y = 2 and 3\cdot x + 2\cdot y = -12

3\cdot x + 2\cdot y = -12

6\cdot x + 4\cdot y = -24

4\cdot y = -6\cdot x -24

5\cdot x +6\cdot x +24 = 2

11\cdot x = -22

x = 2

y = -9

e) x + y = 0 and 2\cdot x +3\cdot y = -2

y = -x

2\cdot x -3\cdot x = -2

-x = -2

x = 2

y = -2

f) 3\cdot x + 5\cdot y = 1 and x + y = 1

y = 1 - x

3\cdot x + 5 - 5\cdot x = 1

-2\cdot x = -4

x = 2

y = -1

g) 5\cdot x - 2\cdot y = 12 and 4\cdot x + 3\cdot y = 5

x = \frac{12+2\cdot y}{5}

x = \frac{5-3\cdot y}{4}

\frac{12+2\cdot y}{5} = \frac{5-3\cdot y}{4}

4\cdot (12+2\cdot y) = 5\cdot (5-3\cdot y)

48 + 8\cdot y = 25 - 15\cdot y

23\cdot y = -23

y = -1

x = 2

h) 7\cdot x + 8\cdot y = 23 and 3\cdot x + 2\cdot y = 7

3\cdot x + 2\cdot y = 7

12\cdot x + 8\cdot y = 28

8\cdot y = 28 - 12\cdot x

7\cdot x +28-12\cdot x = 23

-5\cdot x = -5

x = 1

y = 2
