Answer:

B and F

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple golden rule that we need to know here is

<em><u>"The probability of any event is always between 0 and 1 inclusive"</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

If an event has a probability of p(x), we can say:

0 \leq p(x) \leq 1

Also, probability is ALWAYS POSITIVE.

Thus,

A) OK because 33.3% is 0.333, which is between 0 and 1

B) NOT OK, because probability isn't negative

C) 0.0002 is in between 0 and 1, so possible

D) 0 probability means it can't happen, so that's okay as well

E) this is a fraction with numerator less than denominator, which means its between 0 and 1, so OK

F) this fraction's numerator is greater than denominator, so it's greater than 1. Probability can't be greater than 1, so NOT OK

Out of these B and F cannot represent the probability of an event

Give that m/_ y=39, find the measures of angles a and b
Amanda [17]

Answer:

  ∠a = 39°

  ∠b = 129°

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles are congruent. An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles.

<h3>Application</h3>

Angle y and angle 'a' are vertical angles, so congruent.

  ∠a = ∠y = 39°

The angle marked 'b' is an exterior angle to the triangle. Its remote interior angles are 'a' and the one marked 90°.

  ∠b = ∠a +90° = 39° +90°

  ∠b = 129°

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

720 multiple by 25 gives you 18,000 then you find 25% of 18,000 by multiplying 18,000 times 25/100 which gives you 4,500. Or you can find 25%of 25 then multiple the answer by 720

Find the equation of lines
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

y = x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + c  where m = the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept.

So here m = 4/4 = 1 and c = 6, so it's:

y = 1x + 6.
