Answer:

No it cannot be concluded.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting the disease in the first attempt is 50%

The probability of getting the disease in the second attempt is 50%

Thus the probability of getting the disease in either of the turns is 50%+50%=100% (which may seem to be true)

BUT

The probability of not  getting the disease in the first attempt is 50%

The probability of not getting the disease in the second attempt is 50%

Thus the probability of not getting the disease in either of the turns is 50%+50%=100% (which is also true for this case)

Thus the probability of getting the disease in either of the 2 contacts is still 50%

Distribute (2m-5m)(-5)
Reika [66]

First Method (Distributive Property)

(2m - 5m) (-5)

Rearrange the equation to make it easier.

(-5) (2m - 5m)

In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).

-10m + 25m

15m

Second Method

(2m - 5m) (-5)

Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.

(-3m) (-5)

Multiply.

15m

15m is your answer. I hope this helps!
