Answer: 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that annie picks a duck Pt= the probability of picking a duck without accounting for the added one (Po)+ probability of picking the added bird and it's a duck(Pi)

Pt = Po+Pi

Since the total number of birds in the right pond is 10 after the addition of one by john

Po= 4/10

Pi= the of john adding a duck × the probability of annie picking the added bird

Pi= 4/9 × 1/10

Pi = 4/90

Pt= 4/10 + 4/90

Pt = (36+4)/90

Pt=40/90

Pt= 4/9

(This implies that the probability of picking a duck remain the same even after the addition of one bird from the left ponds because they both have equal proportions of duck and geese i.e the initial number of duck and geese in both right and left ponds are 4 and 5 respectively)

Thanks.

Answer:

Standard form means that you write the terms by descending degree.

x^4y^2 + 4x^3y + 10x^2

The degree of the first term x^4y^2 is 4+2=6

The degree of the second term 4x^3y is 3+1=4

The degree of the third term 10x^2 is 2

The terms are written by descending degree. Therefore, polynomial x^4y^2 + 4x^3y + 10x^2 is written in standard form.

You deposit $2200 Into three separate bank accounts for each pay 3% annual interest. How much interest does each account earn af
Hatshy [7]

The formula to find the amount is

A=P(1+r)^n

Here A = amount

P is the principal

r is the rate

n is the number of years

Then to find the interest we subtract principal from amount.

Interest = A - P

Here

P= 2200, r = 3% = 0.03 , n = 6 years

A = 2200 (1+0.03)^6=2626.92

Hence the interest earned = 2626.92-2200 = $426.92

Now if the total of $2200 was deposited in three banks then each account earns \frac{426.92}{3}= 142.31

Each account earns $142.31
