ellow marbles; box B has 15 purple marbles and 35 yellow marbles. If Melanie randomly selects one of the boxes and then randomly selects one marble from that box, what is the probability that the marble selected will be purple?

Answer: Our required probability would be 0.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes = 2

Number of purple marbles in Box A = 30

Number of yellow marbles in Box A = 20

Number of purple marbles in Box B = 15

Number of yellow marbles in Box B = 35

So,  If Melanie randomly selects one of the boxes and then randomly selects one marble from that box.

Probability that the marble selected will be purple is given by

\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{50}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{15}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{20+15}{50})\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{35}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{35}{100}\\\\=0.35

Hence, our required probability would be 0.35.

An item sells for $30 and is on sale for 15% off and the sales tax is 8.2%. What is the final cost to the nearest cent?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

$27.59

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First we calculate the sales tax:

30 x .15 = 4.5

30 - 4.5 = 25.5

2) Now we calculate sales tax

25.5 x .082 = 2.09

25.5 + 2.09 = $27.59

Which is equivalent to sin^-1(tan(pi/4)) ? Give your answer in radians.
aleksklad [387]
We are to find the value of sin^{-1}(tan( \frac{ \pi }{4}))

First we evaluate tan(π/4). The value of tan(π/4) is 1. 

So, 

sin^{-1}(tan( \frac{ \pi }{4})) =sin^{-1} (1)

sin(π/2) = 1
So,
sin^{-1}(1)= \frac{ \pi }{2}

Thus, we can write:

sin^{-1}(tan( \frac{ \pi }{4}))= \frac{ \pi }{2} radians.

So, the answer to this question is π/2 radians.

I need help, I need an explanation for the answer
hammer [34]

Answer:

3) The function's leading coefficient is negative.

Explanation:

(1) Is not the answer because when x = 3, f(x) = 0.

(2) Is not the answer because when f(x) = -3,

x = 0.

(4) Is also not the answer because the y-values on both sides of (1, -4) are mirroring each other.

Therefore,

(3) is the answer, by elimination, but also because there is not proof of the leading coefficient being negative, as we don't see the original equation.

I hope this helped! :)
