Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number = y

Let the smaller number = x

y = 3x

y - x = 62

3x - x = 62

2x = 62

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

y = 3x

y = 3*31

y = 93

Help please !! Thank u

leonid [27]

Answer:

parallel = same slope (-2x)

so it's y=-2x + b

let's find b by plugging in 1 for x and 3 for y (the coordinates)

3 = -2*1 + b

3 = -2 + b

5 = b

there you have it:

y = -2x +5

brainliest would really be appropriated (possible when someone else also leaves an answer)

The table gives the relative frequencies of recipes that contains sugar and salt, contain at least one of those ingredients, or

tigry1 [53]

Answer-

The probability that a randomly selected recipe does not contain sugar, given that it contains salt is 22.4%

Solution-

The given table in the link shows the relative frequencies of recipes that contains sugar and salt, or contains at least one of those ingredients, or contains neither of those ingredients.

We have to find the conditional probability that the recipe doesn't contain sugar, given that it contains salt.

We know that, the conditional probability of occurrence of A given that B occurs is,

$P(A|B)=\frac{P(A\ and\ B)}{P(B)} =\frac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}$

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ |\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ and\ \text{Contains salt})}{P(\text{Contains salt})}$

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ and\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.15}{1} =0.15\\P(\text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.67}{1}=0.67$

Putting these values,

$P(\text{Doesn't contain sugar}\ |\ \text{Contains salt})=\frac{0.15}{0.67} =0.224=22.4\%$
