Each of those bones pictures are equal to 2 bones. The question is asking, how many more rib bones than skull and jaw bones combined, so you’re gonna have to do some addition and subtraction.

You take the number of skull bones, which is 1(2), and add that to the number of jaw bones, which is 0. Giving you a total of 2 bones.

Then you are taking the rib bones 3(2) and finding out that you have 6.

So with that information, you can find out that there are 4 more rib more than skull and jaw bones combines (6-2=4)

If P(not yellow) = StartFraction 4 over 15 EndFraction, which best describes the probability of the complement of the event?

Answer:

The P(yellow) = 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have;

P(not yellow) = 4/15

Mathematically, the addition of the probability of an event and its complement adds up to be 1

The complement we have here is P(yellow)

Thus, mathematically we have;

P(not yellow) + P(yellow) = 1

P(yellow) = 1 - P(not yellow)

From the question P(not yellow) = 4/15

Plugging this value, we have;

P(yellow) = 1 - 4/15 = 11/15

A set of weights includes a 10 lb barbell and 8 pairs of weight plates. Each pairof plates weighs 20lbs. If x pairs of plates ar

Leni [432]

It is given that the weight of the barbel is given by:

$f(x)=20x+10$

It says that there are eight pair of weights so x can take values from 0 to 8 and f(x) can take the values as follows:

$\begin{gathered} x=0,f(x)=10 \\ x=1,f(x)=30 \\ x=2,f(x)=50 \\ x=3,f(x)=70 \\ x=4,f(x)=90 \\ x=5,f(x)=110 \\ x=6,f(x)=130 \\ x=7,f(x)=150 \\ x=8,f(x)=170 \end{gathered}$

So the range is:
