Answer:

The probability that either Alex or Bryan get an A is 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Before we proceed to answer, we shall be making some important notation;

Let A = event of Alex getting an A

Let B = event of Bryan getting an A

From the question, P(A) = 0.9, P(B) = 0.8 and P(A ∩ B^{c} ) = 0.1

We are to calculate the probability that either Alex or Bryan get an A which can be represented as P(A ∪ B)

We can use the addition theorem here;

P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)  .......................(i)

Also,

P(A) = P(A ∩ B^{c} )  +   P(A ∩ B)   .........................(ii)

We can insert ii into i and we have;

P(A ∪ B) =  P(A ∩ B^{c} )  +   P(A ∩ B)  + P(B) - P(A ∩ B) =   P(A ∩ B^{c} ) + P(B) = 0.1 + 0.8 = 0.9

What is the value for y?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> y=
Elodia [21]

Answer:

y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AC = BC then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is

∠A = ∠B = 50°, thus

∠C = 180 - (50 + 50) ← sum of angles in Δ = 180°

     = 180 - 100 = 80°, hence

5y + 10 = 80 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

5y = 70 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 14

Amira and Mandisa sell balloon animals at different stands on the boardwalk. They each use a constant number of balloons per ani
MAXImum [283]

Mandisa uses 5 balloons for each animal, this means that Mandisa uses more.

<h3>Linear equation</h3>

Linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the number of balloons for x animals.

Amira uses 4 balloons for each animal.

For Mandisa, using the table using (20, 225) and (60, 25):

slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{25-225}{60-20}=-5

Therefore Mandisa uses 5 balloons for each animal, this means that Mandisa uses more.
