Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is the midpoint, AB and BC are congruent in length.

5x-6 = 2x

5x = 2x + 6

5x - 2x = 6

3x = 6

x = 2

The graph represents a function but the table does not. The reason for this is that one input value (70) in the table is associated with two output values (54.6 and 53.11), which is a sure sign that we do NOT have a function here.

In a cricket match, a batsman hits a boundary 6 times out of 30 balls he plays.Find the probability that he did not hit a bounda

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The probability of NOT hitting a boundary is (4/5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E: Be the event of hitting a boundary

now, Probability of any event E = $\frac{\textrm{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\textrm{Total number of outcomes}}$

Here, number of favorable outcomes = 6

So, P(E) = $\frac{6}{30} = \frac{1}{5}$

⇒Probability of hitting a six is 1/5

Now, P(E) + P(not E) = 1

So, P(not hitting a boundary ) = 1 - P(hitting a boundary)

= 1 - (1/5) = 4/5

Hence, the probability of NOT hitting a boundary is (4/5).
