The probabilities:
-Two break points are selected randomly (and distributed uniformly) on the stick.
The stick is first broken into two pieces. The longest (or rather, not the shortest) is then broken into two.
-The stick is first broken into two pieces. A piece randomly selected with probability 1/2 is then broken into two.
-The stick is first broken into two pieces. A piece randomly selected with the probability proportional to its length is then broken into two.
Ya I believe that is the answer. I got the exact same thing.
Answer:8:100
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the 8% is out of 100
Answer:
x = -6/5
y = -8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + y = -4
Y = 3x + 2
Substitute the second equation into the first equation
2x + 3x+2 = -4
Combine like terms
5x +2 = -4
Subtract 2 from each side
5x+2-2=-4-2
5x = -6
Divide by 5
5x/5 = -6/5
x = -6/5
Now we need to find y
y = 3x+2
y = 3(-6/5)+2
y = -18/5 + 10/5
y = -8/5
So, You cross multiply and get 56x=244(100). Simplify and you get 56x=24400. Divide each side by 56 and you get 435.71. 56% of about 435.71 is 244.
