Answer:

8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome. The probability that an event will happen added to the probability that the event will not happen gives 1. In other words, the outcome of a probability cannot exceed 1.

The probability that an event a will happen or that another independent event b will happen is the sum of the probability that a will happen to the probability that b will happen.

Given that there are 25 red clips, 15 blue clips, 15 green clips and 20 pink clips,

total number of clips available

= 25 + 15 + 15 + 20

= 75

probability of picking a

red paper clip = 25/75

blue paper clip = 15/75

Probability of selecting red or blue paper clip

= 25/75 + 15/75

= 40/75

= 8/15

yarga [219]

Answer:

x^3-1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=g(x)-1 since was shifted down 1 unit x^3-1

f(x)=g(x)+1 would have been a shift up of 1 unit x^3+1

f(x)=g(x-1) shifted right 1 unit (x-1)^3

f(x)=g(x+1) shifted left one unit (x+1)^3

Anyways the answer is f(x)=x^3-1

How do you compare y-intercepts and rates of change

Sphinxa [80]

Not really sure what you mean by compare. The only thing I can think of is the y intercept is generally a good point to start from to count the rise/run

Beaker A contains 1 liter which is 30 percent oil and the rest is vinegar, thoroughly mixed up. Beaker B contains 2 liters which

alekssr [168]

Answer:

1.25 liters of oil

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume in Beaker A = 1 L

Volume of Oil in Beaker A = 1*0.3 = 0.3 L

Volume of Vinegar in Beaker A = 1*0.7 = 0.7 L

Volume in Beaker B = 2 L

Volume of Oil in Beaker B = 2*0.4 = 0.8 L

Volume of Vinegar in Beaker B = 1*0.6 = 1.2 L

If half of the contents of B are poured into A and assuming a homogeneous mixture, the new volumes of oil (Voa) and vinegar (Vva) in beaker A are:

$V_{oa} = 0.3+\frac{0.8}{2} \\V_{oa} = 0.7 \\V_{va} = 0.7+\frac{1.2}{2} \\V_{va} = 1.3$

The amount of oil needed to be added to beaker A in order to produce a mixture which is 60 percent oil (Vomix) is given by:

$0.6*V_{total} = V_{oa} +V_{omix}\\0.6*(V_{va}+V_{oa} +V_{omix}) = V_{oa} +V_{omix}\\0.6*(1.3+0.7+V_{omix})=0.7+V_{omix}\\V_{omix}=\frac{0.5}{0.4} \\V_{omix}=1.25 \ L$

1.25 liters of oil are needed.
