Answer:

The equation is 2x = 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that what is asked is 2/5 of the price for which each of the items are bought

y is the asking price, x is the original

Mathematically,

that would be;

y = 2/5 * x

y = 2x/5

Thus;

2x = 5y

A factory received a shipment of 11 hammers, and the vendor who sold the items knows there are 2 hammers in the shipment that ar
zhenek [66]

Question:

If a sample of 2 hammer is selected

(a) find the probability that all in the sample are defective.

(b) find the probability that none in the sample are defective.

Answer:

a Pr = \frac{2}{110}

b Pr = \frac{72}{110}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 11 --- hammers

r = 2 --- selection

This will be treated as selection without replacement. So, 1 will be subtracted from subsequent probabilities

Solving (a): Probability that both selection are defective.

For two selections, the probability that all are defective is:

Pr = P(D) * P(D)

Pr = \frac{2}{11} * \frac{2-1}{11-1}

Pr = \frac{2}{11} * \frac{1}{10}

Pr = \frac{2}{110}

Solving (b): Probability that none are defective.

The probability that a selection is not defective is:

P(D') = \frac{9}{11}

For two selections, the probability that all are not defective is:

Pr = P(D') * P(D')

Pr = \frac{9}{11} * \frac{9-1}{11-1}

Pr = \frac{9}{11} * \frac{8}{10}

Pr = \frac{72}{110}

Answer:

Slope = \frac{-1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁ , y₁) = (-9 , -4)   & (x₂ ,y₂) = (-3, -6)

Slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

         = \frac{-6-[-4]}{-3-[-9]}\\\\= \frac{-6+4}{-3+9}\\\\= \frac{-2}{6}\\\\= \frac{-1}{3}
