Answer:

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 5

White = 6

Black = 9

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

Total = 5 + 6 + 9

Total = 20

This is calculated as:

P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)

So, we have:

P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1}  + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}

P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380}  + \frac{72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Is anyone good with triangle inequalities? I provided a picture for the problem.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1 < x < 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Inequality Theorem

Let y and z be two of the side lengths of a triangle. The length of the third side x cannot be any number. It must satisfy all the following restrictions:

x + y > z

x + z > y

y + z > x

Combining the above inequalities, and provided y>z, the third size must satisfy:

y - z < x < y + z

We are given the measures y=10, z=9. The third side must satisfy:

10 - 9 < x < 10 + 9

1 < x < 19

Find the distance of a line given the following points. R(3, 1), W(-1, -2)
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

±√(- 2 - 1)^2 + (- 1 - 3)^2 = ±5 (rej - 5 since distance > 0)

Apply distance formula

This is a topic on coordinate geometry. If you would like to find out more you can give my Instagram page a follow as I'll be updating on this topic soon. In addition, I will be posting other useful materials created by myself at the same platform too!

(100 points) Give a step by step explanation on how you solved this problem
Lina20 [59]
Use substitution
Given both y values, you know that they have to be equal

3x + 3 = x - 1
2x + 3 = -1
2x = -4, divide by 2
x = -2
Now plug x value into any of the equation to find y value
y = 3(-2) + 3
y = -6 + 3, y = -3

Solution: x = -2, y = -3
