Answer:

The probability that all 3 balls are red is 18.65%, while the probability that all 3 balls are blue is 7.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a bag contains 8 red balls and 6 blue balls, and Radhika takes three balls at random from the bag, without replacement, to calculate the probability that the three balls are the same color, the following mathematical operations must be performed:

8 + 6 = 14

14 = 100

8 = X

8 x 100/14 = X

800/14 = X

57.14 = X

100 - 57.14 = 42.86

0.5714 ^ 3 = X

0.1865 = X

0.4286 ^ 3 = X

0.0787 = X

Therefore, the probability that all 3 balls are red is 18.65%, while the probability that all 3 balls are blue is 7.87%.

The state of New Jersey makes approximately $1.55 billion annually from tolls of the $1.55 billion about 3/4 comes from tolls on

Rama09 [41]

Percent of turn pike is 75% and percent of parkway is 25%.

Solution:

Given, The state of New Jersey makes approximately $1.55 billion annually from tolls of the $1.55 billion

About $\frac{3}{4}$ comes from tolls on the turnpike

Remaining $\frac{1}{4}$ comes from tolls on the parkway

To find the percent of the total revenue from turnpike:

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Percent of turnpike }=\frac{\text { amount from parkway }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{3}{4} \text { of total revenue }}{\text { tot al revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{3}{4} \times \text { total revenue }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{3}{4} \times 100=3 \times 25=75 \%}\end{array}$

To find the percent of the total revenue from parkway:

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Percent of parkway }=\frac{\text { amount from parkway }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{1}{4} \text { of total revenue }}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{\frac{1}{4} \times \text { total revenue}}{\text { total revenue }} \times 100} \\\\ {=\frac{1}{4} \times 100=25 \%}\end{array}$

Summarizing the results:

Percent of turn pike is 75%

Percent of parkway is 25%

Write the equation of the circle centered at (3, 5) and tangent to x = -1. I need help pleasse

Annette [7]

Answer:

(x - 3)² + (y - 5)² = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the centre and r the radius

given (h, k ) = (3, 5 ) we require to find r

r is the distance from the centre to a point on the circle

given x = - 1 is a tangent the r is the distance between the x- coordinates

r = | 3 - (- 1) | = | 3 + 1 | = | 4 | = 4

then equation of circle is

(x - 3)² + (y - 5)² = 4² , that is

(x - 3)² + (y - 5)² = 16

What is the area of this whole figure in square units?

IrinaK [193]

Well, it is a good and interesting question

Such areas could be calculated in a single shoot and also by dividing the whole shape into other shapes and the total area would be the sum of these areas

I prefer the way of a single shoot ...

The figure represents a trapezoid:
its lower base = 21 units
its upper base = 12 units
the normal height between them = 8 units

NOW

The area of a trapezoid = [(sum of bases' lengths) ÷ 2] * height
= [(12 + 21) ÷ 2] * 8 = 132 sq units

Hope that helps

Given that 5 x − 3 y = 32 Find y when x = 4

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Solution,

X=4

Now,

 $5x - 3y = 32 \\ or \: 5 \times x - 3y = 32 \\ or \: 5 \times 4 - 3y = 32 \\ or \: 20 - 3y = 32 \\ or \: - 3y = 32 - 20 \\ or \: - 3y = 12 \\ or \: y = - \frac{12}{ 3} \\ y = - 4$ 

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
