Let the number of Blue casset be b and that of green be g.
Thus the total number of cassets will be:
b+g=16
hence
g=16-b.......i
The total amount was:
45b+55g=830..ii
plugging i in ii we get:
45b+55(16-b)=830
45b+880-55b=830
simplifying
45b-55b=830-880
-10b=-50
thus
b=5
hence
g=16-5=11
number of blue cassets was 5 and that of green was 11
Given:
The price of bananas can be determined by the equation P=0.25n, where P is the price and n is the number of bananas.
To find:
The constant of proportionality
Solution:
We have,
...(i)
where P is the price and n is the number of bananas.
Price P is directly proportional to the number of bananas. So,
...(ii)
Where, k is the constant of proportionality.
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 0.25.

Answer:
mutually exclusive
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of interest is ...
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
Filling in the given values, we have ...
9/10 = 2/5 + 1/2 - P(A and B)
Solving for P(A and B), we get ...
P(A and B) = 2/5 +1/2 -9/10 = 4/10 +5/10 -9/10
P(A and B) = 0
__
Events are mutually exclusive when <em>they can never happen at the same time</em>. That is, P(A and B) = 0.
The events A and B are mutually exclusive.
