8 0

Let the numbers be x and y

x + y = 100
-
x - y = 26
________
0x + 2y = 74

2y = 74

y = 74/2 = 37

y is actually the less number = 37. The second equation tells y is lesser.

37 because 63+37=100 and 63-37=26

Suppose you have 3 bags. Two of them contain a single $10 bill, and the third contains a single $5 bill. Suppose you pick one of

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bags = 3

number of bags with $10 bill initially = 2

number of bags with $5 bill initially = 1

assume :

event you pick a $5 bill at first draw = A

event you pick a $5 bill at second draw = B

hence : P ( A n B ) = 1/3 * 1 = 1/3

P( A ) = ( 1/3 * 1 ) + ( 1/3 * 1/2 + 1/3 * 1/2 ) = 2/3

therefore P( that the second drawn bill is $5 )

P( B | A ) = P(A n B ) / P ( A )

= (1/3) / (2/3) = 1/2

Median of 28, 30, 34, 35

Arturiano [62]

You first put them all in order from least to greatest. Now, since 30 and 34 seem to be in the middle, write the number in between them: 30, 31, 32, 33, 34.

And you get your answer as 32. Hope this helped ;)
