Answer:
8.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to calculate the probability of Howard choosing a chocolate candy followed by a gummy candy.
The probability of selecting a chocolate candy = number if chocolate candy/ total number of candy
Total number of candy = 5 + 4 + 6 = 15
Number of chocolate candy = 5
The probability of selecting a chocolate candy = 5/15 = 1/3
The probability of selecting a gummy candy = number of gummy candies/total number of candies
Number of gummy candy = 4
The probability of selecting a gummy candy = 4/15
The probability of selecting a chocolate candy before a gummy candy = 1/3 * 4/15 = 4/45 = 0.088888888889
Which is same as 8.89 percent which is 8.9% to the nearest tenth of a percent
Answer:
I would pick no, because when u do the math
The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
