Answer:
a. p(orange) = 5/14
b. p(green) = 3/14
c. p(red) = 1/7
d. p(brown) = 2/7
e. p(brown or red) = 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You have a 14 pencils. Two pencils are red, 5 pencils are orange, 3 pencils are green and 4 pencils are brown.
p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/(total number of pencils)
p(color) = (number of pencils of that color)/14
a. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be orange?
p(orange) = 5/14
b. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be green?
p(green) = 3/14
c. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil will be red?
p(red) = 2/14 = 1/7
d. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be brown?
p(brown) = 4/14 = 2/7
e. If a pencil is picked at random, what is the probability that the pencil
will be brown or red?
brown: 4
red: 2
brown or red: 4 + 2
p(brown or red) = 6/14 = 3/7
2(11+13) = 26+2w because 2(11)=22 2(13)=26
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
speed of motorcycle = 40 mph
speed of car = 50 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the complete question
A car and a motorcycle leave at noon from the same location, heading in the same direction. The average speed of the car is 30 mph slower than twice the speed of the motorcycle. In two hours, the car is 20 miles ahead of the motorcycle. Find the speed of both the car and the motorcycle, in miles per hour.
Speed = distance / time
This question would be solved using simultaneous equation
let m = average speed of the motorcycle
c = average speed of the car
c = 2m - 30 equation 1
20 =(c - m) x 2 equation 2
insert equation 1 into equation 2 and divide through by 2
10 = (2m - 30) - m
solve for m
m = 40 mph
substitute for m in equation 1
2(40) - 20 = 50 mph
