Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
<h3>Given condition:</h3>x + y = 48 --------(1)
y = 7x -------------(2)
Put Eq. (2) in (1)
x + 7x = 48
8x = 48
Divide 8 to both sides
x = 48/8
<h3>x = 6</h3>Put x = 6 in Eq. (2)
y = 7 (6)
<h3>y = 42</h3>Answer:
(a) 0.6
(b) 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
If I am reading the little table right, You have made 9 shots, and have missed 6 of them. Therefore, in total, you have made shots.
The definition of probability is the number of events of a desired outcome divided by the total number of outcomes. Since you wish to make a shot for part a, the number of desired outcomes thus far is 9, out of 15 total shots. Thus,
making a shot
Since making a shot and not making a shot are mutually exclusive events, and the only two events that could occur when shooting a basket, the probability of not making a shot and the probability of making a shot are all of the possible outcomes, and is thus equal to 1.
