At a peace summit, seven Hatfield and nine McCoy family

Mathematics
1 answer:
katrin2010 [14]3 years ago

Answer:

0.525 = 52.5% probability that the two are from different families.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, the order in which the two participants are selected is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

1 from the Harfield family(from a set of 7).

1 from the McCoy family(from a set of 9). So

D = C_{7,1}*C_{9,1} = \frac{7!}{1!6!}*\frac{9!}{1!8!} = 7*9 = 63

Total outcomes:

2 from a set of 16. So

T = C_{16,2} = \frac{16!}{2!14!} = 120

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{63}{120} = 0.525

0.525 = 52.5% probability that the two are from different families.

A recipe calls for 3 cups of milk to make 30 biscuits. How many cups of milk will you need to make 45 biscuits?
anastassius [24]

The answer is: 4.5 cups.

The explanation is shown below:

1. You  need 3 cups of milk to make 30 biscuits.

2. Therefore, to solve the exercise you only need to multiply 45 biscuits by 3 cups and divide this by 30 biscuits.

3. Let's call the cups you will need to make 45 biscuits x. Then, you have:

x=\frac{(45)(3)}{30}\\x=4.5

4. Therefore, you will need 4.5 cups  to make 45 biscuits.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

A) H+4

Step-by-step explanation:

I do this in a different way, but i'll do it in both

Mine:

30 ÷ 2 = 15

4 ÷ 2 = 2

15+2, 15 -2

17, 13

Kristen Has 17

Yours:

h+(h+4)=30

     -4   -4

h+h = 26

2h = 26,

h = 13, Back to the equation, use 13 as a sub. for all the h's

13+(13+4) = 30

13 + 17 = 30

Hope this helps!
