Answer:

x + y = 20

x - y = 4

Add the 2 equations and get

2x = 24

x = 24/2 = 12

Plug x=12 into either equation and get

y = 8

A bucket contains 40 red balls, 25 black balls, and 35 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{1}{5}$ or $Probability = 0.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Black = 25$

$White = 35$

$Red = 40$

Required

Determine the probability of selecting Black and Red

First, we need to calculate the number of red and black balls

The probability is calculated as thus:

$Probability = P(Black\ and \ Red) \ or\ P(Red\ and \ Black)$

Convert to mathematical expressions

$Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]$

Solve for each probaility;

$P(Black) = \frac{Black}{Total} = \frac{25}{100}$

$P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total} = \frac{40}{100}$

So, we have:

$Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]$ $Probability = [\frac{25}{100} *\frac{40}{100}] + [\frac{40}{100} *\frac{25}{100}]$

$Probability = [\frac{1000}{10000}] + [\frac{1000}{10000}]$

$Probability = [\frac{1}{10}] + [\frac{1}{10}]$

$Probability = \frac{1+1}{10}$

$Probability = \frac{2}{10}$

$Probability = \frac{1}{5}$

$Probability = 0.2$

What is the slope of y=3x and what's the Y-intercept of y=3x

kompoz [17]

The slope is 3 or 3/1 and the Y intercept is 0 or (0,0) because in y=mx+b, is it the slope (3) and b is the y intercept (0)

Karolina [17]

Answer:

fx(x)=[(4! /(x!)*(4-x)!]*[(0.3) ^x]*[(0.7) ^ (4-x)]

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) is been calculated by considering X (moderate) as one outcome and low and high combined as one outcome now probability function will be same as binomial distribution

F(x) = [(4! /(x!)*(4-x)!]*[(0.3) ^x]*[(0.7) ^ (4-x)]

Two numbers are in the ratio 7:5 and their difference is 22.Find the numbers

omeli [17]

Answer:

Let x and y be the two numbers. Then

yx=57 and x−y=20

Cross multiplying the proportion

5x=7y or y=75x

So, x−y=20

x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20

⇒x=2140=70

y=75x=75×70=50

So smaller number is 50.

Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20
