Answer:
The probability that a book picked at random is either a work written by an author who writes only nonfiction or a work written by a man is 75.8%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability, in this case, has to be calculated using the sum rule because the events are independent.
P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) - P(men non-fiction); where P is the probability. It means the probability that the random book was written by a man plus the probability that the random book was non-fiction minus the probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction. The probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction has to be subtracted, if not you will be duplicating it.
Facts:
P(men) = 60% = 99/165
P(non-fiction) = 40% = 66/165
P(men non-fiction) = 40/165
P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) – P(men non-fiction)
P = 99/165 + 66/165 – 40/165
P = 125/165
P = 0.758 or 75.8%
The equation is 5c+25b=260 when c+b=12. rearrange that into 12-b=c. substitute and you get 5(12-b)+25b=260. b=10. 12-10=2, so 10 buses and 2 cars were used as transportation for the field trip.
Answer:Meyer uses 2.5 loads
Step-by-step explanation:Why does he use 2.5? Because, he has 8 loads and with 1 load he covers 2/5 of his driveway so 2 loads covers 4/5 and 2.5 loads cover 5/5 of his driveway
Answer:
8 oz.
Step-by-step explanation:
I say this because, initial value means the value at the start. The candle starts at 8 oz. therefore it is the initial value. The reason it is the weight and not the time is because the weight is the dependent variable.
We have that
5x - 2y = 10
we know that
Part A)
the x-intercept is when y=0
then
5x - 2y = 10------> 5x=10--------> x=10/5------> x=2
the answer Part A) isthe x intercept is the point (2,0)Part B)
the y-intercept is when x=0
then
5x - 2y = 10------> -2y=10------> y=-10/2-----> y=-5
the answer Part B) isthe y intercept is the point (0,-5)see the attached figure
