Answer:
See below in bold,.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 30-17 = 13 boys in the class.
a. Prob(First is a boy ) = 13/30 and Prob( second is a boy = 12/29).
As these 2 events are independent:
Prob( 2 boys being picked) = 13/30 * 12/29 = 26/145 or 0.179 to the nearest thousandth.
b. By a similar method to a:
Prob ( 2 girls being picked) = 17/30 * 16/29 = 136/435 = 0.313 to the nearest thousandth.
c. Prob (First student is a boy and second is a girl) = 13/30 * 17/29 = 221/870.
Prob ( first student is a girl and second is a boy) = 17/30 * 13/29 = 221/870
These 2 events are not independent so they are added:
Prob( one of the students is a boy) = 2 (221/870 = 221/435 = 0.508 to the nearest thousandth.
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
14/3 = 4.7 which seems about right for the Y-intercept & the gradient is - 1/3.
Gradient = rise /run
= 1/3
Hope this helps!
Answer:
C) 7
===========================================
Work Shown:
Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)
-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying
-5r+20 = 6-3r
-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides
20 = 6+2r
20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides
14 = 2r
2r = 14
2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2
r = 7
The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (2-7)/(7-4)
m = -5/3
The answer is confirmed
Yes you did, congratulations ;-)
