You can use this formula <span>P(AorB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AandB)
Given:
35 LG (14 F & 21 M)
44 SB (28 F & 16 M)
Req:
- the probability that it is a female (F) or a sky blue (SB)
Sol:
</span>P(F or SB) = P(F) + P(SB) - P(F and SB)
= [(14 F + 28 F)/(35 + 44)] + [(44 SB)/(35 + 44)] - [(28 F)/(35 + 44)]
= 53.16 + 55.70 - 35.44
= 73.42%
You have to deduct 28 female parakeets from 44 sky blue parakeets because the 28 parakeets are already accounted for in the female parakeets. You can also think of how many ways you can choose a female parakeet and a sky blue parakeet. Add all female parakeets (14 + 28) = 42. Sky blue parakeet equaled to 44. Minus the 28 female parakeets included in the sky blue parakeet to avoid double counting. 42 + 44 - 28 = 58 divided by 79 (35 + 44) total parakeets = 73.42%
I don't see any answer choices, but because it already gives you x and y, all you have to do is plug them into the equation.
-(5)-(6)+z=0
combine like terms
-11 + z = 0
add 11 to both sides
z = 11 is your answer
Answer:
8 pens
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2><u>Finding the number of pens bought </u></h2>
pencil costs 0.27
pen costs 0.32
6 * pencils + x pens = 4.18
6 * 0.27 + x * 0.32 = 4.18
1.62 + 0.32x = 4.18
0.32x = 4.18 - 1.62
0.32x = 2.56
x = 2.56/0.32
x = 8
<u>hence 8 pens were bought </u>
The area of a parallelogram is equal to the base times the height.
In terms of algebra
A = b*h
We know the base is b = 8.2,the area is A = 65.6, though we don't know the height h. We can use algebra to solve
A = b*h
65.6 = 8.2*h
8.2*h = 65.6
8.2*h/8.2 = 65.6/8.2 <--- divide both sides by 8.2
h = 8
The height of the parallelogram is 8 inches
