Jerome is going to draw a marble from the bag shown below, replace it, and then draw another marble. What is the probability tha

alexira [117]

Marbles in a bag: 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 8 pink.

Event A - get a green or yellow marble
Event B - get a pink marble

Events A and B are independent because we draw a marble from a bag with 20 marbles in both cases.
$P(A)= \frac{3+4}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{7}{20} 
\\P(B)= \frac{8}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$

Probability of combined events is
$P(A) \times P(B)=\frac{7}{20} \times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{7}{50}$

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each

ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that $x + y = 2763$

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that $x = y + 277$

Replacing in the first equation

$x + y = 2763$

$y + 277 + y = 2763$

$2y = 2486$

$y = \frac{2486}{2}$

$y = 1243$

$x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520$

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Tamara invests $8000 in two different accounts. The first account has a simple interest rate of 3% and the second account has a

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

$3200 at 3%
$4800 at 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest earned is proportional to the interest rate, so if the interest earned is the same, the amounts invested must be inversely proportional to the interest rates. That is, for the 3% and 2% accounts, the ratio of money invested is 2:3.

In other words, 2/5 of the money ($3200) was invested at 3%, and 3/5 of the money ($4800) was invested at 2%.

_____

If you need an equation, you can let x represent the amount invested at the highest rate. Then 8000-x is the amount invested at the lower rate. For the interest in the two accounts to be equal, we have ...

3%·x = 2%·(8000-x) . . . . . the amounts of interest earned are the same

3/2·x = 8000 -x . . . . . . . . divide by 2%

5/2·x = 8000 . . . . . . . . . . . add x and simplify

x = 8000·(2/5) = 3200 . . . multiply by the inverse of the x coefficient

8000-x = 8000 -3200 = 4800 . . . . the amount invested at the lower rate

Tamara invested $3200 in the 3% account and $4800 in the 2% account.

_____

She earned $96 in each account for the year.
