There are seven quarters in the bottom of a tote bag. Three of those quarters were minted in 2019, two were minted in 2001, and

two were minted in 2008. What is the probability of selecting two quarters that were both minted in years other than 2019 if the first was not replaced before the second was selected?

Answer:

P(Not\ 2019) = \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n(2019)= 3

n(2001)= 2\\

n(2008)= 2

n = 7 --- total

Required

P(Not\ 2019)

When two quarters not minted in 2019 are selected, the sample space is:

S = \{(2001,2001),(2001,2008),(2008,2001),(2008,2008)\}

So, the probability is:

P(Not\ 2019) = P(2001,2001)\ or\ P(2001,2008)\ or\ P(2008,2001)\ or\ P(2008,2008)

P(Not\ 2019) = P(2001,2001) +  P(2001,2008) +  P(2008,2001) +  P(2008,2008)

P(2001,2001) = P(2001) * P(2001)

Since it is a selection without replacement, we have:

P(2001,2001) = \frac{n(2001)}{n} * \frac{n(2001)-1}{n - 1}

P(2001,2001) = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{2-1}{7 - 1}

P(2001,2001) = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{1}{6}

P(2001,2001) = \frac{1}{7} * \frac{1}{3}

P(2001,2001) = \frac{1}{21}

P(2001,2008) = P(2001) * P(2008)

Since it is a selection without replacement, we have:

P(2001,2008) = \frac{n(2001)}{n} * \frac{n(2008)}{n - 1}

P(2001,2008) = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{2}{7 - 1}

P(2001,2008) = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{2}{6}

P(2001,2008) = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{1}{3}

P(2001,2008) = \frac{2}{21}

P(2008,2001) = P(2008) * P(2001)

Since it is a selection without replacement, we have:

P(2008,2001)  = \frac{n(2008)}{n} * \frac{n(2001)}{n - 1}

P(2008,2001)  = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{2}{7 - 1}

P(2008,2001)  = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{2}{6}

P(2008,2001)  = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{1}{3}

P(2008,2001)  = \frac{2}{21}

P(2008,2008) = P(2008) * P(2008)

Since it is a selection without replacement, we have:

P(2008,2008) = \frac{n(2008)}{n} * \frac{n(2008)-1}{n - 1}

P(2008,2008)  = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{2-1}{7 - 1}

P(2008,2008) = \frac{2}{7} * \frac{1}{6}

P(2008,2008)  = \frac{1}{7} * \frac{1}{3}

P(2008,2008)  = \frac{1}{21}

So:

P(Not\ 2019) = P(2001,2001) +  P(2001,2008) +  P(2008,2001) +  P(2008,2008)

P(Not\ 2019) = \frac{1}{21} + \frac{2}{21} +\frac{2}{21} +\frac{1}{21}

Take LCM

P(Not\ 2019) = \frac{1+2+2+1}{21}

P(Not\ 2019) = \frac{6}{21}

Simplify

P(Not\ 2019) = \frac{2}{7}

Given right triangle MNL what is the value of cos(M)?
FromTheMoon [43]

Step 1

<u>Find the length of the side MN</u>

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

ML^{2} =NL^{2} +MN^{2}

Solve for MN

MN^{2}=ML^{2} -NL^{2}

in this problem

ML=25\ units\\ NL=15\ units

Substitute in the formula above

MN^{2}=25^{2} -15^{2}

MN^{2}=400

MN=20\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the value of cos (M)</u>

we know that

in the right triangle MNL

cos (M)=\frac{adjacent\ side\ angle\ M}{hypotenuse}

adjacent\ side\ angle\ M=MN=20\ units\\ hypotenuse=ML=25\ units

Substitute

cos (M)=\frac{20}{25}

cos (M)=\frac{4}{5}

cos (M)=0.8

therefore

The answer is

The value of cos(M) is equal to 0.8
