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}

Assume that adults have iq scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 20. if all iq sco
Svetlanka [38]

Let X be the iq score of adults. X is normally distributed with mean of 100 and standard deviation of 20.

If all iq scores are converted to z -scores then we will get z scores. And the z score is standard normal variable with mean=0 and standard deviation =1

Hence the mean and standard deviation of of all z scores will be 0 and 1 respectively.

Find the value of x. Then find the measure of each labeled angle
34kurt

Answer:

x = 109

Top Right Angle = 109

Bottom Right Angle = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice the two right angles on the left and recognize that the figure is a a quadrilateral (4 sides). That means it adds up to a total of 360 degrees.

(x-38) + x + 90 + 90 = 360

2x + 142 = 360

2x = 218

x = 109

(x - 38) = (109 - 38)

71 degrees for bottom right angle

109 for top right angle

Provide an Example of how to draw transformed figures that are translated, reflected, and rotated.
Paladinen [302]

A coordinate grid is very handy when it comes to drawing geometric shapes such as triangles. Let's create an example triangle ABC with the locations

A = (2,3)

B = (9,5)

C = (4,-10)

Plot those points and connect the dots. That forms triangle ABC. We can translate triangle ABC to any other position we want. Let's say we want to shift it 2 units to the left. That means we subtract 2 from each x coordinate while keeping the y coordinates the same. Therefore

A' = (0, 3)

B' = (7, 5)

C' = (2,-10)

Plot triangle A'B'C' and you should see that this is a shifted copy of triangle ABC.

The rotation rules are a bit more complicated, and it depends where you place the center of rotation; however, it is possible to use coordinate math like done above.

Luckily the reflection rules over the x or y axis are fairly simple. If we reflect over the x axis, then we flip the sign of the y coordinate. Or if we wanted to reflect over the y axis, we flip the sign of the x coordinate.

Example: A' = (0,3) reflects over the x axis to get A'' = (0, -3)
