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}

If the graphs of a system of linear equations are the same line, how many solutions does the system have?
inn [45]

Answer:

If the graphs of the equations do not intersect (for example, if they are parallel), then there are no solutions that are true for both equations. If the graphs of the equations are the same, then there are an infinite number of solutions that are true for both equations.

What is slope? Provide two examples of realistic situations where slope manifests itself. In each example make sure to state wha
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1. A slope is a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.

"he slithered helplessly down the slope"

Some real life examples of slope include: in building roads one must figure out how steep the road will be. skiers/snowboarders need to consider the slopes of hills in order to judge the dangers, speeds, etc. when constructing wheelchair ramps, slope is a major consideration.

Factor x2-3x - 28
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x equal to -4 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x square - 3 x - 28 equals 0 so for me are you now find factors of 28 that and you add you add or multiply those two factors to get those two factors to give you 28 so now so you know Factor ways to get (open x + 4) Close x (open x - 7) close equal to zero your ex number comes -4 or 7
