Answer:

c. 0.3421

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability of selecting the biased coin is shown below:

The probability of any coin selected is 1 ÷ 2

The probability in the case when the biased coin chosen & wins 1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)

And, the win probability is 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)

Now the probability of biased or win is

=  {1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)} ÷ { 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)}

= 0.13 ÷ 0.38

= 0.3421

Hence, the correct option is c. 0.3421

olga55 [171]

Answer:

If the variable is x, then they have x + 5 toffees altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no way to find x as it is an unknown number. "5 more than" simply means that you add 5 to x.

I need help with these two equations
Ivan

for these you need to rearrange the equations and do substitutions.

 #3 = if x+y=5 then you know x = 5-y

 now substitute that equation for x in the 2nd one so x + 2y = 8 becomes

5-y + 2y = 8 2y - y becomes 1y which becomes y then subtract 5 from each side to get y =3

now replace y with 3 in the first equation x = 5-3 so x = 2 

 so (2,3) is the answer


 same type of work for #4

2x-y=6 ,S0 y = 2X+6

 so now you have 4x+2(2x+6)=-4

that becomes 4x +4x+12 = -4

8x+8 = 1, x =1

y = 2(1)-6 = -4

 so answer is (1,-4)

calculate the scale factor of abc to def enter answer as a whole number or as a fraction into lowest terms
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Scale is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all sides and angles are identical these are congruent triangles

3 ways to solve:

Scale Factor = DE / AB = 12/72 = 1/6

Scale Factor = DF/AC = 7/42 = 1/6

Scale Factor = EF/CB = 11/66 = 1/6
