Answer: 491 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Steve had 10 more cards than Jeff

Suppose Jeff has x cards

So, steve has x+10 cards

Steve handover his cards to Jeff

Now, Jeff has x+x+10=2x+10 cards

It must be equal to 992

\Rightarrow 2x+10=992\\\Rightarrow 2x=982\\\Rightarrow x=491\ \text{cards}

Jeff started with 491 cards

Select all the ordered pairs that satisfy the function y = 3x + 5. A. (2, –1) A. , (2, –1) B. ( –3, –4) B. , ( –3, –4) C. ( 4, 1
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B. ( –3, –4)

C. ( 4, 17 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Function: y = 3x + 5

Using method of elimination

A. (2, –1)

x = 2, y = -1

-1 = 3 (2) + 5

-1 ≠ 11

This option is incorrect!

B. ( –3, –4)

x = -3, y = -4

-4 = 3 (-3) + 5

-4 = - 9 + 5

-4 = -4

This option is correct!

C. ( 4, 17 )

x = 4, y = 17

17 = 3 (4) + 5

17 = 12 + 5

17 = 17

This option is correct!

D. ( 3, 8 )

x = 3, y = 8

8 = 3 (3) + 5

8 = 9 + 5

8 = 14

This option is incorrect!

Let R be the event that a randomly chosen person lives in the city of Raleigh. Let O be the event that a randomly chosen person
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

P(O|R)

Step-by-step explanation:

The conditional probability notation of two events A and B can be written as either P(A|B) or P(B|A).

The '|' sign is read as 'given'. So, P(A|B) is read as the probability of event A given event B which implies that it is the probability that event A will occur given that event B has already occurred.

In the question,

Event R = Person lives in the city of Raleigh

Event O = Person is over 50 years old

The statement says, 'given that the person lives in Raleigh' which means that event R has already occurred and we need to find the probability of event O (the randomly chosen person is over 50 years old).

Hence, this statement can be given in conditional probability notation as

P(O|R)
