Well, y=ny
2(y-1)=ny
(where ny is not-yellow)
You get y=2y-2 or y=2. You had two yellow birds and two other types.

14 less than 8 times a number is 3 more than 4 times the number. What is the number?

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

x = 17/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number

8x-14 = 4x+3

Subtract 4x from each side

8x -14-4x = 4x+3-4x

4x-14 = 3

Add 14 to each side

4x-14+14 = 3+14

4x = 17

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 17/4

x = 17/4

Consider an experiment whose sample space consists of a countably infinite number of points. Show that not all points can be equ

ella [17]

Answer: if you have infinity points, which i will asume are the events, they cant have the same probability because then the probability will not be normalized, because in graph of prob vs variable, you will se infinite area under the curve if the probability is constant.

And yes, can all points have positive probability of occurring, but besides you medium value (the bell for example) you will see an asintotic decrease to the zero.

Given the equation:

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x = 1 and x = $\frac{-4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, a=5, b=-1, c=-4.

Plug these into the quadratic formula:

x = $\frac{1+\sqrt{-1^{2}-(-4)(5)(-4) } }{2(5)}$ and x = $\frac{1-\sqrt{-1^{2}-(-4)(5)(-4) } }{2(5)}$

Now, simplify the equations:

x = $\frac{1+\sqrt{81} }{10}$ = $\frac{1+9}{10}$ = $\frac{10}{10}$ = 1

and

x = $\frac{1-\sqrt{81} }{10}$ = $\frac{1-9}{10}$ = $\frac{-8}{10}$ = $\frac{-4}{5}$
