Answer:

seventeen out of twenty

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase that describes this probability would be

seventeen out of twenty

This is because the bag has a total of 20 candies ( 3 strawberry chews and 17 cherry chews). If he randomly chooses one from the bag, he has a 17/20 chance of getting a cherry chew because there are 17 total cherry chews in the bag. If we were to change this fraction into a phrase it would be the phrase above in bold.

Solve 1/x = x - 1<br><br> What is special about the positive solution?
Basile [38]
1 = x^2 - x
x^2-x-1=0
quadratic formula:
x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4(1)(-1)}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt5}{2}
the positive root is special because it's equal to the golden ratio

Please help me with this math problem!!!
vaieri [72.5K]

Prob( red die shows > 3) = 1/2

Prob ( green dye shows < 3) = 1/3

Required probability = P( red> 3) * P(green not < 3) + P(red not > 3) * P(green <3)

= 1/3*2/3 + 1/2*1/3

= 7/18

Note i have excluded the possibillty that red > 3 AND green < 3.
