There are 8 red, 4 green and 12 yellow balls in a box. If you choose one ball from the box, what is the probability that it will

be a yellow ball?
Mathematics
1 answer:
rusak2 [61]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

50% percent chance the ball will be yellow

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the amount of all the balls-24 and the amount of yellow balls-12

Then divide the number of yellow balls by the number of total balls.

12÷24=0.5

0.5=50%

For which inequality would x = 8 not be a solution?4x + 3 > 09x - 5 < 100x + 4 ≤ 1072 ÷ x ≥ 4
galina1969 [7]

Given:

Given the inequalities:4

\begin{gathered} 4x+3>0 \\ 9x-5

Required: Identify the inequality in which x = 8 is a solution.

Explanation:

Substitute 8 for x in each inequality and check whether it satisfies the inequality.

Consider 4x + 3 > 0.

4\cdot8+3=35>0

So, x = 8 satisfies the inequality 4x + 3 > 0.

Consider 9x - 5 < 100.

9\cdot8-5=67

So, x = 8 satisfies the inequality 9x - 5 < 100.

Consider x + 4 ≤ 10.

8+4=12>10

So, x = 8 not satisfies the inequality.

Consider 72 ÷ x ≥ 4.

72\div8=9\ge4

So, x = 8 satisfies the inequality.

Final Answer: The inequality in which x = 8 is not a solution is x + 4 ≤ 10.

Briony invests some money. Interest is paid on the money at a rate of 2% per annum for the first year and 1% per annum for the s
nalin [4]

Answer:

Brionny invested £8400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple Interest

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P

In this question:

We divide in two intervals, the first year and the second year. We have to know that the amount after the end of the first year is the principal at the start of the second year.

First year:

Amount of 2% interest, during 1 year.

So the interest earned is:

E = P*I*t = P*0.02*1 = 0.02P

The total amount at the end of the first year is:

T = E + P = 0.02P + P = 1.02P

Second year:

We have that:

P = 1.02P

The interest earned is of:

E = P*I*t = 1.02P*0.01*1 = 0.0102P

The total amount is:

T = E + P = 0.0102P + 1.02P = 1.0302P

After two years, the investment is worth £8653.68 How much did Briony invest?

So

1.0302P = 8653.68

P = \frac{8653.68}{1.0302}

P = 8400

Brionny invested £8400.

What is the 4th term of the linear sequence below?<br> -9,-5, -1,3,7,...
Anton [14]

Answer:

The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First term, a = -9

Common difference, d = -5 - (-9)

= -5 + 9

= 4

d = 4

The 4th term of the linear sequence = a + (n - 1)d

where,

n = 4

a + (n - 1)d

= -9 + (4 - 1)4

= -9 + (3)4

= -9 + 12

= 3

The 4th term of the linear sequence = 3

The histogram shows the duration, in minutes, of movies in theaters.
neonofarm [45]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:

The median is less than the mean.

Explanation:

This histogram is skewed right; the data "peaks" further to the left than the center.

If a histogram is skewed right, the mean is greater than the median.

This is because skewed-right data have a few large values that increase the mean but do not affect where the exact middle of the data is.

3. For the equation-4y = &amp;r, what is the constant of variation? (1 point)<br> ООО<br> 02
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

3).

- 4y = 8x \\  \frac{y}{x}  =  \frac{8}{ - 4}  \\  \frac{y}{x} =  - 2 \\ y =  - 2x \\ hence \: constant \: is \:  - 2

4).

y \alpha x \\ y = kx \\ where \: k \: is \: the \: constant \: of \: proportionality \\ when \: y = 24 \: and \: x = 8 \\ substitute \: in \: y = kx \\ 24 = 8k \\ k =  \frac{24}{8}  \\ k = 3 \\ value \: of \: constant = 3

If it was by 10, k = 3 by 10

k = 30

5).

general \: equation \: of \: line  \\ y = mx + c \\ but \: m =  \frac{2}{3}  \: and \: c = 9 \\ substitute \: for \: m \: and \: c \: in \: y = mx + c \\ y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 9 \\ alternatively \\ 3y = 2x + 27
