Answer:

P(cream and sugar) = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the meaning of or , and on probability

- The use of the word or means that you are calculating the probability

 that either event A or event B happened

-  Both events do not have to happen

- The use the word and, means that both event A and B have to happen

* The addition rules are:

# P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) ⇒ mutually exclusive (events cannot happen

 at the same time)

# P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) ⇒ non-mutually exclusive (if they

 have at least one outcome in common)

- The union is written as A∪B or “A or B”.

- The intersection is written as A∩B or “A and B”

* Lets solve the question

∵ P(cream) = 0.5

∵ P(sugar) = 0.6

∵ P(cream or sugar) = 0.7

- To find P(cream and sugar) lets use the rule of non-mutually exclusive

∵ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

∴ P(cream or sugar) = P(cream) + P(sugar) - P(cream and sugar)

- Lets substitute the values of P(cream) , P(sugar) , P(cream or sugar)

 in the rule

∵ 0.7 = 0.5 + 0.6 - P(cream and sugar) ⇒ add the like terms

∴ 0.7 = 1.1 - P(cream and sugar) ⇒ subtract 1.1 from both sides

∴ 0.7 - 1.1 = - P(cream and sugar)

∴ - 0.4 = - P(cream and sugar) ⇒ multiply both sides by -1

∴ 0.4 = P(cream and sugar)

* P(cream and sugar) = 0.4

The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2). On a coordinate plane, line A B has points (4, 1) and (n
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

(-1,1),(4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has endpoints A(4, 1) and B(–1, –2).

To find: coordinates of vertex of the right angle

Solution:

Let C be point (x,y)

Distance between points (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2) is given by \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

AC=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+(y-1)^2}\\BC=\sqrt{(x+1)^2+(y+2)^2}\\AB=\sqrt{(4+1)^2+(1+2)^2}=\sqrt{25+9}=\sqrt{34}

ΔABC is a right angled triangle, suing Pythagoras theorem (square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of base and perpendicular)

34=\left [ (x-4)^2+(y-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (x+1)^2+(y+2)^2 \right ]

Put (x,y)=(-1,1)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9\\34=34

which is true. So, (-1,1) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-2)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+25\\34=34

which is true. So, (4,-2) can be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(1,1)

34=\left [ (1-4)^2+(1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (1+1)^2+(1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=9+4+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (1,1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(2,-2)

34=\left [ (2-4)^2+(-2-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (2+1)^2+(-2+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+9+9\\34=22

which is not true. So, (2,-2) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(4,-1)

34=\left [ (4-4)^2+(-1-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (4+1)^2+(-1+2)^2 \right ]\\34=4+25+1\\34=30

which is not true. So, (4,-1) cannot be a vertex

Put (x,y)=(-1,4)

34=\left [ (-1-4)^2+(4-1)^2 \right ]+\left [ (-1+1)^2+(4+2)^2 \right ]\\34=25+9+36\\34=70

which is not true. So, (-1,4) cannot be a vertex

So, possible points for the vertex are (-1,1),(4,-2)

1/4 cups is how much pints
oksano4ka [1.4K]
First we need the equivalence between cups and pints to solve this question, the equivalence is:
1 cup is 0.5 pint
So we can use a rule of three simple, direct proportion to solve the problem, we change the fraction 1/4 = 0.25 to ease calculations:
1 cup ----> 0.5 pint
0.25 cup ---> x

x = (0.25)(0.5)/1
x = 0.125

Therefore 1/4 cups is equivalent to 0.125 pints
