<h3>Answer:</h3>

2/15

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are 8C2 = 28 ways to choose 2 dimes from the 8 dimes in Annie's purse. There are 21C2 = 210 ways to choose 2 coins from the 21 coins in Annie's purse.

Of the 210 ways to choose 2 coins, 28 of the choices will result in 2 dimes being chosen. The probability of choosing 2 dimes is 28/210 = 2/15.

_____

<em>Comment on nCk</em>

The number of ways to choose k objects from n, when order does not matter, is ...

... n!/(k!(n -k)!)

For the computations above, we have ...

... 8C2 = 8·7/(2·1) = 28

... 21C2 = 21·20/(2·1) = 210

Answer:

James bought 11 good tickets and 5 bad tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of each good ticket = $8

Cost of each bad ticket = $5

Total amount spent = $113

Total tickets bought = 16

Let,

x be the number of good tickets bought

y be the number of bad tickets bought

x+y=16     Eqn 1

8x+5y=113    Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5

5(x+y=16)

5x+5y=80    Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(8x+5y)-(5x+5y)=113-80

8x+5y-5x-5y=33

3x=33

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{33}{3}\\x=11

Putting x=11 in Eqn 1

11+y=16

y=16-11

y=5

Hence,

James bought 11 good tickets and 5 bad tickets.

Find the value of t in the diagram
12345 [234]

In a trapezoid, with bases b and B and height h, the area is given by


A = \frac{(B+b)h}{2}


In your case:


B = BC = 3t

b = AD = t

h = AB = t


so, the formula becomes


A = \frac{(3t+t)t}{2} = \frac{4t^2}{2} = 2t^2


Since the area is 50 \text{cm}^2, we have


2t^2 = 50 \iff t^2 = 25 \iff t = 5
