The odds against a particular event happening are 9 : 7. What is the probability that the event will happen?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vsevolod [243]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Odds against = number of failures / number of successes

So number of failures = 9 and the number of successes = 7.

Probability = number of successes / number of total events

P = 7 / (7 + 9)

P = 7/16

An online retailer is offering a 30% savings on your total order. You decide to purchase a pair of pants for $82, two shirts for
Natali [406]

Answer:

$233.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Pants = $82, 2 Shirts = $53 * 2, Shoes = $120

Add all these values up to find the total cost of your order excluding tax.

82 + 53(2) + 120 = 308

Next find the price w/ tax. Multiply 308 by 8.25%, or 0.0825.

308 * 0.0825 = 25.41

Now you add the tax to the total value.

308 + 25.41 = 333.41

The total value including tax is $333.41. The online retailer is offering a 30% savings (discount), so multiply the total price including tax by 30% (0.30).

333.41 * 0.30 = 100.023

Now you subtract the discount from the total price.

333.41 - 100.023 = 233.38700

The question say the answer rounded to the nearest cent or hundredths, so your final answer is 233.39.

The final price of the clothing including all discounts and taxes is $233.39.

What happens to the distance between each billiard ball during this rigid<br><br> transformation?
Delicious77 [7]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

To set up a game of billiards, the first player moves the balls contained within a triangular rack as shown. What happens to the distance between each billiard during this rigid transformation?

A. The distance remains constant throughout the transformation.

B. The distance decreases at the start and increases after all motion stops.

C. The distance stays the same at the start but decreasesexactly when motion ends.

D. The distance increases at the start and then decreases as the rack gets further from the player.

Answer: A. The distance remains constant throughout the transformation.

Step-by-step explanation: In a <u>rigid</u> <u>motion</u>, all moving points in the plane are moving in way such tha:

1)  relative distance between them stays the same and

2) relative position of the points stays the same

There are four types of rigid motions: translation, rotation, reflexion and glide reflection.

<u>Translation</u>: every point or object is moved by the same amount and in the same direction;

<u>Rotation</u>: the object rotates by the same amount around a fixed point;

<u>Reflexion</u>: the object exchange points from one side of a line with points on the other side of the line at the same distance from the line;

<u>Glide</u> <u>Reflection</u>: is a mirror reflection followed by a translation parallel to the mirror.

In the game of billiards, because all the balls are inside the triangular rack, the distance, and also the position, between them stays the same, limited by the rack. Since they are moving by the same amount in the same direction, the rigid transformation is a translation.

Therefore, the distance of the balls in the triangular rack remains constant throughout the transformation.

One inlet pipe can fill an empty pool in 6 hours, and a drain can empty the pool in 12 hours. How long will it take the pipe to
Ainat [17]

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours

Answer: D. Subtracting 9 from each side

Step-by-step explanation:

Always start with numbers without variables first before doing anything with x. And make sure one side must not equal 0 unless you're doing polynomials.
