Answer:

The probability of not picking a pink jelly bean: 11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the maximum value of the probability of an event would always be 1.

The reason is that '1' is certain that something would happen.

Given that the probability of picking a pink jelly bean out of a bag is 4/15.

Thus, the probability of not picking a pink jelly bean can be calculated by subtracting 4/15 from the maximum probability '1'.

i.e.

Probability of not picking a pink jelly bean = max probability - 4/15

= 1 - 4/15

= 11/15

Therefore, the probability of not picking a pink jelly bean: 11/15

What is the distance between the lines y = 2x and y = 2x+5? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The distance between both lines is 2.24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no straight method to find the distance between two lines. The distance can be found out by finding a point on one line and then finding the distance of that point from the other line. The y-coordinate of point is obtained by putting any value of x in equation . The x and y combined give us the point.

Given

$y=2x\\Putting\ x=1\\y=2(1)\\y=2\\So, the\ point\ on\ y=2x\ is\ (1,2)$

We have to find the distance of this point from y=2x+5

$y=2x+5\\Subtracting\ y\ from\ both\ sides\\y-y=2x+5-y\\2x-y+5=0$

The formula for finding distance of a point (x,y) from a line is:

$d=\frac{|Ax+By+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}$

A=2

B=-1

C=5

Putting the values in the formula

$d=\frac{|(2)(1)+(-1)(2)+5|}{\sqrt{(2)^2+(-1)^2}}\\d=\frac{|2-2+5|}{\sqrt{4+1}}\\d=\frac{|5|}{\sqrt{5}}\\d=\frac{5}{\sqrt{5}}\\d=2.236\ units$

Rounding off will give: 2.24 units

The distance between both lines is 2.24 units

A jar contains 8 4/9 pounds of jam. If Sam eats 3 2/5 pounds of the jam, how many pounds of jam remains in the jar?

zepelin [54]

$\bf 8\frac{4}{9}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 9+4}{9}\implies \cfrac{76}{9}
\\\\\\
3\frac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 5+2}{5}\implies \cfrac{17}{5}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{76}{9}-\cfrac{17}{5}\impliedby \textit{let's use an LCD of 45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 76-9\cdot 17}{45}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{380-153}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}\implies \boxed{5\frac{2}{45}}
\\\\\\
5\frac{2}{45}\implies \cfrac{5\cdot 45+2}{45}\implies \cfrac{227}{45}$
