Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs

Answer:
5 / 28
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 ÷ 20/5
= 5/7 x 5/20
= (5 x 5) / (7 x 20)
= 25 / 140 (divide numerator and denominator by 5)
= 5 / 28
Answer:
(b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
When two p and q events are independent then, by definition:
P (p and q) = P (p) * P (q)
Then, if q and r are independent events then:
P(q and r) = P(q)*P(r) = 1/4*1/5
P(q and r) = 1/20
P(q and r) = 0.05
In the question that is shown in the attached image, we have two separate urns. The amount of white balls that we take in the first urn does not affect the amount of white balls we could get in the second urn. This means that both events are independent.
In the first ballot box there are 9 balls, 3 white and 6 yellow.
Then the probability of obtaining a white ball from the first ballot box is:

In the second ballot box there are 10 balls, 7 white and 3 yellow.
Then the probability of obtaining a white ball from the second ballot box is:

We want to know the probability of obtaining a white ball in both urns. This is: P(
and
)
As the events are independent:
P(
and
) = P (
) * P (
)
P(
and
) = 
P(
and
) = 
Finally the correct option is (b) 
Answer:
A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers is a(n) __uniform__________ distribution
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there is a continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers
Since the pdf is rectangular in shape and total probability is one we can say all values in the interval would be equally likely
Say if the interval is (a,b) P(X) = p the same for all places
Since total probability is 1,
we get integral of P(X)=p(b-a) =1
Or p= 
this is nothing but a uniform distribution continuous defined in the interval
A continuous probability distribution having a rectangular shape, where the probability is evenly distributed over an interval of numbers is a(n) __uniform__________ distribution
