Answer: P = 0.125 = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that he has a blue coat and a black coat.
If he dresses at random, then the probability of getting the blue coat is equal to the quotient between the number of blue coats (1) and the total number of coats (2).
Then the probability is:
p = 1/2
We also know that he has blue pants and brown pants, the probability of getting at random the blue pants is calculated in the same way than above, then:
q = 1/2
And for the shirt he has a blue shirt and a red one, the probability of randomly selecting the blue one is calculated in the same way than above, then:
k = 1/2
Now, the joint probability (he selects all blue clothes) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities:
P = p*q*k = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8 = 0.125
Answer:
y = 2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
10x - 5y = -30
-5y = -10x - 30
y = 2x + 6
Answer:
7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=9
3x+5y=19
I will do this problem in 2 ways. I.)Substitution II.)Elimination
Solution I.) Substitution
We can subtract 2x from both sides in the first equation.
y=9-2x
Now we can substitute the y in the second equation with 9-2x
3x+5(9-2x)=19
-7x+45=19
-7x=-26
x=26/7
y=9-2(26/7)=11/7
Solution II.)Elimination
We can multiply both side of first equation by 5 to get a 5y in both equations.
10x+5y=45
Now because both are positive 5y we just need to do simple subtraction of the 2 equation, each side respectively.
(10x+5y)-(3x+5y)=45-19
7x=26
x=26/7
2*26/7+y=9
y=11/7
Ultimately you get the same answer, both are viable methods, some problems are faster with one method but I recommend mastering both since they are very useful.
