What is the probability of randomly selecting a month pf year and not getting a month that ends in y?

Mathematics

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The months whose names end in 'y' include Jan, Feb, May, Jul.  The probability of randomly selecting a month whose name ends in 'y' is 4/12 (remember that there are 12 months in a year), or 1/3.

Thus, the probability of selecting a month whose name does NOT end in 'y' is 8/12, or 2/3.  Note that this event is the 'complement' of the first event:  

P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - P(name does not end in 'y') = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Remember that you can always multiply or divide BOTH the numerator and denominator
of the fraction by anything you want to.  You just have to do exactly the same to both of
them.

The way to simplify a fraction is to divide both the numerator and denominator by their
greatest common factor.

Do you see all of those 'x's on the top and bottom ?  The top and bottom can
both be divided by x-cubed.

<u>Numerator:</u>
Divide (-4³) by x³, and you have (-4) left.

<u>Denominator:</u>
Divide (x³ - 2x⁴) by x³, and you have (1 - 2x) left.

So, the simplified fraction is [  -4 / (1 - 2x)  ].

That's a perfectly good answer, but you could make it look a little prettier
if you multiply the top and bottom both by -1 .  Then it would be

                             4 / (2x - 1) .

Either one is fine.

How to calculate the rise and run of a slope (4,-1) and (-2,3)
astra-53 [7]
m =  \frac{ y_{2} - y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} }
m =   \frac{3 - (-1)}{-2 - 4}
m =  \frac{4}{2}
m = 2

A graph has number of days on the x-axis and number of canned goods on the y-axis. A line goes through points (2, 699) and (8, 3
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Slope:-63

Y-intercept: (0,825)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope= y2-y1 ÷ x2-x1

321-699 ÷ 8-2

-378 ÷ 6 =-63

Y-intercept:  

y=-63x+b

to get b (y-intercept) plug in one of the points and solve.

​

699=-63(2)+b

699=-126+b

699+126=-126+126+b

699+126=0+b

825=b
