Answer:

6 red balls

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability in the first pick

6/21

The probability in the second pick (without replacement)

5/20

the requested probability

(6/21)(5/20) = 30/420

simplification

30/420 = 3/42 = 1/14

Hope this helps

Answer:

6 red balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are x red balls then

probability of 2 red balls

= x/21 * (x - 1)/20 = 1/14

x^2 - x / 420 = 1/14

x^2 - x = 30

x^2 - x - 30 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0

x = 6.

Answer:

<em>1) 6%</em>

<em>2) $1,689.35</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given the following

Sales tax = $64.80

Price of the computer = $1080

Required

rate of sales tax

Using the expression

x% of 1080 = 64.80

x/100 * 1080 = 64.80

10.80x = 64.80

x = 64.80/10.80

x = 6%

<em>Hence the rate of sales tax is 6%</em>

<em></em>

2) Given the following

Price of the car = $25,990

Tax rate = 6.5%

Sales tax charged = 6.5% of $25,990

Sales tax charged = 6.5/100 * 25,990

Sales tax charged = 6.5 * 259.9

Sales tax charged = $1,689.35

<em>hence the sales tax being charged is $1,689.35</em>

10. Use the vertical line test to determine if the graph below
klasskru [66]

The graph is a function. When drawing a vertical line, there will be two circumstances:

  1. The line intersects only one point on a graph.
  2. The line intersects more than one point on a graph ( POI > 1 )

For the first circumstance, the graph that has only one intersect with a line - it is a function. For the second circumstance, the graph cannot be a function as it gives more than one y-value for a single x-value.

The conclusion is that if a line only has one intersect on a graph then it is a function. Otherwise, not a function but a relation instead. All functions are relations, but not all relations can be functions.

Answer

  • The graph passes the vertical line test and is a function.
