The correct answer to your question is number 2
The answer is X= 25
You just have to divide 125 by 5
Answer:
03%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this situation Mickey should have drew first 7 cards that are not diamond and then on the 8th attempt she should draw an ace.
Let A be the event of drawing 7 cards which are not diamond and B the event of drawing an ace card. therefore required probability is P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)
Now, there are 13 diamonds and 39 other cards. Hence,
P(A)=(
)⁷=0.1335
After drawing 7 non-diamond cards, the 8th card must be a diamond.Hence,
P(B)=
=0.25
Hence, P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B)=0.1335*0.25=0.033(approximately 0.03,i.e. 3%)
Therefore probability that Mickey will draw her first diamond on the 8th
attempt is 3%
The larger number is 17
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the larger number
Let "y" be the smaller number
<em><u>The difference between of two numbers is 9</u></em>
Therefore,
larger number - smaller number = 9
x - y = 9 -------- eqn 1
<em><u>The large number is one more than twice the smaller number</u></em>
Larger number = 1 + 2(smaller number)
x = 1 + 2y ------ eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
<em><u>Substitute y = 8 in eqn 1</u></em>
x - 8 = 9
x = 8 + 9
x = 17
Thus the larger number is 17
