Adam Sandler has 3 pairs of sneakers. They are black, blue and white. If he randomly chooses a pair, what is the probability he

will NOT choose the blue pair?

Answer:

$66\frac{2}{3}%$

Step-by-step explanation:

He has 3 pairs of sneakers:

1 Black

1 Blue

1 White

2 out of 3 are not blue.

This can be written as 2/3

Percentage is a certain number over the denominator of a base ten numeral.

2/3 = $66\frac{2}{3}$ %

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

leva [86]

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First we assign a name to the events:

Event S: a customer buys socks

Event H: a customer buys shoes.

We know that :

$P (S) = 0.15$

We also know that the probability of S given that H occurs is:

$P(S|H) =\frac{P(S\ and\ H)}{P(H)}=0.20$

If two events S and H are independent then:

$P (S) * P (H) = P (S\ and\ H)$

This mean that if two events S and H are independent then:

$P(S|H) =\frac{P(S)*P(H))}{P(H)}$

$P(S|H) =P(S)$

We know that:

$P(S|H) =0.20$ and $P (S) = 0.15$

$0.20\neq 0.15$

This means that S and H events are dependent.

The answer is the option B

PLEASE HELP !!!!!!! Jordan got a new money bank for his birthday with $20 inside. He puts part of his weekly allowance in his ba

kupik [55]

Answer:

Slope of the function is $=3.75$ ,Y-intercept $=20$ .

The function is $y=3.75(x)+20$ with initial value $=20$ ,Jordan puts $\$3.75$ each week andthe amount saved by Jordan after $52$ week $=215\$$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand the slope and y-intercept lets assign $x$ as number of weeks and $y$ as the money saved by Jordan.

Jordan is already having a sum of $\$20$ inside the money bank so in $0$ week the amount is $\$20$ can be written as $(x,y) =(0,20)$ in coordinate form.

SImilarly

We have $(x,y) =(0,20)$ and $(x_1,y_1) =(25,113.75)$

Part A:

The function is $y=m(x)+b$

From point-slope form,we have slope (m)

and $m=\frac{y_1-y}{x_1-x}$ ,plugging the values of the points.

$m=\frac{113.75-20}{25-0}=3.75$

Y-intercept of this function is the constant term or the money of $\$20$ that is already inside the money bank.

We can also calculate y-intercept by arranging the function as $b=y-m(x)$ choosing any $(x_1,y_1) = (25,113.75)$ coordinate and here $b$ is the y-intercept.

The result will be same.

Part B:

The equation <u> $y=3.75(x)$ </u> can represent the function described.

And the initial value is the <u>y-intercept $=\$20$ </u>

Jordan puts<u> $3.75$ </u>in his bank each week.

After $52$ week the amount saved by Jordan ,here $x=52$ ,as the x-variable is the number of weeks.

Plugging the value of $x=52$ in $y=m(x)+b$ where $m=3.75$ so the equation becomes $y=3.75(x)+20$

$y=3.75(x)+20 =3.75(52)+20=\$215$

So basically the function is $y=3.75(x)+20$ and the amount saved by Jordan after $52$ week $=215\$$ .

What is the factorization of the polynomial below?<br> 5x2 - 35x + 60

natita [175]

Answer:

$5(x-3)(x-4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x^2-35x+60$

Start by factoring out a 5:

$5(x^2-7x+12)$

We need to find two integers that have a product of 12, and a sum of -7:

(-3)(-4)=12

-3-4=-7

We can split -7x into -3x and -4x

$5(x^2-3x-4x+12)$

Factor each half separately:

$5[x(x-3)-4(x-3)]$

Since x and -4 are both being multiplied by x-3, we can combine them:

$5(x-3)(x-4)$
