Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cockles be c and that of winkles be w.

From the first relation,

w = 2c ..........(I)

From the second relation, 6 winkles are accidentally split.

This in equation form means the following:

c/w- 6 = 3/5

By cross multiplication,

5c = 3(w - 6)...........(ii)

We know w = 2c , let’s substitute this into the second equation.

5c = 3(2c - 6)

5c = 6c - 18

Collecting like times, c = 18

And w = 2c = 2(18) = 36

Hence, there were initially 18 cockles and 36 winkles

Solve |3k-2|=2|k+12|

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$k = 26$ or $k = -\dfrac{22}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

|3k - 2| = 2|k + 12|

$\dfrac{|3k - 2|}{|k + 12|} = 2$

$|\dfrac{3k - 2}{k + 12}| = 2$

$3k - 2 = 2(k + 12)$ or $3k - 2 = -2(k + 12)$

$3k - 2 = 2k + 24$ or $3k - 2 = -2k - 24$

$k = 26$ or $5k = -22$

$k = 26$ or $k = -\dfrac{22}{5}$

Urn 1 contains 3 blue tokens and 2 red tokens; urn 2 contains 2 blue tokens and 4 red tokens. All tokens are indistinguishable.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

RR = 0.4

RB = 0.3

BB = 0.22

BR = 0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

P( Urn 1 ) = 2/6 = 1/3

P( Urn 2 ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Urn 1 contains : 3 blue and 2 red

P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/5 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/4 ( without replacement )

P( red | urn 1 ) = 2 / 5 ( with replacement ) , P(red | urn 1 ) = 1/2 ( without replacement )

Urn 2 contains : 2 blue and 4 red

P ( blue | urn 2 ) = 1/3 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 2 ) = 2/5 ( without replacement )

P ( red | urn 2 ) = 2/3 ( with replacement) , P( red | urn 2 ) = 4/5 ( without replacement )

Determine

<u>i) Possible outcomes when two tokens are drawn from either Urn without replacement </u>

RR = [[ ( 2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] = 0.4

RB = [[ (2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.3

BB = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.22

BR = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.30

A restaurant offers a special pizza with any 4 toppings. If the restaurant has 15 topping from which to choose, how many differe

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: 1,365 possible special pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first topping, there are 15 possibilities, for the second topping, there are 14 possibilities, for the third topping, there are 13 possibilities, and for the fourth topping, there are 12 possibilities. This is how you find the number of possible ways.

15 * 14 * 13 * 12 = 32,760

Now, you need to divide that by the number of toppings you are allowed to add each time you add a topping.

4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24

32,760 / 24 = 1,365

There are 1,365 possible special pizzas
