On a shelf there are 6 novels, 8 poetry books, and 4 mystery books. What is the probability that person A chooses a novel,then a mystery and walks away, then person B picks a mystery and a poetry book?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2/255

Step-by-step explanation:

In total, there are 18 books on the shelf.

The probability that person A will pick a novel is 6/18 = 1/3

There are now 5 novels and 17 total books on the shelf

The probability that person A then picks a mystery is 4/17.

There are now 3 mysteries and 16 total books on the shelf.

The probability that person B then picks a mystery is 3/16.

There are now 2 mysteries and 15 total books on the shelf.

The probability that person B then picks a poetry book is 8/15.

The probability that all these events occur back to back is the product of their individual probabilities. Therefore, the probability is:

1/3 * 4/17 * 3/16 * 8/15 = 2/255

Which of the following is not a case of direct variation?a Number of sheets of some kind and increased when their total weight its inceased. b More quantity of petrol is required to travel more distance with a fixed speed. c More fees would be collected if number of students increased in a class. d Time taken will be less if number of workors are increased to complete the same work.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables, x and y have a direct variation, it means that an increase in x would lead to a corresponding increase in y. A decrease on x would lead to a corresponding decrease in y.

Therefore, we would compare the scenarios to determine which is not a direct variation. The correct option is

d) Time taken will be less if number of workers are increased to complete the same work.​

2/3 - 4x + 7/2 = -9x + 5/6 apply the properties.. step by step

Answers

Answer:

x=5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3+7/2=9x+5/6+4x

2/3+7/2-5/6=9x+4x

lcm of 2,3,6=6

2/3=4/6      7/2=21/6       5/6=5/6

4/6+21/6-5/6=9x+4x

30/6=13x

5=13x

x=5/13

Steps:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2/3−4x+7/2=−9x+5/6

2/3+−4x+7/2=−9x+5/6

(−4x)+( 2/3 + 7/2 )=−9x+ 5/6 (Combine Like Terms)

−4x+25/6=−9x+5/6

−4x+25/6=−9x+5/6

Step 2: Add 9x to both sides.

−4x+25/6+9x=−9x+5/6+9x

5x+25/6=5/6

Step 3: Subtract 25/6 from both sides.

5x+25/6−25/6=5/6−25/6

5x=−10/3

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5=−10/3/5

=  x=-2/3

In the diagram above, <1 = 135º.
Find the measure of <3.

Answers

Answer:

The measurement of ∠3 is 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem, we are given a measurement. The measurement of ∠1 is 135°. We are asked to find the measurement of ∠3.

∠1 and ∠3 are corresponding angles. This means that they will have the same measurements.

So, if m∠1 is 135° then the m∠3 is also 135°

Answer:

m∠=135°

Step-by-step explanation:

These lines are parallel lines, which is indicated by the two arrows towards the right of the lines.

Since these lines are parallel, corresponding angles, such as ∠1 and ∠3 can exist.

Corresponding angles are congruent, which means they have the same measure.

∠1 and ∠3 are corresponding angles, therefore

∠1=∠3

We know that the measure of ∠1 is 135 degrees. Therefore, ∠3 will also have a measure of 135 degrees.

135=∠3

The measure of ∠3 is 135 degrees.

OA= (1,3,-1) and OD=(-1,0,n) find the value of n for which the length of AD is 7 units

Answers

Answer:

n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

0A = (1,3,-1) and OD=(-1,0,n)

AD = √ (-1-1)^2 + (0-3)^2 + (n-(-1))^2

7 = √ (-2)^2 + (-3)^2 + (n+1)^2

7 = √4 + 9 + (n+1)^2

Now squaring both sides we have :

7^2 = (√4 + 9 + (n+1)^2)^2

49 = 4 +9 + (n+1)^2

49 = 13 + (n+1)^2

49 -13 = (n+1)^2

36 = (n+1)^2

Taking the square root of both sides we have :

√36 = √(n+1)^2

6 = (n+1)

6 = n + 1

6 - 1 = n

5 = n

Therefore n = 5

In △XYZ, m∠X = 27° and m∠Y = 48°. Which gives the sides of the triangle in order from shortest to longest?

Answers

Answer:

z, y and x

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, to answer this question, what we must know is that the side facing the largest angle is the largest while the side facing the smallest is the smallest.

What i’m saying in essence is that the bigger the angle faced, the larger the side.

Now since we have 3 angles in a triangle that adds up to 180

we have 27 and 48 already, the third side would be 180-27-48 = 105

So which side faces which angle?

Let’s have a diagrammatic representation of the said triangle.

Check this in the attachment please

The longest side is thus z, followed by y and lastly x

The measure of the angle from shortest to longest will be ∠z, ∠y, and ∠x.

What is angle measurement?

An angle measure is the measurement of the angle created by two rays or arms at a shared vertex in geometry. A protractor is used to measure angles in degrees (°).

Given data;

m∠X = 27°

m∠Y = 48°

The sum of the angle of the triangle is 180°

m∠X+m∠Y+m∠Z = 180°

27° +48° + m∠Z  =  180°

m∠Z = 105°

The order of the angle measurement;

m∠Z > m∠Y > m∠X

Hence, the measure of the angle from shortest to longest will be ∠z, ∠y, and ∠x.

Dante and Mia have a total of 350 pennies in their piggy banks, altogether. After Dante lost half of his pennies and Mia lost one third of her pennies, they both had an equal amount of pennies left. How many pennies did they lose altogether?

Answers

Answer:

150 pennies were lost altogether

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies

Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies

Mathematically ;

x + y = 350 •••••••(i)

So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.

Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left

So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies

This means that;

x/2 = 2y/3

Cross multiply;

3x = 4y •••••••(ii)

Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;

From i , x = 350-y

Substitute this into equation ii

3(350-y) = 4y

1050-3y = 4y

7y = 1050

y = 1050/7

y = 150

since x = 350-y

x = 350-150 = 200

Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100

Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50

Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABD, AD is the hypotenuse (longest side)

We know that according to Pythagoras theorem,

a^2+b^2=c^2

In the figure, c (10cm) and a (5cm) is given. So,

(5)^2 + b^2 = 100

25+b^2 = 100

b^2 = 75

So b is √75 = 8.66

Therefore BD is 8.66 cm

Now even BDC is a triangle

In it, the hypotenuse is missing but we know the value of other sides

so, in Pythagorean theorem,

a=4 (CD)

b=8.66 (BD)

c=x

Therefore,

(4)^2 + (8.66)^2 = x^2

16+74.99= x^2

x^2 = 90.99

x= 9.54 cm

How many real solutions does the equation 8x^2 − 10x + 15 = 0 have?

Answers

Answer:

It has no real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation

Once you calculate the discriminant,  D= (-10)^2 -4 (8)(15), you simplify the expression to get D= -380, which has no real solutions.

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic equations are in the form of ax^2+bx+c, so a = 8, b= -10, and c = 15.

Use b^2 - 4ac to find the discriminant.

-10^2 - 4(8)(15) = -580

If a discriminant is < 0 then there are no real solutions to a quadratic equation. -580 < 0

Therefore, there are no real solutions

According to survey records, 75.4% of women aged 20-24 have never been married. In a random sample of 25 young women aged 20-24, find the mean, variance and standard deviation for the number who are or who have been married.

Answers

Answer:

mean = 6.15

variance = 4.637

standard deviation = 2.15

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 75.4% of women aged 20-24 have never been married.

We are interested in finding the mean, variance and standard deviation for the number who are or who have been married.

So the percentile of women who have been married is given by

[tex]p = 1 - 0.754 \\\\ p = 0.246 \\\\q = 1 - p \\\\q = 1 - 0.246 \\\\q = 0.754[/tex]

The mean is given by

[tex]mean = n\times p[/tex]

Where n is the sample size

[tex]mean = 25\times 0.246 \\\\mean = 6.15[/tex]

Therefore, the mean is 6.15

The variance is given by

[tex]variance = n \times p \times q \\\\variance = 25 \times 0.246 \times 0.754 \\\\variance = 4.637[/tex]

Therefore, the variance is 4.637

The standard deviation is given by

[tex]standard \: deviation = \sqrt{variance} \\\\standard \: deviation = \sqrt{4.637} \\\\standard \: deviation = 2.15[/tex]

Therefore, the standard deviation is 2.15

The area of a circle is 18pi square inches. If the area of a sector of this circle is 6pi square inches, then which of the following must be the sector's central angle?
Please help I’ll give you brainliest promise !

Answers

Answer:

240 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a circle is

A = 2 * pi * r^2

we need to calculate the radius of the circle first

18pi = 2pi * r^2

divide both sides by 2pi

r^2 = 9

r = 3 inches

Area of sector = angle/360 * pi * r^2

6pi = angle/360 * pi * 3^2

6pi = angle/360 * 9pi

(360 * 6pi)/9pi = angle

40 * 6 = 240 degrees
