A bag contains n counters. one counter is blue and the rest are red. Two counters are taken at random from the bag. a) express, in terms of n, the probability that a counter of each colour is taken. Give your answer as a fraction. b) the probability that a counter of each colour is taken is 0.125. How many red counters are in the bag?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A] Probability = 1/n ; B] Number = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Total counters = n , Blue counter = 1 , Red counters (remaining) = n -1

A] Prob (One blue, & One red counter) = (Blue counter / Total counters) x (Red counters / Total remaining counters) = [1 / n] x [ (n -1) / (n-1)] = 1 / n

Alternative, Prob  (One red, & one blue) = (Red counter / Total counters) x (Blue counters / remaining counters) = [ (n-1) / n ] x [1 / (n-1) ]  = 1 / n

B] Prob (each color , a blue & red counter taken) = 0.125  {Given}

By A], this Prob = 1/n.

So, 0.125 = 1/n → n = 1 / 0.125 = 8

What is the probability that both you and your best friend get the 100 classroom credits?
PLEASE SHOW WORK!!​

Answers

Answer:

1/1560

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of you winning is 1/40, since there are 40 students and you are one of those students. Since, you cannot win again once you win once, you are eliminated. This leaves us with 39 people left. The chances of your friend being chosen out of the 39 people left is 1/39. Now you must multiply 1/40 and 1/39. After multiplying, you get 1/1560.

which statement best compares the volumes of the two rectangular prisms

Answers

Answer:

The volume of prism A is the same as the volume of prism B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for prisms

Required

Compare the volume of both

First, we calculate the volume of both prisms.

Prism A is a rectangular prism.

So, its volume is:

[tex]V_A = Length * Base * Height[/tex]

Where

[tex]Length \to a[/tex]

[tex]Base \to b[/tex]

[tex]Height \to h[/tex]

So:

[tex]V_A = abh[/tex]

For Prism B, we have:

[tex]Volume = Base\ Area * Height[/tex]

Where

[tex]Base\ Area = Length * Base[/tex]

and

[tex]Length = a[/tex]

[tex]Base = b[/tex]

So:

[tex]Base\ Area = a * b[/tex]

[tex]Base\ Area = a b[/tex]

The volume is then calculated as:

[tex]Volume = Base\ Area * Height[/tex]

[tex]V_B = ab * Height[/tex]

Where

[tex]Height \to h[/tex]

So:

[tex]V_B = ab * h[/tex]

[tex]V_B = abh[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]V_A = V_B = abh[/tex]

using substitution
x+3y=3
3y-2x=12

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

x + 3y = 3 3y - 2x = 12

And we need to solve the equation using Substituting method . So on taking the first equation ,

[tex]\rm\implies x + 3y = 3 \\\\\rm\implies x = 3 - 3y [/tex]

Put this value in (ii) :-

[tex]\rm\implies 3y - 2x = 12 \\\\\rm\implies 3y - 2(3-3y)=12\\\\\rm\implies 3y -6-6y = 12 \\\\\rm\implies -3y = 18 \\\\\rm\implies y = -6 [/tex]

Put this Value in (I) :-

[tex]\\\\\rm\implies x = 3-3*-6 \\\\\rm\implies x = 3+18 \\\\\rm\implies x = 21 [/tex]

Hence the Value of x is 21 and y is (-6) .

Answer:

x = -3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok this is a long one but bear with me lol, i promise i will make it easy to understand, performing one step at a time.

So we are given 2 equations right? We can take any of these one equation and isolate any one variable, either x or y, I will take the first equation and isolate x from it cuz it's the easiest way;

=> x + 3y = 3

=> x = -3y + 3 (Let's pretend this is not an equation for x but a "value")

Now that we have the x isolated from first equation, we can substitute x "value" in for the x in second equation. To solve for y;

=> 3y - 2 (-3y + 3) = 12

=> 3y + 6y - 6 = 12

=> 9y - 6 = 12

=> 9y = 12 + 6

=> 9y = 18

=> y = 18/9

=> y = 2

At this point we are almost done with the question! So since we got a real value for one of our variable (which in this case is y-value), we can substitute that in any of the given equation, We can also use the equation where in we isolated "x", so I'll use that cuz it's gonna require less steps, to find the real x-value:

=> The equation we found out up there is: x = -3y + 3

=> Now just simply substitute the y-value we figured in the equation above:

=> x = -3y + 3

=> x = -3(2) + 3

=> x = -6 + 3

=> x = -3

Ayee we did it lol so the final answer would be:

x = -3

y = 2

I really hope this made sense, and that it helps!

Shannon went to an auto repair shop and paid $339.50, which included parts that cost $112 and 3.5 hours of labor. Joni went to an auto repair shop and paid $455, which included parts that cost $310 and 2.5 hours of labor. Which correctly compares the cost of the labor?

Answers

Answer:

Option A, Shannon paid $ 7 per hour to labor than Joni

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount paid by Shannon = $339.50

Total cost of 3.5 hours of labor paid by Shannon =($339.50- $112)

Total cost of 3.5 hours of labor paid by Shannon = $227.5/3.5

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Shannon  $65 per hour

Total amount paid by Joni = $455

Total cost of 2.5 hours of labor paid by Joni =  $455- $$310

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Joni = $145/2.5

Total cost of 1 hours of labor paid by Joni = $ 58

Hence, Shannon paid $ 7 per hour to labor than Joni

A boat traveled 448 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 14 hours. The trip back took 16 hours. B) boat: 30 mph, current: 2 mph.

How to find the speed of an object?

If the object is going linearly, and at a constant speed, then the speed of that object is given by the distance it traveled to the time it took to travel that distance.

If the object traveled D distance in T units time, then that object's speed is

[tex]Speed = S = \dfrac{\: Distance \: traveled}{\: Time \: taken} = \dfrac{D}{T} \: \rm unit \: length/unit \: time[/tex]

A boat traveled 448 miles downstream and back.

The trip downstream took 14 hours. The trip back took 16 hours.

[tex]S = \dfrac{D}{T} \: \rm unit \: length/unit \: time[/tex]

Speed of downstream

448/ 14= 32

Speed of back stream

448 / 16= 28

B = Speed of boat in the water

Y = Speed of current

The system of equation

B + y = 32

B - y = 28

32 + 28 =60

60 / 2 = 30

So,

32 - 30 =2

B = 30  

Y = 2

Find the surface area of the figure below.

Answers

Answer:

261 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a square pyramid, you must first recognize all of the shapes.

There are four triangles and one square.

To find the area of a square, multiply the side by itself twice.To find the area of a triangle, multiply the base and the height, then multiply the product by 1/2.

The triangles have a base of 9 and a height of 10.

[tex]9*10=90[/tex]

Multiply the product by 1/2.

[tex]90*1/2 = 45[/tex]

There are four triangles.

[tex]45*4=180[/tex]

The area of all three triangles is 180 centimeters; the area of a single triangle is 45 centimeters.

There square has sides of 9 centimeters.

[tex]9*9=81[/tex]

The area of the square is 81 centimeters.

Lastly, we add the areas of the shapes.

[tex]45+45+45+45+81 = 261.[/tex]

Therefore, the surface area of this square prism is 261 cm².

You can use this layout to find the surface area of a square pyramid.
