On Sarah's shelf are 6 mystery books,5 science books,4 history books, and 3 adventure books. What is the probability of NOT selecting a mystery book?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability of Sarah NOT selecting a mystery book  = 0.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability helps to show how likely an event will occur;

The probability an event will not occur can be obtained by subtracting the probability that the event will occur from 1.

We can take this route to solve this problem

The probability of picking an option from a broad list of alternatives can be calculated using the formula:

Probability = number of expected outcomes/ total number of options

For our problem, there are only 6 mystery books on the shelf. Hence, the number of expected outcomes is = 6. Sarah cannot pick any more than 6 mystery books, and any mystery book she picks will be from that lot.

The total number of options refers to the total number of books available to pick from; whether mystery, science history, and adventure.

We can get this by adding 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 18

Probability of Sarah selecting a mystery book = 6/18

Probability of Sarah NOT selecting a mystery book = 1 - (6/18) = 0.67

The zeros of a quadratic function are -7 and 3. Which of the following could be the function? Select all that apply.
A. F(x)=2x^2-8x-42
B. F(x)=5x^2+20x-105
C. F(x)=x^2+4x-21
D. F(x)=x^2-4x-21

Answers

The possible functions are

A. F(x)=2x^2-8x-42

B. F(x)=5x^2+20x-105

C. F(x)=x^2+4x-21

How to determine the possible equations?

The zeros are given as:

x = -7 and x = 3

Rewrite as:

x +7 = 0 and x - 3 = 0

Multiply both zeros

(x + 7) * (x - 3) = 0 * 0

Evaluate the product

x^2 + 7x - 3x - 21 = 0

Evaluate the like terms

x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0

Express as a function

f(x) = a(x^2 + 4x - 21)

Where a is a constant

Let a = 1, 2 and  5 (according to the values in the options)

f(x) = 1 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = x^2 + 4x - 21 --- option (c)

f(x) = 2 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = 2x^2 + 8x - 42 --- option (a)

f(x) = 5 * (x^2 + 4x - 21) = 5x^2 + 20x - 105 --- option (b)

Hence, the possible functions are (a), (b) and (c)

Actually Welcome to the concept of logarithms.

Since here the log is on both sides, we take antilog on both sides, so we get as,

==> 2-x = -5x - 18

==> -x + 5x = -18 -2

==> 4x = -20

==> x = -20/4

==> x = -5

hence, x = -5

Answers

Answer:

925 marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

AS Biraj had 20 less marks then the  40% pass mark must be 350+20 = 370.

370  is equivalent to 40%

So 100% = 100*370 / 40

= 925 marks.

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2.75x

have a great day

Answer:

B. y = 2.75x

Step-by-step explanation: Since Y represents the total cost that means that the total cost is how ever many cupcakes one were to buy. Since each cupcake is $2.75 and you are buying X amount of cupcakes, the total would be 2.75 ~multiply~ X. Thus, giving you your final answer of y=2.75x.

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 68 feet. The length
of the garden is 2 feet more than double the width. What is the
width of the garden?

Answers

Answer:

10 2/3 ft or approximately 10.67 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width = w

The length is L = 2w + 2.

The perimeter is:

P = 2(L + w)

P = 2(2w + 2 + w)

P = 2(3w + 2)

P = 6w + 4 = 68

6w = 64

w = 64/6

w = 32/3 = 10 2/3

Answer: 10 2/3 ft or approximately 10.67 ft

You want to take 12 shirts, but you can only fit 3 in your suitcase. How many different ways can you choose shirts to pack?

Answers

Answer:

220 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be gotten by using the formula of combination in statistics.

The formula for combination is given below

nCr = n! / r!(n - r)!, where

r = total number of object, and

n = number of objects we're choosing from

Applying this to the question we have

12C3 = 12! / 3!( 12 - 3)!

12C3 = 12! / 3! * 9!

12C3 = 220

Therefore, we can choose to pack the shirts in 220 different ways

Lisa, Kelly, and Maria have $56.70. If Lisa has $23.20 and Kelly has $15.05, which equation shows how much money, n, Maria has

Answers

Answer:

38.25+n=56.70

Step-by-step explanation:

23.20+15.05+n=56.70

38.25+n=56.70

Answer:

Maria has $18.45.

Explanation:

All three of them have $56.70 all together.

So you would want to add Lisa's amount with Kelly's amount to get how much they have together.

23.20 + 15.05 = 38.25

Then you take the amount of money Lisa and Kelly has together and subtract it from the total amount of money all three of them have together to get Maria's amount.

56.70 - 38.25 = 18.45

Maria has $18.45.

Check:

Add all three of there money amounts together and if you get $56.70 you got the right answer.

23.20 + 15.05 + 18.45 = 56.70
