Sue has 20 biscuits in a tin.
There are: 12 plain biscuits
5 chocolate biscuits
3 currant biscuits
Sue takes at random two biscuits from the tin.
Work out the probability that the two biscuits were not the same type.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:    111/380

=======================================================

Explanation:

Define the following three events:

A = plain biscuitB = chocolate biscuitC = currant biscuit

Notation like P(A) = 12/20 means the probability of event A (aka picking the plain biscuit) is 12/20 since there are 12 plain biscuits out of 20 total. I'll leave the fraction un-reduced so we can see where the 12 and 20 come from. Going from 12/20 to 3/5 has us lose vital information about the original values.

Notation like AB means a plain biscuit was selected first and then a chocolate biscuit is selected second in that exact order. I'm assuming the first selection is not replaced. This makes the probability of the second selection dependent on the first.

So,

P(AB) = P(A)*P(B given A) = (12/20)*(5/19) = 3/19

P(AC) = P(A)*P(C given A) = (12/20)*(3/19) = 9/95

P(BC) = P(B)*P(C given B) = (5/20)*(3/19) = 3/76

The last step is to add those results to get the probability of event AB, event BC or event AC of occurring. Addition is possible since the events are mutually exclusive.

P(AB)+P(AC)+P(BC) = 3/19 + 9/95 + 3/76 = 111/380

I've skipped a few steps, so let me know if you need to see the finer details. Also feel free to ask about any questions in general if they come up.

Based on the alternate exterior angle theorem, if m<1 = m<2, the statement which is true is that: B. n || m.

What are parallel lines?

Parallel lines can be defined as two (2) lines that are always the same (equal) distance apart and never meet.

What is the alternate exterior angle theorem?

The alternate exterior angle theorem states that when two (2) parallel lines are cut through by a transversal, the alternate exterior angles that are formed are congruent or angles of equal measure.

In this context, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the true statement which best proves that lines n and m are parallel is that angle 1 is congruent to angle 2 because by definition, all alternate exterior angles are congruent, if two (2) parallel lines are cut by a transversal.

x + 1 = 0 and x - 7 = 0x = - 1 and x = 7

Since the leading coefficient is positive, the graph opens up, so the interval between the x-intercepts is negative:

A punch recipe calls for one and 12 quarts of sparkling water and 3/4 of courts of grape juice how much of each ingredient would you need to make 75 quarts of punch sparkling water group juice

Answers

Answer:

a punch recipe calls for one and 12 quarts of sparkling water

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Sparkling water: 50 quarts

Grape Juice: 25 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

The punch recipe uses 1 1/2 quarts of water and 3/4 quarts of grape juice

That would make a total of

1 1/2 + 3/4 = 3/2 + 3/4 = 6/4 + 3/4 = 9/4 quarts of punch

Therefore to make 75 quarts, we have to figure out how many of 9/4 quarts would be needed.

This is 75 ÷9/4

Dividing by 9/4 is same as multiplying by 4/9

75 ÷9/4 = 75 x 4/9 = 300/9 = 100/3

So we will need 100/3 times as much of both ingredients

For sparkling water this would be

1 1/2 x 100/3 = 3/2 x 100/3 = 300/6 = 50 quarts

For grape juice we will need
3/4 x 100/3 = 300/12 = 25 quarts
(Or we can subtract 50 from 75 to get 25 quarts)

By using the fact that the two lines with the purple arrow are parallel, We can conclude that the angles are y = 133° and x = 47°

How to find the measures of angles x and y?

First,  notice that the two lines with the purple arrow are parallel lines, and these lines are intersected by the same line, then the 4 angles formed in the above line are the same ones than in the below line.

So, if the angle in the fourth quadrant of the above intersection is the same as the angle in the fourth quadrant of the below intersection, then we can see that:

y = 133°

And x + y should be equal to 180°, then:

133° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 133° = 47°

We can conclude that the angles are y = 133° and x = 47°

Two financial institutions offer different deals to new customers. The first bank offers an interest rate of 3% for the first year and 2 % for the next two years. The second bank offers an interest rate of 2.49 % for three years. You decide to invest the same amount of principal in each bank. To answer the following, assume you make no withdrawal or deposits during the three-year period.

b. Write a function that represents the total amount of money in the account in the second bank after three years.

Answers

Total amount of money in the account in the second bank after 3 years will be represented by the function: P[tex]e^{0.0747}[/tex].

The formula for calculating the amount (A) on a principal (P) invested at the rate of r%, compounded continuously after t years is-

A = P[tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

Here, we are given that there are 2 financial institutions-

1st financial institution:

interest rate =  3% for the first year

and interest rate for next two years = 2%

2nd Financial institution:

interest rate = 2.49% for three years

Let the principal amount deposited be P

We assume that the interest is compounded continuously.

Then for the 2nd bank-

Amount = P[tex]e^{rt}[/tex]

here, r = 2.49%

= 0.0249

Amount = P[tex]e^{0.0249 * 3}[/tex]

= P[tex]e^{0.0747}[/tex]

Thus, the total amount of money in the account in the second bank after 3 years will be given by the function- P[tex]e^{0.0747}[/tex].
