1/8 why? because 1/2 for the first head. times 1/2 for the second head. times 1/2 for the third head
Equation of a line:
m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)
You have:
so you are missing the m and the c.
To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12,
<u>7</u>) and (0, <u>
1</u>)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (<u>
12</u>, 7) and (<u>
0</u>, 1)- This gives:
To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:
When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:
Answer:
x=-8
Step-by-step explanation:
collect like terms
-5x=40
divide both sides of the equation by -5
so the answer would be x=-8
Given:
The expression is .
To find:
The position of parentheses inserted in the expression to get the value 19
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
Now,
There are more ways to apply the parenthesis, but we do not get 19.
And many more possibilities.
Therefore, the expression after inserting the parentheses is .
<span>3 of the 20 toothbrushes are defective, so the initial probability of selecting a defective toothbrush on the first try is 3/20. After that, there will be 2 defective toothbrushes in the remaining 19, so the probability of selecting one of those on the 2nd try will be 2/19. To get the probability of those two events happening sequentially, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380 = 0.0157, or about 1.6%.</span>
