A) the probability it is brown would be 50%; the probability it is yellow or blue would be 35%; the probability it is not green is 95%; the probability it is striped is 0%.
B) the probability of all brown would be 12.5%; the probability that the third one is the first red one drawn is 8.1%; the probability that none are yellow is 61.4%; the probability that at least one is green is 14.3%.
Explanation:
A) The probability that it is brown is the percentage of brown we have. Brown is not listed, so we subtract what we are given from 100%:
100-(15+10+20+5) = 100-(50) = 50%. The probability that one drawn is yellow or blue would be the two percentages added together: 15+20 = 35%. The probability that it is not green would be the percentage of green subtracted from 100: 100-5=95%. Since there are no striped candies listed, the probability is 0%.
B) Since we have an infinite supply of candy, we will treat these as independent events. All 3 being brown is found by taking the probability that one is brown and multiplying it 3 times:
0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125 = 12.5%.
To find the probability that the first one that is red is the third one drawn, we take the probability that it is NOT red, 100-10 = 90% = 0.9, for the first two, and the probability that it IS red, 10% = 0.1, for the last:
0.9*0.9*0.1 = 0.081 = 8.1%.
The probability that none are yellow is found by raising the probability that the first one is not yellow, 100-15=85%=0.85, to the third power:
0.85^3 = 0.614 = 61.4%.
The probability that at least one is green is computed by subtracting 1-(probability of no green). We first find the probability that all three are NOT green:
0.95^3 = 0.857375
1-0.857375 = 0.143 = 14.3%.
I think you have to count 85 and go down like 85 86 87so the answer is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Bringing like terms on one side
2 + 7 - 5 = 2x - 4x
9 - 5 = - 2x
4 = - 2x
4/ - 2 = x
- 2 = x
Answer:
D: 6 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for a:
a + 7/6 = 8
Put each term in a + 7/6 over the common denominator 6: a + 7/6 = (6 a)/6 + 7/6:
(6 a)/6 + 7/6 = 8
(6 a)/6 + 7/6 = (6 a + 7)/6:
(6 a + 7)/6 = 8
Multiply both sides of (6 a + 7)/6 = 8 by 6:
(6 (6 a + 7))/6 = 6×8
(6 (6 a + 7))/6 = 6/6×(6 a + 7) = 6 a + 7:
6 a + 7 = 6×8
6×8 = 48:
6 a + 7 = 48
Subtract 7 from both sides:
6 a + (7 - 7) = 48 - 7
7 - 7 = 0:
6 a = 48 - 7
48 - 7 = 41:
6 a = 41
Divide both sides of 6 a = 41 by 6:
(6 a)/6 = 41/6
6/6 = 1:
Answer: a = 41/6 or a= 6 5/6
