Answer:
the probability is 2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).
p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5
Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.
The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:
p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.
p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9
Answer:
3 bags per weekday
Step-by-step explanation:
Total bags of leaves at the end of the week = 26 bags
Bags of leaves she fills over the weekend = 11 bags
Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays = x bags
Total bags of leaves at the end of the week = Bags of leaves she fills over the weekend + Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays
26 = 11 + x
Subtract 11 from both sides
26 - 11 = 11 - 11 + x
15 = x
x = 15 bags
If she fills the same number of bags with leaves on each of the 5 weekdays.
how many bags she filled each weekday.
Bags she filled each weekday = Total Bags of leaves she fills during weekdays / 5 weekdays
= 15 bags / 5 weekdays
= 3 bags per weekday
