In a bag there are pink buttons, yellow buttons and blue buttons.
There are five times as many pink buttons as yellow buttons.
number of yellow buttons : number of blue buttons = 4 : 7

One button is selected at random.
Work out the probability that the button is either pink or blue.
Give your answer as a fraction in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

27/31

Step-by-step explanation:

5pink : 1yellow

4yellow : 7blue

times the first ratio by 4 so that the yellows are equal (if that makes sense)  

20pink : 4yellow : 7blue = 31 buttons

so the total is 31 buttons alltogether

and the pink and blue buttons together = 27 buttons

so 27/31 is the probability the button is pink or blue

Ajay is going to invest his money into 2 different stocks. Both stocks are independent, and each stock has a 50%
chance of being successful and a 50% chance of failing.
Each stock will make Ajay $500 if it succeeds or lose him $500 if it fails.
If X is a random variable that represents Ajay's profit from investing in these 2 stocks, drag the bars to graph
the probability distribution for all possible values of X.

Answers

The bar graph represents the value of Profit (X) for the different probabilities of stocks x and y.

It can be drawn as follows.

Let x and y denote the two stocks .

The probability of success of x is p=50%= 50/100=1/2 = 0.5

The probability of failure of x is q= 50%= 50/100= 1/2= 0.5

Similarly

The probability of success of y is p=50%= 50/100=1/2 = 0.5

The probability of failure of y is q= 50%= 50/100= 1/2= 0.5

Then their joint distribution can be calculated from the following table.

        x              0.5               0.5               h(y)

y

0.5                  0.25            0.25              0.5

0.5                  0.25             0.25             0.5

g(x)                 0.5                 0.5               1.0

It is evident from the data that x and y have the same probability at each point  when both x and y are at

successfailuresuccess and failurefailure and success

But the random variable X will have different values for

both success  = $500+ $500= $ 1000 both failure  = -$500+ -$500= $- 1000success and failure = $500+ $-500= $0failure and success = $-500+ $500= $ 0

Jamar drove 228 miles and used 6 gallons of gas.
a) How many miles/gallon did he get on the trip?

b) On another trip, he used 9 gallons of gas. How far did he travel?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

well, it is kind of written already :

228 miles and 6 gallons.

so, miles/gallon = 228/6 = 38 miles/gallon.

b)

it is not mentioned, but I guess we have to assume that he got the same miles/gallon ratio on this trip as well.

so, again

38 miles/gallon

and he used 9 gallons.

so, he drove 38×9 = 342 miles

answer

Answers

From the information given, the time taken for the rock to hit the ground will be 3.326 seconds.

From the information given, the formula for the height is given as:

h(t) = -16t² + v + h0

where,

h0 = 177

h(t) = 0

We'll put the values back into the formula. This will be:

h(t) = 16t² + v + h0

0 = -16t² + 177

16t² = 177

t² = 177/16

t = 3.326

Therefore, the time taken will be 3.326 seconds.

the ps/ms soccor team purchased uniforms and equipment for a total cost of 692. the equiptment cost 422 and the uniforms cost 30 each. how many unifroms were ordered

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 9 uniforms.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up the equation like this

Total Cost = Total Cost of Equipment + Total Cost of Uniforms

So the equation would be:

692 = 422 + 30 * (# of Uniforms)

So minus both sides by 422 and you get

692-422 = 30 * (# of Uniforms)

270 = 30 * (# of Uniforms)

Then divide both sides by 30 and you get

9 = # of Uniforms

So therefore, the answer is 9 Uniforms

the sum of the angles of triangles is 180°

135°+x=180°

135°-135°+x=180°-135°

x°=45

B

make me brainiest

To solve this question, we have to know some rules

-All tringles' angles must add up to 180 digress

-If the triangles angles do not add up to 180 then the triangles are not a triangle (Just a little reminder if you get asked on it)

Now the steps are easy.

Since you know that all triangles' angles must add up to 180 the formula to find one missing angle is

(Angle number one) + (Angles number two) - 180

If we apply it to the triangle here, it would be

180-(60+75)

Let's solve it slowly

P.E.M.D.A.S

60+75 is 135

180-135=45

Therefore, the answer is 45 or B
