Salesclerks at a store are giving away candles. There are 12 candles on a tray. Three are white and two are red. The rest are green or blue. When choosing a candle at random from the tray, a customer is as likely as not to select a green candle. What tis the likelihood that the customer will select a blue candle? Tell whether it is impossible, unlikely, equally likely as not or certain. Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

one blue candle. 1/12 probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

if they are as likely as not to select a green candle, then there are 6 green ones. so now we have accounted for 11 if I am right, so only one can be blue

Answer 2

It is equally likely as not that the customer will select a blue candle.

What is probability?

It is the chance of an event to occur from a total number of outcomes.

The formula for probability is given as:

Probability = Number of required events / Total number of outcomes.

Example:

The probability of getting a head in tossing a coin.

P(H) = 1/2

We have,

Let the number of green candles on the tray be G, and the number of blue candles be B.

We know that there are 12 candles in total on the tray, so:

G + B = 12 (total number of green and blue candles is 12)

G/(G+B) = 1/2 (as the probability of selecting a green candle is equal to the probability of selecting a non-green candle)

We can use these two equations to solve for G and B:

G + B = 12

G = (12 - B)

Substituting into the second equation:

(12 - B) / (12 - B + B) = 1/2

(12 - B) / 12 = 1/2

12 - B = 6

B = 6

So there are 6 blue candles on the tray.

Since there are 12 candles in total, and 6 of them are blue, the probability of selecting a blue candle at random is:

P(selecting blue) = B / (G + B) = 6 / 12 = 1/2

Therefore,

It is equally likely as not that the customer will select a blue candle.

This means that the probability of selecting a blue candle is 50-50, which is neither impossible nor certain, but rather equally likely as selecting a green candle.

Ethen is ‘x’ years old. Raj is 8 years older than Ethen. Find the sum of their ages in 6 years time.

Answers

Answer:

2x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Age of Ethen = x

If Raj is 8 years older than Ethen, then;

Raj = x + 8

6 years time

Ethen age = x+ 6

Raj = x+8+6 = x+14

Sum of ages in 6 years time = x+6+x+14

Sum of ages in 6 years time = 2x + 20

Hence the required sum of ages is 2x+20

A plane flies 1.6 hours at 150 mph on a bearing of 10°. It then turns and flies 9.1 hours at the same speed on a
bearing of 100°. How far is the plane from its starting point?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1386 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The plane flies ...

  (150 mi/h)(1.6 h) = 240 mi

on its first leg. Then it flies ...

  (150 mi/h)(9.1 h) = 1365 mi

on the second leg. The flight directions differ by 90°, so the distance from the starting point can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  c² = 240² +1395² = 1920825

  c = √1920825 ≈ 1385.94

The plane is about 1386 miles from its starting point.

A shopkeeper buys a stove from a manufacturer for $100.The selling price if he makes a profit of 15%

Answers

Answer:Selling Price = $115

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price = Cost price + Profit

Cost price = $100

Profit = 15% = 15%  x 100 = $15

Selling Price = $100 + $15= $115

OR

Selling Price  =  Cost price + Profit

Selling Price =$100 + (15% of $100)

Selling Price = $100+ $15

= $115.

∠QSR = 78°∠SQR = 51°

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an inscribed angle (QTR) is half the measure of the arc it intercepts. The measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the central angle it intercepts. So, we have ...

  ∠QSR = 2×∠QTR

  ∠QSR = 2×39°

  ∠QSR = 78°

__

Sides SQ and SR are radii of circle S, so are the same length. That means triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle and the base angles SQR and SRQ are congruent. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°, so we have ...

  ∠QSR + 2(∠SQR) = 180°

  78° + 2(∠SQR) = 180° . . . . fill in the value we know

  2(∠SQR) = 102° . . . . . . . . . subtract 78°

Multiply each equation by a constant that would help to eliminate the y terms.
2x-5y = -21
3x-3y = -18
What are the resulting equations?
6x-15y = -63
- 15x+15y = 90
6x-15y = 63
-15x+15y = 90
6x-15y=-63
- 15x+ 15y = -90

Answers

6x-15y=-63
-15x+15y=90

This is because you are multiplying the first equation by a constant of 3 and the second equation by 5 so that you can have -15y and +15y which will cancel each other out.

Answer:

a k (proportionality constant) = 2.5

b. r = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to solve a variation

m = k * r^3

160 = k * 4^3

160 = 64k

k = 160/64

k = 2.5

540 = 2.5 * r^3

r^3 = 216

Equation: ______________
p=88 minutes
p=70 minutes
p=40 minutes
p=30 minutes

Answers

Answer:

The equation is;

p + 90 = 120 minutes

Danielle’s drive from work to the park took 30 minutes ( p = 30 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write and solve an equation

Here, we want to get the time taken by Daniele from the park to work

From the question, the total commute is two hours

since 1 hour is 60 minutes, it follows that 2 hours is 120 minutes

Now, if we added the time taken to commute both journeys, we have the total as 2 hours

This means;

p + 90 = 120 minutes

p = 120 - 90

p = 30 minutes
