A certain club has 10 members, including Harry. One of the 10 members is to be chosen at random to be the president, one of the remaining 9 members is to be chosen at random to be the secretary, and one of the remaining 8 members is to be chosen at random to be the treasurer. What is the probability that Harry will be either the member chosen to be the secretary or the member chosen to be the treasurer

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability that Harry will be chosen as either as Secretary or as treasurer but not as president out of those 10 members will be [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 10 members out of which one is Harry, we need to choose one of the 10 members as President, one to be as secretary out of the remaining 9, one  as the treasurer of the remaining 8 members.

We want harry to be as either as secretary or as treasurer. so we will consider both the cases

Probability is given by = No of favorable outcomes/ Total no of outcomes

(1) Harry as secretary : If harry is to be chosen as secretary then he can't be a president or he cant be a Treasurer

  As president = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

  Not as president = [tex]1 - \frac{1}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Now he is selected for the secretary so he can't be selected as treasurer.

Not as treasurer = 1

Probability for chosen as secretary = [tex]\frac{9}{10}*\frac{1}{9}*1[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]  

(2) Harry as treasurer : If harry is to be chosen as the treasurer so he can't be chosen as a President or as a Secretary.

Probability for not chosen as president = [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Probability for not chosen as secretary =  [tex]1-\frac{1}{9} = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]

Probability to be chosen as treasurer = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Probability to be chosen as Treasurer = [tex]\frac{9}{10}*\frac{8}{9}*\frac{1}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex]

Total probability for Harry to be chosen as either secretary or as treasurer will be = P(Secretary) +P(Treasurer)

           = [tex]\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Therefore the probability that Harry will be chosen as either as Secretary or as treasurer but not as president out of those 10 members will be [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex].

Each of five, standard, six-sided dice is rolled once. What is the probability that there is at least one pair but not a three-of-a-kind (that is, there are two dice showing the same value, but no three dice show the same value)

Answers

Answer:

The probability that there is at least one pair but not a three of a kind is 0.6944.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the case when we have five dices and we roll them and we need  that there is at least one pair but not a three of a king which is Two dice showing the same value, but no three dice showing the value.

Total no of outcomes = [tex]6^5 = 7776[/tex]

We will consider the other cases and then subtract them from the total outcomes.

No of outcomes of 5 of a kind = 6

No of outcomes 4 of a kind and 1 different = (6*5)*5 = 150

No of outcomes with 3 of a kind and 1 different pairs = (6*1*1*5*1)*5C2= 300

No of outcomes with 3 of a kind and two different = 6*5*4*10= 120*10=1200

No of outcomes when all are different = 6! = 720

These all the cases when subtracted from the total will represent the total cases in which there are two dice showing the same value.

Total cases = 6+150+300+1200+720

                   = 2376

Required no of outcomes = 7776-2376 = 5400

Probability = [tex]\frac{5400}{7776}[/tex] = 0.6944

Therefore the probability for the case of at least one pair but not a three of a kind is 0.6944.

which pair of triangles can be proven congruent by the HL theorem?​

Answers

Answer:

the middle one because HL is hypotenuse-leg and the middle one is the one that has a congruent hypotenuse and a congruent leg

(HL theorem only works with a right triangle)

Step-by-step explanation:

The pair of triangles that can be proven congruent by the HL theorem is the triangles in the middle.

Calculations and Parameters

According to the HL Theorem:

A triangle would contain:

A hypotenuse-legCongruent hypotenuseCongruent leg.

Therefore, we can see that the pair of triangles in the middle of the diagram are congruent through the HL theorem as they satisfy the conditions.

Bottles of sparkling water usually cost $1.69 each. This week they are on sale for 4 for $5 You bought one last week and one this week. Did you pay more or less for the bottle this week?

Answers

Given:

Usual cost of a bottle of sparkling water = $1.69 each

This week they are on sale for 4 for $5.

To find:

Did you pay more or less for the bottle this week?

Solution:

We have,

Usual cost of 1 bottle = $1.69

On sale, cost of 4 bottles = $5

On sale, cost of 1 bottles = [tex]\dfrac{\$5}{4}[/tex]

                                         = $1.25

Since, $1.25 is less than $1.69, therefore the unit cost on sale is less than usual unit cost.

Hence, you pay less for the bottle this week.

x=(-y/3)

step two) plug in x for the other original problem.

y=x-4

y=(-y/3)-4

step three) solve for y.

y=(-y/3)-4

what is y equal to 2x + 4y = -18

Answers

Answer:    y = (-1/2)x - 9/2

Slope = -1/2

Y intercept = -9/2

=====================================================

Work Shown:

2x + 4y = -18

2(x+2y) = -18 .... factor out 2

x+2y = -18/2 .... divide both sides by 2

x+2y = -9

2y = -9-x .... subtract x from both sides

2y = -x-9

y = (-x-9)/2 ... divide both sides by 2

y = (-x/2) - (9/2) ... break up the fraction

y = (-1/2)x - 9/2

The last equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = -1/2 as the slope and b = -9/2 as the y intercept.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -18

2(x+2y) = -18 .... factor out 2

x+2y = -18/2 .... divide both sides by 2

x+2y = -9

2y = -9-x .... subtract x from both sides

2y = -x-9

y = (-x-9)/2 ... divide both sides by 2

y = (-x/2) - (9/2) ... break up the fraction

y = (-1/2)x - 9/2

The last equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b with m = -1/2 as the slope and b = -9/2 as the y intercept.
