At a peace summit, seven Hatfield and nine McCoy family
members sit down for a meeting. If the Sheriff orders two
randomly selected participants to shake hands at the end of
the meeting, what is the probability that the two are from
different families?
Answer:
0.525 = 52.5% probability that the two are from different families.
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this problem, the order in which the two participants are selected is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
Desired outcomes:
1 from the Harfield family(from a set of 7).
1 from the McCoy family(from a set of 9). So
[tex]D = C_{7,1}*C_{9,1} = \frac{7!}{1!6!}*\frac{9!}{1!8!} = 7*9 = 63[/tex]
Total outcomes:
2 from a set of 16. So
[tex]T = C_{16,2} = \frac{16!}{2!14!} = 120[/tex]
Probability:
[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{63}{120} = 0.525[/tex]
0.525 = 52.5% probability that the two are from different families.
Weight of three books are 23⁄4 kg, 35⁄6 kg and 23⁄8 kg. Find the total weight of all the three books.
Answer:
12.54kg
Step-by-step explanation:
(23/4 + 35/6 + 23/8)kg
[tex] = \frac{(23 \times 6) + (35 \times 4) + (23 \times 3)}{24} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{92 + 140 + 69}{24} [/tex]
= 301/24
= 12.54kg

In 42 of the 64 years from 1950 through 2014,the S& P 500 finished higher after the first five days of trading (in 2011 there was virtually no change). In 37 out of 42 years, the S&P 500 finished higher for the year. Is a good first week a good omen for the upcoming year? The following table gives the first-week and annual performance over this 64-year period.
S&P 500's Annual Performance
First week Higher Lower Total
Higher 37 5 42
Lower 11 11 22
Total 48 16 64
a) If a year is selected at random,
what is the probability that the S&P 500 finished lower for the year?
b) Given that the S&P finished lower after the first five days of trading,
what is the probability that it finished lower for the year?
c) Are the two events "first week performance" and "annual performance"
independent or dependent? Explain why.

Dennis buys 32 inches of trim for a craft project. What fraction of a yard does Dennis buy?
Answer:
crrfhjgbnjjjhhbnmlpoutdxcjkougfsweee
Answer:
8/9 OR 32/36, depending on whether or not you need it simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know one yard has 36 inches. Since Dennis buys 32, we'll simply put that over 36 to find our fraction. You'll then get 32/36, and the most simplified form of that is 8/9.

If the base of a rectangle is 27.4 mm and the area is 420.92 mm2 what is the height of the rectangle?
Answer:
15.36mm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle can be defined as B x H or L x H,
In your case, I'm assuming you meant base as length, so just plug into the equation:
L x H = 420.92mm2
27.4 x H = 420.92
H = 15.36
If you want to be exact, it is 15.3620438
The required height of the rectangle is 15.36 for the base of a rectangle is 27.4 mm and the area is 420.92 mm2.
The base of a rectangle is 27.4 mm.
The area is 420.92 mm2.
What is the height of the rectangle is to be determined.
The rectangle is 4 sided geometric shape whose opposites are equal in lengths and all angles are about 90°. Beside of square its pair of opposide sides are named as length and width sometimes base and height according to the mentions.
The area of a rectangle is a product of is two adjacent sides i.e. length * width
Area of the rectangle = height * base
420.92 = 27.4 * height
height = 420.92/27.4
height = 15.36
Thus, the required height of the rectangle is 15.36 for the base of a rectangle is 27.4 mm and the area is 420.92 mm2.

Christie's Auction sold a painting for
$24,500. It charges all buyers a 15%
premium of the final bid price. How much
did the bidder pay Christie's?
The price that bidder pays to Christie's is $2130.4.
What is percentage?A percentage is a value that indicates 100th part of any quantity.
A percentage can be converted into a fraction or a decimal by dividing it by 100.
And to convert a fraction or a decimal into percentage, they are multiplied by 100.
Given that,
The price for which painting is sold is $24,500.
The percentage of premium price of the final bid is 15%.
Suppose the price paid by the bidder be x.
Then, as per the question the following equation can be written for the price of painting,
x + 15% of x = 24500
=> x + (15/100)x = 24500
=> 115x/100 = 24500
=> x = (24500 × 100) ÷ 115
=> x = 2130.43
Hence, the amount paid to Christie's is $2130.4.

Addison sells plants. She sold 7 times as many as tomato plants as pepper plants, for a total of 64 plants sold. How many pepper plants did she sell? PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME THE ANSWER AHHHH
Answer:
8 pepper plants were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming [tex]x=[/tex] the number of pepper plants sold, she sold [tex]7x[/tex] tomato plants and [tex]x[/tex] pepper plants, and since tomato plants sold + pepper plants sold = 64, we can turn this into the equation [tex]7x+x=64[/tex]. To solve this first we combine like terms to get [tex]8x=64[/tex]. Cancel the 8 by dividing both sides by 8 and we get [tex]x=8[/tex], which is the number of pepper plants sold. (We could also multiply x by 7 to get the number of tomato plants sold, which is 56.) Hope this helps!

Solve for x and show work please!
Answer:
Every quadrilateral's 4 angles add up to 360 degrees.
The four angles would be 100° + 7x +37 + 100° + 7x +37 = 360°
200° + 14x + 74° = 360°
14x = 360° - 274
14x = 86
x = 6.1428571429
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x=43/7
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the properties of the inner angle of a parallelogram is that the two angles on the same side add up to 180°
100+(7x+37)=180
100+7x+37=180
137+7x=180
137+7x-137=180-137
7x=43
x=43/7≈6.14

Solve for q: 2q- 12 = -40
Answer:
q = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
2q - 12 = -40
Add 12 to both sides
2q - 12 + 12 = - 40 + 12
2q = - 28
Divide both sides by 2
2q/2 = -28/2
q = - 14
Gabby draws a line segment to connect points (2,1) and (7,4). She draws a second lien segment that is parallel to the first one by connecting the points at (2,3) and (7,6). If she wants to draw a third line segment parallel to the ones she has already drawn, what ordered pairs could she use?

Answer:
(2,5) and (7,8)
Step-by-step explanation:
Gabby has increased the y-coordinates by 2 units to get her first parallel line. She can do the same thing again to get the second parallel line.

Answer:
5x + 3y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the line 5x + 3y = 6 and are to find the equation of a new line that is parallel to this one and goes through (3, -1).
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the given line is determined by the coefficients 5 and 3 visible above. Therefore, the form of the equation of the new line is 5x + 3y = C, where we must determine the value of C.
Substitute 3 for x and -1 for y in 5x + 3y = C, obtaining: 5(3) + 3(-1) = C. Then 15 - 3 = 12 is the constant value, and the equation of the 'new line' is
5x + 3y = 12
