The probability of the family having two dogs or two cats is 1/2 or 50%.
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,
The theoretical probability of the family having two dogs or two cats can be calculated as follows:
P(D) be the probability of having a dog
P(C) be the probability of having a cat.
Since the family has an equally likely chance of having a cat or a dog, we have:
P(D) = 1/2 and P(C) = 1/2
The probability of having 2 dogs is:
P(D) x P(D) = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
The probability of having 2 cats is:
P(C) x P(C) = (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4
The theoretical probability of the family having two dogs or two cats is:
P(2 dogs or 2 cats).
= P(2 dogs) + P(2 cats)
= 1/4 + 1/4
= 1/2
Thus,
The probability of the family having two dogs or two cats is 1/2 or 50%.

Step 1: 12 = -2(x - 4) - 8
Step 2: 12 = -2x - 8 - 8
Step 3: 12 = -2x - 16
Step 4: 28 = -2x
Step 5: 26 = x
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = -6 (correct answer)
mistakes were made in Step 2 and Step 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mistake is made in Step 2, application of the distributive property. This is often a source of error. Here, the error is in signs.
Step 1: 12 = -2(x -4) -8
Step 2: 12 = -2x +8 -8 . . . . . . the correct step 2
Step 3: 12 = -2x . . . . . . . . . . . like terms combined
Step 4: -6 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by -2

Check
12 = -2(-6 -4) -8 = -2(-10) -8 = 20 -8 = 12 . . . . answer checks OK
__
Comment on other mistake
In the original Step 5, -2 was divided on the right and added on the left. This is a violation of the properties of equality, so guarantees a wrong answer. The same operation must be performed on both sides of the equation.
An additional mistake was made in that the answer was not checked.
A spinner with 9 equal sections is numbered 1 through 9. The probability of spinning a 3 is 1/9. What is the probability of not spinning a 3? Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplest form, in the box.
Answer:
The probability of not spinning a 3 is [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of spinning a 3 is 1/9. What is the probability of not spinning a 3?
Spinning a 3 and not spinning a 3 are complementary events, which means that the sum of their probabilities is decimal 1. So
[tex]\frac{1}{9} + p = 1[/tex]
[tex]p = 1 - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{9}{9} - \frac{1}{9} = \frac{8}{9}[/tex]
The probability of not spinning a 3 is [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex]

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 4x−10y=404x−10y=40. Fully simplify your answer.
Answer:
[tex] - \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
4x -10y= 40
Let's rewrite this equation in the slope-intercept form (y= mx +c) so that we can obtain it's slope.
10y= 4x -40
Divide both side by 10:
[tex]y = \frac{2}{5} x - 4[/tex]
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
⅖(gradient of line)= -1
Gradient of perpendicular line
[tex] = - 1 \div \frac{2}{5} [/tex]
[tex] = - 1 \times \frac{5}{2} [/tex]

Here are the marks of a student in four exams.
65 80 76 69
The student takes a fifth exam.
His mean mark for the five exams is 70
Work out his mark in the fifth exam.
Answer:
61 marksStep-by-step explanation:
Given,
Marks of the four exams = 65, 80, 76, 68
Let the mark for the fifth exam be = x
Mean of the five exams = 70
Therefore,
By the problem,
[tex] = > \frac{65 + 80 + 76 + 68 + x}{5} = 70[/tex]
[tex] = > \frac{289 + x}{5} = 70[/tex]
=> 289 + x = 70 × 5
=> 289 + x = 350
=> x = 350 - 289
=> x = 61
Hence,
Marks of the fifth exam is 61 (Ans)

hey! can u help me with this?! 6 divided by 3/5 in fraction form!?!?!!?
Answer:
10/1
Step-by-step explanation:
You do
6÷ 3/5
Flip the 3/5 then multiply
6 ° 5/3
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 3
So 2•5
And that's 10
Ans is 10.
The numbers in 6 divided by 3/5 are labeled below:
6 = whole number
3 = numerator
5 = denominator
To make it a fraction form answer, you multiply the whole number by the denominator and make the result the new numerator. The old numerator becomes the new denominator:
6 x 5/3 = 30/3
Thus, the answer to 6 divided by 3/5 in fraction form is:
30/3
To make the answer to 6 divided by 3/5 in decimal form, you simply divide the numerator by the denominator from the fraction answer above:
30 / 3 = 10
The answer is rounded to the nearest two decimal points if necessary.
30/3 can be simplified to 10/1.
10/1 is an improper fraction and should be written as 10.
Terry uses a ladder that is 12 feet tall. To be safe the ladder must make an angle of elevation of between 70-85 degrees to be safe. If he places the ladder 3 feet from the wall, is it safe?
Answer:
It is safe
Step-by-step explanation:
Using trigonometry :
Cosθ = adjacent / hypotenus
Hypotenus = length of ladder = 12 feets
Adjacent = distance between ladder and wall = 3 feets
Cosθ = 3 /12
Cosθ = 0.25
θ = cos^-1(0.25)
θ = 75.522°
To be safe ladder must be between (70 - 85)°
Sijce ladder is at an elevation of 75.22° ; then it is safe.
Eric has 240 coins in his collection. 11\20 of his coins are pennies. 4\20 of the coins are nickels. The rest f the coins are quarters. How many of the coins are quarters? Explain how you got your answer.
Answer:Number of coins that are quarters =60
Step-by-step explanation:
Total coins in possession of Eric=240
Number of coins that are pennies=11\20 x 240= 132
Number of coins that are nickels=4\20 x 240= 48
Since the rest are quarters,
Number of coins that are quarters =Total coins in possession of Eric -( Number of coins that are pennies+ Number of coins that are nickels)
=240-(132+48)
=240-180
=60

unless there is a value for x then that is all i can do
hope this helps:)
Answer: 10x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x - 3) -(5-3x)
= (7x - 3) - 5 + 3x Made them without parentheses. For -(5-3x), because there are - in front them, which means to multiply -1, so it become -5+3x.
= 7x - 3 - 5 + 3x
= 7x + 3x - 3 - 5
= 10x - 8

Find the circumference and area of each circle to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for pi. 1.) radius = 1.7 2.) radius = 14 ft 3.) 9 in
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference of a circle = 2πr
Area of circle = πr²
Here, r = radius of the circle
1). For radius = 1.7 units
Circumference = 2π(1.7)
= 2(3.14)(1.7)
= 10.676
≈ 10.7 units
Area of the circle = π(1.7)²
= 3.14(1.7)²
= 9.0746
= 9.1 units²
2). For radius = 14 ft
Circumference of the circle = 2π(14)
= 28(3.14)
= 87.92
≈ 87.9 ft
Area of the circle = πr²
= 3.14(14)²
= 615.44
≈ 615.4 ft²
3). For radius = 9 in.
Circumference = 2π(9)
= 18π
= 56.52
≈ 56.5 in
Area of the circle = π(9)²
= 81π
= 254.34 in²
≈ 254.3 in²
