A department store is holding a drawing to give away free shopping sprees. There are 10 customers who have entered the drawing: 2 live in the town of Gaston, 3 live in Pike, and 5 live in Wells. Two winners will be selected at random. What is the probability that the first winner lives in Pike and the second lives in Wells? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

The probability that the first winner is from Pike and the second from Wells is 1/6, found by multiplying the individual probabilities of each event happening in sequence.

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability that the first winner comes from Pike and the second from Wells in a random drawing. With 10 customers in total, 3 from Pike and 5 from Wells, the probability of drawing a Pike resident first is 3/10. If that happens, one less customer is available, leaving 9, with 5 still from Wells.

So, the probability for the second draw is 5/9. Multiplying these probabilities gives the combined probability for both events happening in sequence. Therefore, the required probability is (3/10) * (5/9), which simplifies to 1/6.

Answer 2

The probability that both customers selected are Pike residents is [tex]{\frac{28}{153}}[/tex]

To find the probability that both customers selected are Pike residents, follow these steps:

1. Calculate the probability that the first customer is a Pike resident:

  - There are 18 customers in total.

  - There are 8 Pike residents.

  - So, the probability that the first customer is a Pike resident is:

  [tex]\[ \frac{8}{18} = \frac{4}{9} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the probability that the second customer is also a Pike resident, given that the first one was a Pike resident:

  - After selecting the first Pike resident, there are now 17 customers left.

  - There are now 7 Pike residents remaining.

  - So, the probability that the second customer is a Pike resident, given the first was a Pike resident, is:

  [tex]\[ \frac{7}{17} \][/tex]

3. Calculate the combined probability:

  - Since the selections are dependent events (one customer is selected after another without replacement), multiply the probabilities of each step:

  [tex]\[ \left( \frac{4}{9} \right) \times \left( \frac{7}{17} \right) \][/tex]

4. Simplify the multiplication:

  - Multiply the numerators: [tex]\(4 \times 7 = 28\)[/tex]

  - Multiply the denominators: [tex]\(9 \times 17 = 153\)[/tex]

  - So, the combined probability is:

    [tex]\[ \frac{28}{153} \][/tex]

gross income £12000 tax free allowance £6475 what is taxable amount @20%, tax payable,net income and weekly net amount how to work out?

Answers

We calculate for the taxable income by subtracting the tax free allowance from the gross income.

          Taxable income = Gross income - tax free allowanc
           Taxable income = (£12,000 - £6,475)
                                    = £5,525

Hence, the taxable income is equal to £5,525.

Net income: 
This would be equal to the gross income minus the amount of taxes to be paid.
 
                 Net income = Gross income - amount of tax to be paid

Sasha and Mona practiced swimming every day. They increased the number of minutes of swimming every week as described below: Sasha: Practiced swimming for 10 minutes every day in the first week, 20 minutes in the second week, 40 minutes in the third week, and 80 minutes in the fourth week. Mona: Practiced swimming for 10 minutes every day in the first week, 20 minutes in the second week, 30 minutes in the third week, and 40 minutes in the fourth week. Which statement best describes the methods used by Sasha and Mona to increase the time they practiced swimming?
Mona's method is linear because the number of minutes increased by an equal factor every week.
Sasha's method is exponential because it increases by an equal number every week.
Mona's method is exponential because it increases by a fixed factor, and Sasha's method is linear because it increases by a fixed number.
Sasha's method is exponential because it increases by a fixed factor, and Mona's method is linear because it increases by a fixed number.

Answers

Well it's going to be the last one. Sasha's time is being multiplied by two each week while Mona's is going up by ten each week.

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given statements we see the time of Sasha practice it increases by a fixed factor of '2' or we can say Sasha's time is multiplied by '2' every week.  

When we see the time of Mona's practice, it increases by 10 mins every week. hence there is a addition of a fixed number '10'.

so option D is correct which says Sasha's method is exponential because it increases by a fixed factor, and Mona's method is linear because it increases by a fixed number.

5x/5=160/5
x=32 pages per hour. As a result, there will be 32 pages per hour. Hope it help!
Answer:  "32 pages [per hour] " .
__________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________
Set up a ratio:
______________________________________________
2 ⅔ pages : 5 minute:: x pages: 1 hour ;  Solve for "x" ;

Rewrite as:
_______________________________________
(2 ⅔ pages) / 5 minutes = "x" pages/ 1 hour.

Cross-multiply ; and write as:

(5 minutes) ("x" pages) = (2 ⅔ pages) / 1 hour. ; 
________________________________________
Convert the "5 min"  to its values in units of "hour" ;
________________________________________
   5 min = ? hour ?
________________________________________
   5 min * ([tex] \frac{1 hour}{60 min} [/tex]  = ([tex] \frac{5}{60} [/tex] hr ;

([tex] \frac{5}{60} [/tex] hr  = [(5÷5)/(60÷5)] hr = (1/12) hr.
___________________________________________________
So we take our ratio, which is in the form of an equation, as follows:
___________________________________________________
                 (5 minutes) ("x" pages) = (2 ⅔ pages) * 1 hour.
___________________________________________________
       and rewrite — substituting "(1/12 hr)" in lieu of "(5 min)" — as follows:
___________________________________________________
      (1/12) * ("x" pages) = (2 ⅔ pages) * (1) ;  Solve for "x" ;
___________________________________________________
          Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by:  "(1/12 hr)"; or, more efficiently, multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "12 hr" ; since "dividing by "(1/12)" is the same as multiplying by "12" ;

(i.e. on the "left hand side" of the equation:

[ (1/12) x ] / (1/12) = x ;

  AND:  (1/12)x * 12  = (1x/12) * (12/1) = (12x/12) = x ; the same result.
            {or: (1/12)x * 12 = (x/12) * (12/1) = ?  ;  The "12's" cancel out to "1's" ;  
                        since: "12÷12 = 1" ;  and we have:
                                    " (x/1) * (1/1) = x * 1 = x ;  which is the same value.
_____________________________________________________
   to isolate "x" on one side of the equation:
_____________________________________________________
          So, as explained above, we multiply EACH SIDE of the equation by "12" ; as follows:
_____________________________________________________    
  [ (1/12 hr) * ("x") ]  * 12  =  (2 ⅔ pages) * (1) * (12)  ;
______________________________________________
Simplify:
______________________________________________
                  x = (2 ⅔ pages) * (12) ; 

                  x = (8/3) * (12/1) = ?

The "3" cancels to a "1" ; and the "12" cancels to a "4" ;
_____________________________________________
since: "12÷3 = 4" ;  and since:  "3÷3 = 1 ".
_____________________________________________
  So rewrite as:
_____________________________________________
              x = (8/1) * (4/1) = 8 * 4 = 32 pages.
_____________________________________________
Alternate:
_____________________________________________
     When we have:  x = (2 ⅔ pages) * (12) ; 

                 x = (8/3) * (12/1) = (8*12)/ (3*1) = 96/3 = 32 .
   
                 x = 32 pages.
_______________________________________________
Alternate:
_______________________________________________
     When we have:  x = (2 ⅔ pages) * (12) ; 

                 x = (8/3) * (12/1) = (8*12)/ (3*1) ;

                 x = (8*12)/ (3*1) ;
 __________________________________________________
We can cancel out the "12 in the numerator" and the "3" in the denominator, and replace with "4" and "1", respectively; and rewrite as:

                 x = (8*4) / (1*1) = (32/1) = 32.
  
                 x = 32  pages per hour.

What is the initial value of y=-2x-5

Answers

This problem can be solved easily. The equation states that y is a function of x. Since this is the case, then we can get the initial value of the function when x = 0. Therefore by substitution:

y = - 2 x -5

y = - 2 (0) – 5

y = -5                     (ANSWER)

Final answer:

The initial value of the equation y=-2x-5 is -5, which represents the y-intercept of the graph where it crosses the y-axis.

Explanation:

The initial value of the linear equation y=-2x-5 refers to the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. In this equation, when we set x to 0, y will be -5. This is because the initial value is the value of the function when it starts or when no other changes have been applied to x. It is the point where the graph of the equation crosses the y-axis.

Jackie's total number of coins is 204.. She has twice as many quarters as nickels and three times as many dimes as nickels.. How many of each coin does she have ??

Thank you so much :)

Answers

Call x the number of nickles that she has.

Then the number of quarters is twice x = 2x

And the number of dimes is three times x = 3x.

So, the total number of coins is x + 2x + 3x = 240

=> 6x = 240

=> x = 240 / 6

=> x = 40

=> Number of nickels = x = 40

Number of quarters = 2x = 80

Number of dimes = 3x = 120

Verification: 40 + 80 + 120 = 240

Answer: nickles 40, quarters 80, and dimes 120.

"EXPLAIN PLEASE" Which equation does the graph below represent

Firstly, the graph has a negative gradient (it plots down to the right side rather than up to the right side). This means that in terms of y, x must be negative (this cuts out two of the four options!) Next, you can just take a coordinate from the line, and match it to one of the equations! So take for example (1,-3). When x=1, y=-3(1). So, the answer is the third equation down!
