An urn contains six chips, numbered 1 through 6. two are chosen at random and their numbers are added together. what is the probability that the resulting sum is equal to 5?

Answers

Answer 1

2/15 if drawn without replacement. 1/9 if drawn with replacement. Assuming that the chips are drawn without replacement, there are 6 * 5 different possibilities. And that's a low enough number to exhaustively enumerate them. So they are: 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 Of the above 30 possible draws, there are 4 that add up to 5. So the probability is 4/30 = 2/15 If the draw is done with replacement, then there are 36 possible draws. Once again, small enough to exhaustively list, they are: 1,1 : 1,2 : 1,3 : 1,4 : 1,5 : 1,6 2,1 : 2,2 : 2,3 : 2,4 : 2,5 : 2,6 3,1 : 3,2 : 3,3 : 3.4 : 3,5 : 3,6 4,1 : 4,2 : 4.3 : 4,4 : 4,5 : 4,6 5,1 : 5,2 : 5.3 : 5,4 : 5,5 : 5,6 6,1 : 6,2 : 6.3 : 6,4 : 6,5 : 6,6 And of the above 36 possibilities, exactly 4 add up to 5. So you have 4/36 = 1/9

Answer 2

Final answer:

The probability of drawing two chips from an urn numbered 1 through 6 such that their sum is 5 is 4/15, since there are four favourable outcomes (1,4), (2,3), (3,2), and (4,1) out of the total 15 possible combinations.

Explanation:

The question involves calculating the probability of drawing two chips from an urn, each numbered 1 through 6, such that their sum equals 5. To solve the problem, let's consider all possible combinations of two different chips that can be drawn at random:

(1, 4)(2, 3)(3, 2)(4, 1)

There are 4 favourable combinations that result in a sum of 5. As each chip can be drawn only once, the total number of pairs can be given by the combination formula C(n, k) = n! / (k!(n-k)!)), where n is the total number of chips and k is the number of chips drawn. In this case, C(6, 2) = 6! / (2!4!) = 15, and so there are 15 possible pairs that can be drawn from our urn.

Therefore, the probability of getting a sum of 5 is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes, which is 4 favourable combinations divided by 15 possible combinations, resulting in a probability of 4/15.

What is the side length b in the triangle below

Answers

12^2 +b^2 = 20^2 because of the Pythagorean theorem
144 + b^2 =400
B^2 =256
B=16

Answer:

Option B : 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached file

Given :

In ΔABC , AB = b , BC = 12 , AC= 20

To Find : value of b i.e. Length of AB

Solution:

Since we are given a right angles triangle so we can use Pythagoras theorem i.e.

[tex](Hypotenuse)^{2} =(Perpendicular)^{2} +(Base)^{2} [/tex] ---(a)

Now in a given triangle AB is Perpendicular , BC is Base and AC is Hypotenuse.

So, putting values in (a)

[tex](AC)^{2} =(AB)^{2} +(BC)^{2} [/tex]

[tex](20)^{2} =(b)^{2} +(12)^{2} [/tex]

[tex]400 =(AB)^{2} +144 [/tex]

[tex]400-144 =(b)^{2} [/tex]

[tex]256 =(b)^{2} [/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{256} =b[/tex]

[tex]16=b[/tex]

Thus the value of b is 6

Hence Option B is correct.

Mayumi is constructing a line through point P that is perpendicular to RS←→. A horizontal line segment R S and a point P are drawn. The point P is above the horizontal line segment R S. She places her compass on point P to construct an arc. What must be true about the width of the compass opening when Mayumi draws the arc? It must be greater than 12RS. It must be equal to PS . It must be wide enough so that the arc intersects RS←→ in two points. It must be equal to PR .

Answers

Width of the compass should be more than the smallest space between P and RS, so that it cuts RS at two distinct points. Therefore, it must be wide enough so that the arc intersects RS←→ in two points. The photo is attached so that you can understand it more.

21 is your answer

Hope this helped!

Answer:

The value of the function for f(-5) is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

[tex]f(x)=|2x-1|+10[/tex]

We need to find the value of the function for f(-5).

Substitute the value of x=-5 in the above function.

[tex]f(-5)=|2(-5)-1|+10[/tex]

[tex]f(-5)=|-10-1|+10[/tex]

[tex]f(-5)=|-11|+10[/tex]

The absolute value of -11 is 11.

[tex]f(-5)=11+10[/tex]

[tex]f(-5)=21[/tex]

Hence, the value of the function for f(-5) is 21.

Answers

Call the numbers x and y. According to the first sentence, xy = 44. You can rearrange to solve for y: y = 44/x. The sum of the numbers, s(x), is x + y, but we just found a way of expressing y in terms of x. Therefore: the sum expressed as a function of one of the numbers (x) is:

Hello,

Let's look at the equation: 3(x−7)=6(x−10). Let's distribute the 3 and 6 to the parenthesis. After you distribute, the equation should look like:
3x - 21 = 6x - 60. Then add 21 to both sides and that should leave you with
3x = 6x - 39. Let's then get 6x to the other side by subtracting 6x to both sides. That'll leave you with -3x = -39, then divide each side by -3 to get x by itself. The equation would now be: x = 13. Hope this helps =).

Answers

The answer is 1 because tree trunks grow wider because of cell divisions that occur only in the vascular and cork cambia (both located underneath the bark). Secondary xylem (wood) remains in place once it is formed. Therefore, the eggs will remain in their current position (1 inch out from the center).

the answer would be "1".

Answers

[ -4, 5 ]

notice the brackets, as opposed to parentheses.

the brackets mean, -4 is a bound and it is included in the range, and 5 is the other bound and 5 is also included in the range too.

so, whatever number "x" is, we know that is between -4 and 5, so it could be -3, -2, 1, 4 or such.

keeping in mind that, for the negative side of the numbers, the closer to 0, the greater the number, therefore, -4 is greater than -5 and is also greater than -1,000,000, because -4 is closer to 0 than those two.

so, "x" is greater than -4, and includes it, but is also less than 5, but it can be 5 too.

Transitive property: if 3x plus y equals 7 and 7 equals 5x minus 2y then

Answers

3x + y = 7
7 = 5x - 2y

THEN 3x + y = 5x - 2y ... it's like you're taking out the middle man "7"

Transitive property states that if x = y and y = z then x = z.

3x + y = 7 and 7 = 5x - 2y

Using the transitive property we get,

3x + y = 5x - 2y.

What is transitive property?

It states that if x, y and z are the three quantities, and if x is related to y by a rule, and y is related to z by the same rule, then we can say x is related to z by the same rule.

Example:

x + 1 = 2 and 2 = x + 9 then x + 1 = x + 9

We have,

3x + y = 7 and 7 = 5x - 2y

Using transitive property we can say that,

3x + y = 5x - 2y

Thus using the transitive property we have,

3x + y = 5x - 2y.
