This scenario involves combinations.

To find the total number of 2-item combinations, calculate (1000 choose 2)

The count for 2-defective combinations is (300 choose 2)

The probability = \frac{300 C 2}{1000 C 2} = 0.09

Betsy can clean a b of the house in an hour. How long will it take her to clean the whole house?
AnnZ [9117]
To determine the total time taken for house cleaning is necessary. Given that Betsy cleans a portion of the house, which takes her 1 hour, we want to find out how long it takes her to clean the entire house. By applying the unitary method, we see that if she cleans part of the house in 1 hour, we can calculate the time required for 1 whole house.

What is the maximum number of times two planes can intersect? What is the minimum number of times they can intersect?
Inessa [9023]
The least number of times that two planes can cross is zero, since parallel planes do not intersect. A good example would be a floor and a ceiling, which run parallel, hence they do not meet. Conversely, if two planes occupy the same space, they can intersect at infinitely many points, as could happen with a line within that plane.

Find the measure of x. Line PU has points R and S between points P and U, lines QR and ST are parallel, line QR intersects line
Leona [9281]

Response:

  • Solution for x is 1

Detailed explanation:

Line PU acts as a transversal intersecting parallel lines QR and ST

The angles PRQ and UST sum to 180 degrees

  • 15(x+2) = 180 - 135
  • 15x + 30 = 45
  • 15x = 15
  • x = 1

Lila needs a custom frame for a painting that her friend made for her. I’ve Been Framed is offering 50 percent off plus an addit
Leona [9281]

Answer:

The Framers provides the more affordable price, being $1.35 less expensive.

Step-by-step explanation:

I've Been Framed:

50% of $115 amounts to $57.5.

10% of $57.5 equals $5.75.

Subtracting gives $57.5 - $5.75 = $51.75.

Total: $51.75

The Framers:

30% off $120 results in $36.

After discount, $120 - $36 equals $84.

40% off $84 is $33.6.

Subtracting gives $84 - $33.6 = $50.4.

Price difference: $1.35

The line segments of a cube include edges, the diagonals of the faces, and the diagonals through the interior of the cube. Which
lawyer [9248]
The diagonal that crosses the interior of the cube is the longest segment. The hypotenuse corresponds to the longest side in a right triangle. In this case, the cube's diagonal serves as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being the diagonal of one of its faces and one of its edges. The edges are the shortest sections and function as the legs of a right triangle where the face's diagonal acts as the hypotenuse.
