You could multiply 3•2 since that equals 6, and with 2\6 it makes the number smaller, resulting in 1/3. You then get 0.3333 repeating

Solution:

Therefore, the probability that the two coins drawn are of different denominations is:

                            2/3

Detailed explanation:

Let N represent nickel, D for dime, and Q for quarter.

When drawing two coins sequentially with replacement, the possible outcomes are:

         (N,N)     (N,D)      (N,Q)

         (D,N)     (D,D)      (D,Q)

         (Q,N)     (Q,D)      (Q,Q)  

This shows there are a total of  9 outcomes.

The favorable outcomes, where both coins are different denominations, total 6:

{ (N,D) (N,Q) (D,N) (D,Q) (Q,N) (Q,D) }

The probability for two coins being of different denominations is:

                             6/9=2/3

Which statements are true regarding undefinable terms in geometry? Select TWO options
PIT_PIT [9251]

Answer:

3) A line has one dimension, length. (True)

5) A plane is made up of an infinite collection of lines. (True)

Explanation:

Geometry has three undefined terms:

a) point

b) line

c) plane

Examining the given statements:

1) A point described as (x, y) has two dimensions — this is incorrect because a point has no dimensions.

2) A plane has clear start and end points — this is false as a plane extends infinitely without boundaries.

3) A line has exactly one dimension, which is its length. (True)

4) A point consists of countless lines — this is false; actually, a line consists of infinite points.

5) A plane consists of an unending set of lines. (True)

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

You should insert the provided x and y coordinates into the equations to determine which one satisfies both points.

D is valid for both:

An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players and withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Fin
Leona [9343]

Correct question:

An urn holds 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns withdrawing balls until a red one is chosen. Calculate the probability that A picks the red ball. (A goes first, followed by B, with no replacement of drawn balls).

Answer:

The likelihood that A picks the red ball is 58.33 %

Step-by-step explanation:

A will select the red ball if it is drawn 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th.

1st draw: 9C2

3rd draw: 7C2

5th draw: 5C2

7th draw: 3C2

Calculating for all possible scenarios gives us:

9C2 = (9!) / (7!2!) = 36

7C2 = (7!) / (5!2!) = 21

5C2 = (5!) / (3!2!) = 10

3C2 = (3!) / (2!) = 3

Adding these possibilities results in 36 + 21 + 10 + 3 = 70.

The total outcomes for selecting a red ball = 10C3

10C3 = (10!) / (7!3!)

= 120.

The probability that A selects the red ball is determined by dividing the sum of possible events by the overall outcomes.

P( A selects the red ball) = 70 / 120

= 0.5833

= 58.33 %

At a small coffee shop, the distribution of the number of seconds it takes for a cashier to process an order is approximately no
Leona [9343]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

A. 0.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the provided details;

The average time taken for a cashier to handle an order, μ = 276 seconds

The deviation from the average, σ = 38 seconds

The z-score for an order processing time of x = 240 seconds can be calculated as follows;

Z=\dfrac{x-\mu }{\sigma }

Thus;

Z=\dfrac{240-276 }{38 } \approx  -0.9474

The resulting probability

P(z = -0.9474) = 0.17361

Hence, the estimated proportion of orders processed in under 240 seconds is roughly 0.17361 or 0.17 when rounded to two decimal places.
