Answer:

There are 10 different combinations

The list of different combinations is:

(10p, 1p), (10p, 50p), (10p, 2p), (10p, 20p), (1p, 50p), (1p, 2p),

(1p, 20p), (50p, 2p), (50p, 20p), (2p, 20p)

Explanation:

The possible combinations are:

1. Assuming the first coin is 10p:

(10p, 1p)
(10p, 50p)
(10p, 2p)
(10p, 20p)

2. Asuming the first coin is 1p

Do not count (1p, 10p) as it is the same combination as (10p, 1p)

(1p, 50p)
(1p, 2p)
(1p, 20p)

3. Assuming the first coin is 50p:

Do not count (50p, 10p) nor (50p, 1p) as they are the same combinations (10p, 50p) and (1p, 50p) counted earlier:

(50p, 2p)
(50p, 20p)

4. Assuming the first coin is 2p:

The only new combination is:

(2p, 20p)

5. All the combinations with 20p have already been listed.

Therefore:

There are 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10 different combinations

The list of different combinations is:

(10p, 1p), (10p, 50p), (10p, 2p), (10p, 20p), (1p, 50p), (1p, 2p),

(1p, 20p), (50p, 2p), (50p, 20p), (2p, 20p)

Mr. Abraham is 36 years old. His wife is 6 years younger than him and their son is 24 years old younger than his wife. What is t

sesenic [268]

Hi!
We know that Mr. Abraham’s wife is 6 years younger than him, which is 36-6, which means his wife is 30 years old.

We also know that Mr A’s son is 24 years younger than his wife, which is 30-24, which is 6.

As of right now, we now know that:
Mr. A is 36
Mr. A’s wife is 30
Mr. A’s son is 6

It’s asking for the ratio of Him:Wife:Son, so 36:30:6.

BUT, it’s asking for simplest form, so divide each of those numbers by 6.

Your answer is: 6:5:1

You and your neighbor attempt to use your cordless phones at the same time. Your phones independently select one of ten channels

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

1/100.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we can make the following deductions from the information given in the question or problem above.

[1]. "You and your neighbor attempt to use your cordless phones at the same time."

DEDUCTION: Two people are involved, that is you and your neighbor are both involved.

[2]. "Your phones independently select one of ten channels at random to connect to the base unit. "

DEDUCTION: Both cordless phones can choose one channels each which is random. The number of channels available is ten.

Therefore, the probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel can be calculated or determined as follows:

The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = probability that both your phone will pick one channel out of the ten channels × the probability that your neighbor phone pick one channel out of the ten channels.

The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = 1/10 × 1/10 = 1/100.

Therefore, The probability that both your phone and your neighbor phone pick the same channel = 1/100.

P(A|B)= P(B and A) / P(A)

P(B and A) = .3 + .10 = .13 P(A)= .3

So,
