Captain Emily has a ship, the H.M.S Crimson Lynx. The ship is five furlongs from the dread pirate Umaima and her merciless band

of thieves. If her ship hasn't already been hit, Captain Emily has probability \dfrac{3}{5} 5 3 ​ start fraction, 3, divided by, 5, end fraction of hitting the pirate ship. If her ship has been hit, Captain Emily will always miss. If her ship hasn't already been hit, dread pirate Umaima has probability \dfrac{1}{7} 7 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 7, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Umaima will always miss. If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the pirate shoots first, what is the probability that the pirate misses the Captain's ship, but the Captain hits?

Answer:

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = 0.514

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the captain hits the pirate ship

The probability of the captain hitting the pirate ship, P(A) = 3/5

Let B be the event that the pirate hits the captain's ship

The probability of the pirate hitting the captain's ship P(B) = 1/7

The probability of the pirate missing the captain's ship, P'(B) = 1 - P(B)

P'(B) = 1 - 1/7 = 6/7

The probability that the pirate misses the captain's ship but the captain hits = P(A) * P(B) = 3/5 * 6/7

= 0.514

Which test point holds true for y − 2x ≤ 1?
CaHeK987 [17]
So in order to find the correct answer, we can just easily plug in the values to check which ordered pair matches the given inequality above. So based on my solutions, the correct answer would be the last pair. 
<span> y − 2x ≤ 1
0 - 2(5)</span> ≤ 1
0-10  ≤ 1
-10  ≤ 1
Hope this answer helps.

(p²qr + pq²r + pqr²)(-pq + qr - pr)<br>Please solve this problem as soon as possible.​
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

−p3q2r−p3qr2−p2q3r−p2q2r2−p2qr3+pq3r2+pq2r3

Step-by-step explanation:

(p2qr+pq2r+pqr2)((−p)(q)+qr+−pr)

(p2qr)((−p)(q))+(p2qr)(qr)+(p2qr)(−pr)+(pq2r)((−p)(q))+(pq2r)(qr)+(pq2r)(−pr)+(pqr2)((−p)(q))+(pqr2)(qr)+(pqr2)(−pr)

−p3q2r+p2q2r2−p3qr2−p2q3r+pq3r2−p2q2r2−p2q2r2+pq2r3−p2qr3

−p3q2r−p3qr2−p2q3r−p2q2r2−p2qr3+pq3r2+pq2r3

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m
Dovator [93]

Option a: \frac{m^{5} }{162n} is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } where m\neq 0, n\neq 0

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }

This equation can also be written as,

\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

\frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to \frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} } is \frac{m^{5} }{162n}

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
