Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why?
Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible.
No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible.
Yes. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible.
No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is not possible.


(b) Find P(yellow candy or red candy).

Are these outcomes mutually exclusive? Why?

Since the Σ( of all colors )= 100%,  OR 1, then:

a) P(GREEN ∪ BLUEU) = P(G) + P(BL) = 8%+6% = 14% or 0.14

Since we have to choose ONE candy and only ONE candy at random, then tey are mutually exclusive: No. Choosing a green and blue M&M is possible

b) P(YELLOW ∪ RED) = P(Y) + P(R) = 18%+18% = 36% or 0.36
SAME ANSWER AS BEFORE: mutually exclusive

c) P(NOT PURPLE), Let's calculate 1st, the probability of having a PURPLE:
P(PURPLE) = 21% or 0.21
And the Probability of NOT having a PURPLE is 1-0.21 = 0.79

Find FL if H is the circumcenter of EFG,
Zanzabum

The artistic crop isn't helpful; it cuts off some vertex names.

The circumcenter H is the meet of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides, helpfully drawn.  We have right triangle ELH, right angle L, so

EH² = HL² + EL²

EL = √(EH² - HL²) = √(5.06²-2.74²) ≈ 4.2539393507665339

Since HL is a perpendicular bisector of EF, we get congruent segments FL=EL.

Emily an her dad share the cost of the meal in the ratio 2:3 emily’s Dad pays £52.20 what is the total cost of the meal
rodikova [14]

£87.00

Emily's dad pays 3 parts of the meal

Divide £52.20 by 3 to find one part of the ratio

\frac{52.20}{3} = £17.40 ← 1 part of the ratio

2 parts = 2 × £17.40 = £34.80 ← Emily's share

total cost = £52.20 + £34.80 = £87.00

Helena uses a mixture of compost and topsoil in her garden. She purchased a total of 10 cubic yards of compost and topsoil for $
Annette [7]

Let C be the amount of compost

T be the amount of  topsoil

Each compost cost = $25

Cost of C compost = 25C

Each topsoil cost = $15

Cost of T topsoil = 15T

Amount of compost + amount of topsoil = 10

C + T = 10 -------> Equation 1

cost of C compost + cost of T topsoil = 180

25C + 15T = 180 --------> equation 2

Solve  the first equation for C

C + T = 10

C = 10 - T

Now plug it in second equation

25C + 15T = 180

25 ( 10 - T) +15T = 180

250 - 25T + 15T = 180 (combine like terms)

250 - 10 T = 180 (Subtract 250 on both sides)

-10T = 180 - 250

-10T = -70 ( divide by -10 on both sides)

T = 7

She purchased  7 cubic yards of topsoil .
