Answer:

\texttt{Probability of choosing two candies of the same color}=\frac{7}{22}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of choosing two candies of the same color = Probability of choosing 2 red candies + Probability of choosing 2 yellow candies + Probability of choosing 2 blue candies.

Number of total candies = 15+15+15 = 45

Number of red candies = 15

\texttt{Probability of choosing 2 red candies}=\frac{15}{45}\times \frac{14}{44}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{7}{22}=\frac{7}{66}

Number of yellow candies = 15

\texttt{Probability of choosing 2 yellow candies}=\frac{15}{45}\times \frac{14}{44}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{7}{22}=\frac{7}{66}

Number of blue candies = 15

\texttt{Probability of choosing 2 blue candies}=\frac{15}{45}\times \frac{14}{44}=\frac{1}{3}\times \frac{7}{22}=\frac{7}{66}

\texttt{Probability of choosing two candies of the same color}=\frac{7}{66}+\frac{7}{66}+\frac{7}{66}\\\\\texttt{Probability of choosing two candies of the same color}=\frac{7}{22}

Julie tried to use the law of syllogism to draw a conclusion based on the statements below. Explain why she is not able to do so
ira [324]

Answer:  The conditional statements are not in the correct form to make a conclusion using the law of syllogism. “If p, then q and if p, then r” cannot be used to draw a conclusion using the law of syllogism. The law of syllogism could be used if the hypothesis in the second statement was "if two pairs of congruent angles are formed."

Step-by-step explanation:

"If p, then q and if p, then r" cannot be used to draw a conclusion using the law of syllogism.

Neither of the conclusions of the conditional statements are the hypothesis of the other.

"If two pairs of congruent angles are formed" could be the hypothesis of the second statement.

** Both can be used to answer the question :)

Royce is folding a piece of paper to make an origami figure. Each time he folds the paper, the thickness of the paper is doubled
Alisiya [41]
The input value is the number of times you fold it. The input value is also known as the x-value. 
The output value is its thickness. The output value is the y-value.

When you don't fold it all, the thickness will remain the same, which is 2. The ordered pair would be (0, 2).

When you fold it once, the thickness will double from 2 to 4. The ordered pair would be (1,4).

When you fold it a second time, the thickness will double from 4 to 8. The ordered pair would be (2,8).

Fold it one more time, and the thickness will be 16. The ordered pair is (3,16)

Fold it the fourth time, and the thickness doubles. 16 x 2 = 32 The ordered pair is (4, 32)

Fold it the fifth time, and the thickness goes from 32 to 64. The ordered pair is (5,64)

The ordered pairs would be:
(0,2)
(1,4)
(2,8)
(3,16)
(4,32)
(5,64)
(6,128)
(7,256)
and so on :P

The question asks for 6 ordered pairs, so I bolded the first six.

Now, the equation for this would be y = 2^{(x+1)}

If we graph that, and we do the vertical line test, then we know this is a function.

It is a function because each x-value has a different y-value. There are no y-values that have the same x-values.

<span>I have attached the graph of that line.</span>

Peter mixes 4 1/2 cups of orange juice, 1 1/3 cups of ginger ale, and 6 1/3 cups of strawberry lemonade to make some punch. What
ella [17]
Just add them all:(FYI, I first converted all the mixed fraction to improper)
11/3+19/3= 30/3+9/2
Now take out the LCM,
60/6+27/6= 87/6
Hence, the total number of cups that peter makes is 87/6
