Conditional probability formula is:P ( A and B ) = P ( A ) · P ( B / A )0.46 = P ( A ) · 0.31P ( A ) = 0.46 : 0.31P ( A ) = 1.48And this is impossible because 0 ≤ P ( A ) ≤ 1The student obviously made a mistake.

sarah has a solid wooden cube with a length of 4/5 centimeter. from eaxh of its 8 corners, she cuts out a smaller cube with a le
faltersainse [42]
First, calculate for the volume of the cube before each edges are cut.
                                    V = e³
where e is the length of each sides. Substituting the known value,
                                   V = (4/5 cm)³ = 0.512 cm³

Then, calculate for the volume of each of the small cubes cut out from the corners.
                                   V = (1/5 cm)³ = 0.008 cm³
Since there are 8 of these small cube, we multiply the volume by 8.
                                       8V = 8(0.008 cm³) = 0.064 cm³

Then, subtracting the volumes will give us an answer of <em>0.448 cm³</em>

One of the factors of the polynomial x3 − 5x2 is x + 3. What is the other factor?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

C. x² − 8x + 24 − 72/(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached picture for long division method.

Logically, we know x³ − 5x² factors to x² (x − 5).  Since x + 3 isn't a factor, we know the remainder isn't 0.  So we can narrow the options down to A or C.

One way to find the remainder is through long division.  Or, since this is multiple choice, we multiply the options by x + 3 and see which one results in an answer of x³ − 5x².

(x + 3) (x² − 8x + 24 − 72/(x+3))

(x + 3) (x² − 8x + 24) − 72

x³ − 8x² + 24x + 3x² − 24x + 72 − 72

x³ − 5x²

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is
anzhelika [568]
You need to solve for one variable in equation 1 and substitute it in equation 2 to solve.

Equation 1: x+y=24
x= number of 3 pt questions
y= number of 5 pt questions
24= Total number of questions

Equation 2: 3x+5y=100
100= Total point value possible on test
3x= point value of 3 pt questions
5y= point value of 5 pt questions

x+y=24
Subtract y from both sides
x=24-y

Substitute in equation 2:
3x+5y=100
3(24-y) +5y=100
72-3y+5y=100
72+2y=100
Subtract 72 from both sides
2y=28
Divide both sides by 2
y=14

Substitute y=14 back in to solve for x:
3x+5y=100
3x+5(14)=100
3x+70=100
Subtract 70 from both sides
3x=30
Divide both sides by 3
x=10

So there are 10 three point questions
There are 14 five point questions.

Hope this helped! :)
