There are 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles, with a total of 5 marbles in the bag.

When Jonathan chooses a marble, we are saying that he is choosing the marble randomly.

Let's make a fraction. We want to know the chance of picking one of the 2 red marbles among all 5 marbles.

Divide 2 by 5

2/5

That's already a simplified fraction. If you want to convert this into decimal and into percentage, you would get

2/5
= 0.4
= 40%

Those are all acceptable answers.
Have an awesome day! :)

Question 6 The mineral content of a particular brand of supplement pills is normally distributed with mean 490 mg and variance o
AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean 490 mg and variance of 400.

This means that \mu = 490, \sigma = \sqrt{400} = 20

What is the probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 500. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{500 - 490}{20}

Z = 0.5

Z = 0.5 has a p-value of 0.6915.

1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085

0.3085 = 30.85% probability that a randomly selected pill contains at least 500 mg of minerals

∠A and ∠B are complementary angles of right triangle ABC, cos A = 0.83, and cos B = 0.55. What is sin A + sin B?
sergiy2304 [10]
As the angles are complementary sin A = cos B and  sin B = cos A

so sin A + sin B =  0.55 + 0.83 =  1.38

At a particular restaurant, each onion ring has 45 calories and each slider has 325 calories. A combination meal with onion ring
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

There were 6 onion rings and 2 slider in the combination meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of onion rings and y be the number of slider.

Calories in one onion ring = 45 calories

Calories in one slider = 325 calories

Total number of calories = 920

Thus, we can write the equation:

45x + 325y = 920

There are 3 times as many onion rings as the sliders.

Thus, we can write the equation:

x = 3y

Solving the two equation by substitution method, we get,

45(3y) + 325y = 920\\460y = 920\\y = 2\\x = 3y = 3(2) = 6

Thus, there were 6 onion rings and 2 slider in the combination meal.

The measure of an angle is 62.9 What is the measure of a complementary angle?
Llana [10]
By definition, complementary angles are "two angles whose sum is equal to 90 degrees." This can be expressed using the following formula:

(Angle 1) + (Angle 2) = 90

Substitute any known values into the equation:

62.9 + (A2) = 90

Subtract 62.9 from both sides if the equation:

A2 = 27.1

The measure of the complementary angle (A2) is 27.1 degrees.

I hope this helps!

What is made up of quantities and the operations performed on them
Schach [20]
Algebra is made up of quantities and the operations performed on them are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. 
<span>Algebra is a branch of mathematics. It concerns itself with operations on sets of numbers or other elements. The sets of numbers and elements are represented by symbols. Algebra can be seen as a generalisation of arithmetic.  Letters are substituted for numbers in Algebra. For example, x + 2x will always equal 3x no matter what values the symbol x represents. The algebraic can also include polynomial functions of one or more of the variables. </span>
