<span>3 of the 20 toothbrushes are defective, so the initial probability of selecting a defective toothbrush on the first try is 3/20. After that, there will be 2 defective toothbrushes in the remaining 19, so the probability of selecting one of those on the 2nd try will be 2/19. To get the probability of those two events happening sequentially, we multiply the two probabilities. Thus (3/20)*(2/19) = 6/380 = 0.0157, or about 1.6%.</span>

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

After 5 hours, the number of bacteria will be 1024

Step-by-step explanation:

1 times 4 = 4

4 times 4 = 16

16 times 4 = 64

64 times 4 = 256

256 times 4 = 1024

It will take around 5 hours to exceed 1000

PLS HELP ASAP PLEASE Heidi and Andrew designed two raised flower beds for their garden. Heidi's flower bed was 5 feet long by 3
Sidana [21]
First, find the area of both beds!
For Heidi: 5 x 3 = 15
For Andrew: 5 x (3 x 2) = 30 ft

Added together, the beds have an area of 45 feet. To place soil with a depth of 2 feet, simply multiply by 2. You can think of this as finding the volume of the beds, which is length x width x height, or area x height. The answer is 90 cubic feet!

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

or

m = \frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250
