Answer:

BC:BN=8:3

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a trapezoid and there is a point m which belongs to AD such that AM:MD=3:5.Line "l" parallel to AB intersects the diagonal AC at p and BD at N.

Now, we know that the parallel lines divide the transversal into the segments with equal ratio, therefore, BN:NC=AM:MD

But, BC= BN+NC

Therefore, BC:BN=(BN+NC):BN

⇒BC:BN=(3+5):3

⇒BC:BN=8:3

7) CJ was painting his apartment. In 15 minutes,
igomit [66]

y = 12x represents the gallons of paint used in x hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

CJ uses 3 gallons of paint in 15 minutes,

15 minutes = 3 gallons

1 minutes = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5} \ gallons\\

1 hour = 60 minutes

Gallons of paint used in 1 hour;

1 hour = \frac{1}{5}*60=12\ gallons

CJ uses 12 gallons of paint in 1 hour.

For x hours = 12*x = 12x

Gallons of paints used = y

y = 12x represents the gallons of paint used in x hours.

Problem 2.2.4 Your Starburst candy has 12 pieces, three pieces of each of four flavors: berry, lemon, orange, and cherry, arrang
kkurt [141]

Answer:

a) P=0

b) P=0.164

c) P=0.145

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 pieces, with 3 of each of the 4 flavors.

You draw the first 4 pieces.

a) The probability of getting all of the same flavor is 0, because there are only 3 pieces of each flavor. Once you get the 3 of the same flavor, there are only the other flavors remaining.

b) The probability of all 4 being from different flavor can be calculated as the multiplication of 4 probabilities.

The first probability is for the first draw, and has a value of 1, as any flavor will be ok.

The second probability corresponds to drawing the second candy and getting a different flavor. There are 2 pieces of the flavor from draw 1, and 9 from the other flavors, so this probability is 9/(9+2)=9/11≈0.82.

The third probability is getting in the third draw a different flavor from the previos two draws. We have left 10 candys and 4 are from the flavor we already picked. Then the third probabilty is 6/10=0.6.

The fourth probability is getting the last flavor. There are 9 candies left and only 3 are of the flavor that hasn't been picked yet. Then, the probability is 3/9=0.33.

Then, the probabilty of picking the 4 from different flavors is:

P=1\cdot\dfrac{9}{11}\cdot\dfrac{6}{10}\cdot\dfrac{3}{9}=\dfrac{162}{990}\approx0.164

c) We can repeat the method for the previous probabilty.

The first draw has a probability of 1 because any flavor is ok.

In the second draw, we may get the same flavor, with probability 2/11, or we can get a second flavor with probability 9/11. These two branches are ok.

For the third draw, if we have gotten 2 of the same flavor (P=2/11), we have to get a different flavor (we can not have 3 of the same flavor). This happen with probability 9/10.

If we have gotten two diffente flavors, there are left 4 candies of the picked flavors in the remaining 10 candies, so we have a probabilty of 4/10.

For the fourth draw, independently of the three draws, there are only 2 candies left that satisfy the condition, so we have a probability of 2/9.

For the first path, where we pick 2 candies of the same flavor first and 2 candies of the same flavor last, we have two versions, one for each flavor, so we multiply this probability by a factor of 2.

We have then the probabilty as:

P=2\cdot\left(1\cdot\dfrac{2}{11}\right)\cdot\left(\dfrac{9}{10}\cdot\dfrac{2}{9}\right)+\left(1\cdot\dfrac{9}{11}\cdot\dfrac{4}{10}\cdot\dfrac{2}{9}\right)\\\\\\P=2\cdot\dfrac{36}{990}+\dfrac{72}{990}=\dfrac{144}{990}\approx0.145
