Answer:

11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

there are 100 cards out of which there are 50 male and 50 female cards

M= male card F= female cards

P(M)= 50/100= 1/2

P(F)= 50/100= 1/2

Following are the combination in which we can obtain second Female card before Third Male card

FF, FMF, MFF,  MMFF, MFMF, FMMF

So, P(FF)= \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}= 1/4

P(FMF)=  \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}= 1/8

and P(MFF)= \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}= 1/8

P(MMFF)= \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}

=1/16

P(MFMF)= \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}

=1/16

P(FMMF)= \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}

=1/16

so the required probability is the sum of all these

=1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/16 + 1/16= 11/16

During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?
Novosadov [1.4K]
So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)

A tunnel is in the shape of a parabola. The maximum height is 50 m and it is 10 m wide at the base as shown below. What is the v
LiRa [457]
Refer to the figure shown below.

Because the maximum height of the parabola is 50 m, its equation is of the form
y = ax² + 50

This equation places the vertex at (0,50). The constant a should be negative for the vertex to be the maximum of y.

The base of the parabola is 10 m wide. Therefore the x-intercepts are (5,0) and (-5,0).
Set x=5 and y=0 to obtain
a(5²) + 50 = 0
25a = -50
a = -2

The equation of the parabola is
y = - 2x² + 50

At 2 m from the edge of the tunnel, x = 5 - 2 = 3 m.
Therefore the height of the tunnel (vertical clearance) at x = 3 m is
h = y(3)
   = -2(3²) + 50
   = - 18 + 50
   = 32 m

Answer: 32 m

Xy+(4(20))&gt;x-5y(2+9-7)
prohojiy [21]

I'll solve for y xy+(4(20))>x-5y(2+9-7) 

xy+4(20)>x-5y(2+9-7) 

xy+4(20)>x-5y(4) 

xy+4(20)>x-20y 

xy+80>x-20y 

xy+20y+80>x 

y(x+20)>-80+x 

y>(-80+x)/(x+20)
