A bag contains 14 blue, 6 red, 12 green, and 8 purple buttons. 25 buttons are removed from the bag randomly. How many of the removed buttons were red if the chance of drawing a red button from the bag is now 1/3?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 button.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total buttons = 40

Total red buttons = 6

Total Buttons removed =25

Buttons left = 40–25 = 15

Let the red buttons left = x

1.)Then, the probability of red buttons after removing 25 buttons = x/15 outcome / Total outcome)

2.)Probability of red buttons in the bag after removing 25 buttons is 1/3 (As given in the question)

Comparing Statement 1.) & 2.) , We get

x/15 = 1/3

x = 5

So the red buttons left = 5

Total red buttons= 6

Red buttons removed = 6–5= 1

Hence, only 1 button was red in the 25 removed buttons

Answer 2

There is only one red button in the removed buttons if it has a chance of drawing a red button from the bag after removing 25 buttons from the bag with 14 blue, 6 red, 12 green, and 8 purple buttons is 1/3. This is obtained by equating the probability of getting red buttons from the bag after removing 25 buttons with the given probability of red buttons.

What is probability?

Probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event occurring.

Probability is given by the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes with respect to an event to the total number of possible outcomes.

[tex]p(A) = \frac{n(A)}{n(S)}[/tex]

p(A) is the probability of event A

n(A) is the number of outcomes with respect to A

n(S) is the total number of possible outcomes

Calculating the number of red buttons:

Given that a bag contains 14 blue, 6 red, 12 green, and 8 purple buttons.

So the total number of buttons in the bag = 40

It is given that 25 buttons are removed from the bag randomly

thus, the remaining buttons in the bag = 40 - 25 = 15

It is given that the probability of drawing a red button from the bag after removing 25 buttons is 1/3

So, for finding the number of red buttons in the bag after removing we can write,

n(A) = p(A) × n(S)

here, A is the event of drawing the number of red buttons and p(A) = 1/3 and  n(s) = 15 (after removing)

Thus, the number of red buttons in the bag after removing = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] × 15 = 5

So, the number of red buttons left in the bag = 5

then, the red buttons removed from the bag = 6 - 5 = 1

Therefore, only 1 red button is removed from the bag.

No, Louise is incorrect because using the order of pemdas I know that (5x3+3)2 is 36. I also know that (5x3)2+(3)2 is 36 using the order of pemdas. However the 3rd problem is 25x6+9 and using pemdas I know that this would equal 234 which is not equal to 36 therefore Louise is incorrect.

Answer:

SAMPLE RESPONSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Louise’s answer is not correct. She is missing the term 30x3. When squaring a binomial, it is best to write the product of the binomial times itself. Then you can use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial. Louise also could have used the formula for a perfect square trinomial, which is found by squaring a binomial.

The length of a rectangle is 3 m longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 26 m , find its area.

Answers

Answer:

40 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the perimeter. Using the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w, solve for the side lengths of the length and width.

Let w represent the width. The length can be represented by w + 3, since the length is 3 m longer than the width.

Plug in 26 as the perimeter, and plug in w and w + 3 for the width and length:

p = 2l + 2w

26 = 2(w + 3) + 2w

Simplify and solve for w:

26 = 2w + 6 + 2w

26 = 4w + 6

20 = 4w

5 = w

Find the length by adding 3 to this:

5 + 3

= 8

Now, find the area using the area formula, A = lw

Plug in the length and width:

A = lw

A = 8(5)

A = 40

So, the area of the rectangle is 40 m²

Guadrilateral whose vertices are A(-2-2),B(5-2),C(4-3) and D(-3,-3)what kind of a guadrilatetal is ABCD?

Answers

Answer:

The quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD are;

A(-2 -2), B(5, -2), C(4, -3)and D(-3, -3)

The slope of segment [tex]\overline {AB}[/tex] = (-2 - (-2))/(5 - (-2)) = 0

The length of segment [tex]\overline {AB}[/tex] = 5 - (-2) = 7 (points having the same y-coordinates)

The slope of segment [tex]\overline {AD}[/tex] = (-3 - (-2))/(-3 - (-2)) = 1

The length of segment [tex]\overline {AD}[/tex] = √((-3 - (-2))² + (-3 - (-2))²)  = √2

The slope of segment [tex]\overline {DC}[/tex] = (-3 - (-3))/(-3 - 4) = 0

The length of segment [tex]\overline {DC}[/tex] = 4 - (-3) = 7 (points having the same y-coordinates)

The slope of segment [tex]\overline {BC}[/tex] = (-3 - (-2))/(4 - 5) = 1

The length of segment [tex]\overline {AD}[/tex] = √((4 - 5)² + (-3 - (-2))²)  = √2

Therefore;

The opposite sites of the quadrilateral ABCD are equal; [tex]\overline {AB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline {DC}[/tex], [tex]\overline {AD}[/tex] = [tex]\overline {BC}[/tex]

Given that the slope of a line gives the inclination of the line on a graph, we have;

The opposite sites of the quadrilateral are parallel; [tex]\overline {AB}[/tex] ║ [tex]\overline {DC}[/tex], [tex]\overline {AD}[/tex] ║ [tex]\overline {BC}[/tex]

Therefore the quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram because the opposite sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are parallel.

Keiko is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Keiko is incorrect

When n is positive, 1^n will always be 1

but........ (-1)^n will not always be -1

This is because there are parenthesis around -1

So n is even, then it will be 1 not -1

For example, n = 4

You will do -1 * -1 * -1 * -1 which is 1 not -1

but if n = 3

You will do -1 * -1 * -1 which is -1

Therefore, the second statement is incorrect resulting in Keiko being wrong
