There are 3 types of sweets in a jar.
(look at attached for table).
a sweet is chosen at random.
the probability that it is an eclair is 1/15
work out the probability that it is a humbug.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of eclairs = 3

Number of humbugs =

Number of mints =

Therefore, total number of sweets in the jar is,

Now, probability of selecting a sweet to be humbug is given as:

Therefore, the probability that it is a humbug is .

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
