A ball will be drawn from a bag containing 20 balls numbered 1 through 20. If each ball is equally likely to be drawn, what is the probability that the number on the ball drawn will be even or less than 5?

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:  

There are 20 balls, numbered 1 through 20.

Of these, 10 are even, 4 are less than five, and 2 are both even and less than 5.

So the probability is:

P(even or <5) = P(even) + P(<5) − P(even and <5)

P(even or <5) = 10/20 + 4/20 − 2/20

P(even or <5) = 12/20

P(even or <5) = 3/5

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
