A. 7/55
B. 14/33
C. 12/33
D. 1/6

Answers

Answer 1
P(GG)=(8/12)(7/11)

P(GG)=56/132

P(GG)=14/33
Answer 2

Answer:  The correct option is (B) [tex]\dfrac{14}{33}.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a family has 8 girls and 4 boys. A total of 2 children must be chosen to speak on the behalf of the family at a local benefit.

We are to find the probability that 2 girls and no boys are chosen.

Total number of children in the family = 8 + 4 =12.

Let S denote the sample space of choosing 2 children from the family of 12 children and A denote the event of choosing 2 girls and no boys.

Then, according to the given information, we have

[tex]n(S)=^{12}C_2=\dfrac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}=\dfrac{12\times11\times10!}{2\times1\times10!}=66,\\\\\\n(A)=^8C_2\times^4C_0=\dfrac{8!}{2!(8-2)!}\times1=\dfrac{8\times7\times6!}{2\times1\times6!}=28.[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of event A is given by

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\dfrac{28}{66}=\dfrac{14}{33}.[/tex]

Thus, the required probability is [tex]\dfrac{14}{33}.[/tex]

Option (B) is CORRECT.

Determine whether the expression is a polynomial. If it is a polynomial, state the degree of the polynomial.
x^3-9
a. yes, 3
b. yes, 1
c. yes, 2
d. no, it is not a polynomial

Answers

A. the degree of a polynomial is the value of the greatest exponent which in this case is 3

Final answer:

The expression x^3 - 9 is indeed a polynomial because it consists of a variable raised to a non-negative integer exponent and a constant. The highest power of the variable is 3, which makes the degree of the polynomial also 3.

Explanation:

To determine whether the expression x^3 - 9 is a polynomial and to state its degree, we need to look at the characteristics of polynomials. A polynomial is an expression that consists of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.

The expression in question, x^3 - 9, fits this definition because it involves a single variable x raised to a non-negative integer exponent (3), and a constant term (-9).

Next, to identify the degree of the polynomial, we look for the highest power of the variable in the expression. The highest power of x in x^3 - 9 is 3. Therefore, this expression is indeed a polynomial, and its degree is 3.

The correct answer to the question is: a. yes, 3.

The city is planning to install streetlights and wants five lights along a walkway of 60 yards. if there is a light at the beginning and at the end of the walkway and the lights are evenly spaced, what is the distance between each light

Answers

If you try to imagine a walkway has a total of 60 yards starting from the first streetlight down to the last streetlight. Knowing that there are a total of five streetlights all in all, that means there are only 3 left to space evenly between the first and the last streetlight. Consequently, there would be four spaces all in all. Please see the picture so that you would understand better.

That means there are 4 evenly spaced lengths measuring to x yards. Therefore,

x = 60/4 = 15 yards

The distance between each light is 15 yards.

The weights of bags of pet food are distributed normally about the mean, 50 lb. The standard deviation is 0.2 lb. In a group of 20 bags, about how many would you expect to be within one standard deviation from the mean?

Answers

Final answer:

Using the empirical rule for normal distributions, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean. Therefore, in a group of 20 bags of pet food with a normal distribution, about 14 bags are expected to be within one standard deviation from the mean.

Explanation:

The question involves the concept of a normal distribution in statistics, and specifically, how it applies to the weights of bags of pet food. Given that the bags have a mean weight of 50 lb and a standard deviation of 0.2 lb, we can use the empirical rule (68-95-99.7 rule) for normal distributions. This rule states that approximately 68% of the data in a normal distribution falls within one standard deviation of the mean.

In this scenario, we have a group of 20 bags of pet food. To find out how many bags we would expect to fall within one standard deviation from the mean, we would calculate 68% of 20:

Expected number of bags within one standard deviation = 0.68 × 20 = 13.6

Rounding to the nearest whole number, we can expect about 14 bags to fall within one standard deviation from the mean.

Amanda's penny bank is 23 full. After she removes 120 pennies, it is 12 full. How many pennies can Amanda's bank hold?

Answers

So if the bank was 2/3 full, and then after the pennies are removed it is 1/2 full, then the volume taken up by those removed pennies is the difference:
(2/3)-(1/2)=(4/6)-(3/6)=1/6

If there are 120 pennies in 1/6 of the bank's volume, then the total can be found by multiplying 120 by 6 (so that (1/6)*6=1 (the total volume))

120*6=720
You can fit 720 pennies in that bank

In this case, the original figure is the large triangle and the dilated figure is the smaller dashed triangle. As early as this stage, we can already set that the dilation is a reduction. We can now eliminate the last choice which says enlargement.

One way to know how much did the figure reduce is by finding the areas of the bigger and smaller triangle. The area of a triangle is equal to half of the product of the length of its base and its height.

Area of larger triangle= 0.5(6 units)(4 units) = 12 square units
Area of smaller triangle = 0.5(3 units)(2 units) = 3 square units.

The ratio of the areas would be 3/12 = 1/4. Therefore, the answer is the first choice.

Answers

Your answer would be letter D

Answer:

Correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to choose the option for which number produces a rational number when added to 0.6

A rational number is an algebraic term expressed as a fraction. The fraction can also be in decimals but only if the decimal places are not repeating or finite(infinite then repeating). If they aren't, then these are called irrational numbers.

Let's try each of the choices:

A. The term 0.5050050005... is irrational number. Now, when 0.6  is added to it, the sum would be irrational.

B. √2 is an irrational number because its exact value is 1.4142135.. Even if you add 0.3 to it, the answer would still be irrational

C. Obviously, π is an irrational number and addition of rational to irrational always results in irrational.

D. The term [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] is a rational number. Now, when 0.6 or [tex]\frac{6}{10}[/tex] is added to it, the sum would be [tex]\frac{92}{70}[/tex] This is a rational number.

Therefore, the answer is D.

sub and find b, the y int
1 = 1/2(0) + b
1 = b

so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 1

Answer:  The correct option is (B) [tex]y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+1.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given a line of best fit for a scatter plot in the figure.

We are to find the equation of the line of best fit in slope-intercept form.

We know that the slope-intercept form of a line is given by

[tex]y=mx+c,[/tex]

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

From the figure, we note that

the line passes through the points (0, 1) and (2, 2). So, the slope of the line will be

[tex]m=\dfrac{2-1}{2-0}\\\\\\\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{1}{2}.[/tex]

At x = 0, y = 1, so the y-intercept of the line, c = 1.

Therefore, the equation of the line will be

[tex]y=mx+c\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+1.[/tex]

Thus,  the equation of the line of best fit in slope-intercept form is

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+1.[/tex]

Write the complex number in the form a + bi. 5/2(cos 150° + i sin 150°)

Answers

It's actually this

Step-by-step explanation

(told it to convert to rectangular form)

The complex number 5/2(cos 150° + i sin 150°), in the form a + bi, can be written as -(5√3)/4 +i(5/4).

What are complex numbers?

Complex numbers are used to define imaginary numbers, that is, the square roots of negative numbers. √-1 is represented as i.

How to solve the question?

In the question, we are given a complex number 5/2(cos 150° + i sin 150°), and are asked to represent it in the form a + bi.

We know that complex numbers can be written in two forms, a + bi or r(cos θ + i sin θ).

The relation between these are:

r² = a² + b²,

a = r cos θ, b = r sin θ,

tan θ = b/a.

So, comparing 5/2(cos 150° + i sin 150°), to r(cos θ + i sin θ), we can say that r = 5/2, and θ = 150°.

Therefore, a = r cos θ = (5/2) cos 150° = (5/2) (-cos 30°) = -(5√3)/4

b = r sin θ = (5/2) sin 150° = (5/2) sin 30° = 5/4.

Therefore, the complex number 5/2(cos 150° + i sin 150°), in the form a + bi, can be written as -(5√3)/4 +i(5/4).

Glenn needs 20 minutes to clean his room. If his little sister Veronika pulls things out while he is cleaning, it takes 60 minutes for him to clean the room. How many minutes does it take for Veronika to pull everything out?

Answers

The rate of Glenn in finishing a job would be equivalent to:

Rate (G) = 1 job / 20 minutes

While the rate of Veronika is:

Rate (V) = 1 job / x                 ---> x is the unknown

Where 1 job for Glenn means completely cleaning his room while 1 job for Veronika means pulling out everything. Therefore the equation to use would be:

1 / 20 – 1 / x = 1 / 60

The rate of Veronika is subtracted from the rate of Glenn since Veronika is slowing Glenn down. Solving for x:

Multiply both sides by 60 x

(1 / 20 – 1 / x = 1 / 60) * 60 x

3 x – 60 = x

2 x = 60

x = 30

Therefore it takes 30 minutes for Veronika to pull everything out.

I will give you the simple version, if it takes 30 min for the brother to clean and the sister takes 20 minites to mess it up before he cleaned, then the sister messed the room up for 30 min because 30x2= 60.
