A city council consists of eight Democrats and eight Republicans. If a committee of six people is selected, find the probability of selecting three Democrats and three Republicans

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

39.16% probability of selecting three Democrats and three Republicans

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question, the order in which the people are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

Desired outcomes:

3 Democrats, from a set of 8.

3 Republicans, from a set of 8.

[tex]D = C_{8,3}*C_{8,3} = (C_{8,3})^{2} = (\frac{8!}{3!5!})^{2} = 56^2 = 3136[/tex]

Total outcomes:

6 people from a set of 16.

[tex]T = \frac{16!}{6!10!} = 8008[/tex]

Probability:

[tex]p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{3136}{8008} = 0.3916[/tex]

39.16% probability of selecting three Democrats and three Republicans

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number be x and smaller number be y

according to this question

x=y+33----------(1)

y+33+5y=129----------(2)

6y+33=129

y=16

x=16+33(takimg equation (1)

x=49

Answer:

Larger number: 49.

Smaller number: 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the larger number is represented by y, and the smaller is represented by x.

y = 33 + x

y + 5 * x = 129

(33 + x) + 5x = 129

6x + 33 = 129

6x = 96

x = 16

y = 33 + 16

y = 49

Check our work...

49 + 5 * 16 = 49 + 80 = 129

49 = 33 + 16 = 49

Since it all works out, the larger number is 49 and the smaller number is 16.

The true statements regarding the given isosceles right triangle ΔLMN are:

NM = xLM = x√2tan 45° = 1.

What are isosceles right triangles?

An isosceles triangle is a triangle where two sides and their corresponding angles are equal.

A right triangle is a triangle with one angle = 90°.

An isosceles right triangle is a right-angled triangle with two legs including the right angle are equal. Their corresponding angles are equal and each of them = 45°. So, the three angles of an isosceles right triangle are 45°, 45°, and 90°, always.

How do we solve the given question?

In the figure, we can see that we have a ΔLMN, with ∠L = 45°, ∠M = 45°, and ∠N = 90°. Also, we can see that LN = x.

The given angles of ΔLMN determine that it is an isosceles right triangle with a right angle at N.

Since, the two legs involving the right angle, that is N, are equal, we can say that, NM = LN = x.

The hypotenuse of the ΔLMN, that is the side opposite to ∠N, that is LM, can be found using the Pythagoras theorem, by which in a right-angled triangle,

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular².

∴ LM² = LN² + NM² = x² + x² = 2x².

or, LM = √(2x²) = x√2.

The tangent of an angle ∅, that is, tan ∅ is computed using the formula,

tan ∅ = Perpendicular/Base.

To calculate tan 45°, that is, tangent to ∠L, we take Perpendicular = NM and Base = LN.

∴ tan 45° = NM/LN = x/x = 1.

Now, we check all the given options:

NM = x. TRUE (computed)NM = x√2. FALSE (∵ NM = x)LM = x√2. TRUE (computed)tan 45° = √2/2. FALSE (∵ tan 45° = 1)tan 45° = 1. TRUE (computed)

∴ The true statements regarding the given isosceles right triangle ΔLMN are:

NM = xLM = x√2tan 45° = 1.

1. Meredith has 10 reports to file. If each report takes an average of 75 minutes to file, how long will it take her to file 70% of

them?

Answers

Answer:

70% of the reports will take 525 minutes (8 hours, 45 minutes) to file.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of Meredith's report, N = 10

average time taken for each report to be filed is, t = 75 minutes per report

let the total time for the 10 reports = T

[tex]\frac{T}{N} = t\\\\T = N*t \\\\T = 10 *75\\\\T = 750 \ minutes[/tex]

The total time for the 10 reports is 750 minutes.

Time taken to file 70 % of 10 reports = (0.7 x 10) x (75 mins)

                                                             = 0.7 x 750

                                                             = 525 minutes (8 hours, 45 minutes)

Therefore, 70% of the reports will take 525 minutes (8 hours, 45 minutes) to file.

A population of protozoa develops with a constant relative growth rate of 0.7233 per member per day. On day zero the population consists of four members. Find the population size after six days.

Answers

Answer:

307 members

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative growth rate= Growth rate/population

Given: constant relative growth rate=0.7233

0.7233=[tex]\frac{dP/dt}{P}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} =0.7233 P[/tex]

Theorem 2 states that solutions of the differential equation dy/dt = ky are in the form:    y(t)=y(0)[tex]e^k^t[/tex]

Writing the soltuion of our dif. equation as:

P(t)=P(0)[tex]e^{0.7233t}[/tex]

since on day zero the population consists of four members.

P(t)=4[tex]e^{0.7233t}[/tex]

next is to find the population size after six days. i.e t=6

P(6)=4[tex]e^{0.7233\times 6}[/tex] ≈ 307 members

Delicious Candy markets a two-pound box of assorted chocolates. Because of imperfections in the candy making equipment, the actual weight of the chocolate has a uniform distribution ranging from 31 to 32.5 ounces. What is the probability that a box weighs more than 32.2 ounces?

Answers

Answer:

20% probability that a box weighs more than 32.2 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X higher than x is given by the following formula.

[tex]P(X > x) = \frac{b-x}{b-a}[/tex]

Uniform distribution ranging from 31 to 32.5 ounces.

This means that [tex]a = 31, b = 32.5[/tex]

What is the probability that a box weighs more than 32.2 ounces?

[tex]P(X > 32.2) = \frac{32.5 - 32.2}{32.5 - 31} = 0.2[/tex]

50 POINTS PLEASE HELP will mark brainlest COMPRESSION BY A FACTOR OF 2 photos attached

Answers

Answer:

Point A'(-1,5)     ........ corrected A' instead of A

Point B'(3,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The current function has vertex (2,-4), and passes through (6,0).

Using the standard formula

y = a(x-h)^2+k

we have

h = 2, k=-4

parabola passes through (6,0) =>

0 = a(6-2)^2 -4 = 16a -4

a = 1/4

so equation of given curve is

f(x) = (1/4)(x-2)^2-4

If the curve is compressed horizontally by a factor of 2, then the image is

g(x) = (1/4)(2(x-2))^2-4

=(x-2)^2 -4

Given A(-4,5), B(4,-3)

f(-4) = 5  

f(4) = -4

With a compression factor of 2, coordinates of y do not change.

for point A'

5 = (x-2)^2 -4

5 = (x-2)^2 -4

(x-2)^2 = 9

(x-2) = +/- 3

x-2 = -3, x = -1  (to the left of vertex, ok)

x-2 = +3, x = 5 (to the right of vertex, alternate point x)

Point A'(-1,5)     ........ corrected A' instead of A

For point B'

y = -3

-3 = (x-2)^2-4

(x-2)^2 =1

x-2 = +/- 1

x-2 = +1, x=3 (to the right of vertex, point required)

x-2 = -1, x= 1 (to the left of vertex, alternate point Y)

Point B'(3,-3)

Two bond funds pay interest at rates that differ by 4%. Money invested for one year in the first fund earns $550 interest. The same amount invested in the other fund earns $770. Find the lower rate of interest. _________ %

Answers

Answer:

10% interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest I = PRT/100

If the rate R = x% we have

550 = P*x *1 / 100

and

770 = P*(x + 4) * 1 / 100

so From  first equation

Px = 55000  and from the second

Px + 4P =  77000

So Px = 77000 - 4P

Therefore  77000 - 4P = 55000

4P = 22000

P = 5,500

So x = 55000/5500 = 10%.

And  the rate for the other fund is 10 + 4 = 14%.

Which choice is a solution to the system of equations?

Answers

To solve this system, I would use substitution.

Since our first equation tells us that y = 2x - 3, we can substitute a

2x - 3 in for the y in our second equation to get 2x - 3 - 9 = -x.

Simplifying on the left we get 2x - 12 = -x.

Moving the 2x to the right, we have -12 = -3x.

Now divide both sides by -3 and we have 4 = x.

To find y, plug 4 back into either one of the original equations.

I'll go with the first one.

So we have y = 2(4) - 3.

Solving from here, we find that y = 5.

So the solution to this system is (4,5).

Which of these equations, when solved, gives a different value of x than the other three? 1. 9.1 = -0.2x + 10 2. 10 = 9.1 + 0.2x 3. 10 – 0.2x = 9.1 4. 9.1 – 10 = 0.2x

Answers

Answer:

4. 9.1 – 10 = 0.2x

X= -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for x in the equations given below

1. 9.1 = -0.2x + 10

9.1 - 10 = -0.2x

-0.9= -0.2x

-0.9/-0.2= x

4.5 = x

2. 10 = 9.1 + 0.2x

10-9.1 = 0.2x

0.9= 0.2x

0.9/0.2 = x

4.5 = x

3. 10 – 0.2x = 9.1

10-9.1= 0.2x

0.9= 0.2x

0.9/0.2= x

4.5 = x

4. 9.1 – 10 = 0.2x

-0.9 = 0.2x

-0.9/0.2= x

-4.5 = x

The different equation is equation 4

Reason because it's answer gave a negative value of x while others gave a positive value of x.

Answers

Answer: 0.58

Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a decimal, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100.

So we can think of 58% as the ratio 58 to 100 or 58/100.

Dividing by 100 moves the decimal point 2 places to the left so 58/100 would move the decimal point 2 places to the left which would give us .58 or 0.58. So 58% can be written as the decimal 0.58.
