There are 6 women and 9 men eligible to be in a committee of 5. Find the expected number of women on the committee given that at least one woman must be on the committee. Round the probabilities of the distribution to four decimal places or keep them as fractions. Round the answer to two decimal places.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 0.2517

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we must calculate the probability of event, which would be the number of specific events (that is, at least one woman and the rest men, 4), then it would be to choose 1 of 6 women by 4 of 9 men divided by the number of total events, which would be to choose 5 (committee size) out of 15 (9 men + 6 women, total number of people)

P (at least one woman) = 6C1 * 9C4 / 15C5

we know that nCr = n! / (r! * (n-r)!)

replacing we have:

6C1 = 6! / (1! * (6-1)!) = 6

9C4 = 9! / (4! * (9-4)!) = 126

15C5 = 15! / (5! * (15-5)!) = 3003

Therefore it would be:

P (at least one woman) = 6 * 126/3003

P = 0.2517

That is, approximately 1 out of 4 women.

please i know the awnser is 60 but i cant explain it

Answers

Answer:

a) 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

b) The triangle shown is an equilateral triangle as all the sides are the same. This means that all the angles are the same as well.

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. There are 3 angles. Each angle is 60 degrees.

Angle x is an exterior corresponding angle and hence, that is why x = 60 degrees.

hope this helps : )

Answer:

All of the measures of the interior angles of an equilateral triangle are 60°. Because x and 60° are alternate interior angles of parallel lines, this means that they are equal, therefore x = 60°.


Ray and Kelsey have summer internships at an engineering firm. As part of their internship, they get to assist in the planning of a brand new roller coaster. For this assignment, you help Ray and Kelsey as they tackle the math behind some simple curves in the coaster's track.

Part A

The first part of Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster is a curved pattern that can be represented by a polynomial function.

Ray and Kelsey are working to graph a third-degree polynomial function that represents the first pattern in the coaster plan. Ray says the third-degree polynomial has 4 intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as 3 zeros only. Is there a way for the both of them to be correct? Explain your answer.

Kelsey has a list of possible functions. Pick one of the g(x) functions below and then describe to Kelsey the key features of g(x), including the end behavior, y-intercept, and zeros.
g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4
g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 9x − 18
g(x) = x3 − 3x2 − 4x + 12
g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − 25x − 50
g(x) = 2x3 + 14x2 − 2x − 14

Create a graph of the polynomial function you selected from Question 2.

Part B

The second part of the new coaster is a parabola.

Ray needs help creating the second part of the coaster. Create a unique parabola in the pattern f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. Describe the direction of the parabola and determine the y-intercept and zeros.

The safety inspector notes that Ray also needs to plan for a vertical ladder through the center of the coaster's parabolic shape for access to the coaster to perform safety repairs. Find the vertex and the equation for the axis of symmetry of the parabola, showing your work, so Ray can include it in his coaster plan.

Create a graph of the polynomial function you created in Question 4.

Part C

Now that the curve pieces are determined, use those pieces as sections of a complete coaster. By hand or by using a drawing program, sketch a design of Ray and Kelsey's coaster that includes the shape of the g(x) and f(x) functions that you chose in the Parts A and B. You do not have to include the coordinate plane. You may arrange the functions in any order you choose, but label each section of the graph with the corresponding function for your instructor to view.

Part D

Create an ad campaign to promote Ray and Kelsey's roller coaster. It can be a 15-second advertisement for television or radio, an interview for a magazine or news report, or a song, poem, or slideshow presentation for a company. These are just examples; you are not limited to how you prepare your advertisement, so be creative. Make sure to include a script of what each of you will say if you are preparing an interview or a report. The purpose of this ad is to get everyone excited about the roller coaster.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

A 3rd degree polynomial can have no more than 3 x-intercepts or zeros. Kelsey is correct. However, Ray stated it had 4 intercepts which can include 3 x-intercept and 1 y-intercept.

Graph the function g(x) = x3 − x2 − 4x + 4. See attached picture.

It has x-intercepts at (-2,0), (1,0) and (2,0). The y-intercept is (0,4). As x-> -∞ then y -> -∞. As x->∞, y->∞.

Part B

Use the quadratic function f(x) = -x^2 - 6x. The parabola faces downward with y -intercept (-3,9) and zeros (-6,0) and (0,0). See the attached graph.

The axis of symmetry will serve as a ladder through the coaster at x = -3.

Part C and D will use the math above to create the coaster and ad campaign.

find the value of a and b for which the system of equations has infinitely many solutions : 2x + 3y = 7 ; (a-b)x + (a+b)y = 3a + b - 2​

Answers

Answer:

a= 5    and   b=1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

2x + 3y = 7

(a-b)x + (a+b)y = 3a + b - 2​

We should note that since it has infinitely many solutions then,

[tex]\frac{a_{1} }{a_{2} } = \frac{b_{1} }{b_{2} } = \frac{c_{1} }{c_{2} }[/tex]

Hence

2/a-b  =  3/a+b   =     7/3a +b-2

2/a-b  =  3/a+b

cross-multiply

3(a-b) = 2( a+b)

open the bracket

3a - 3b = 2a + 2b

collect like term

3a - 2a = 2b + 3b

a = 5b  -------------------------------------------(1)

Similarly

3/a+b   =     7/3a +b-2

cross-multiply

7(a+b)  = 3(3a+b -2)

7a + 7b = 9a + 3b -6

take all the variables to the left-hand side of the equation

7a - 9a+ 7b-3b =   -6

-2a + 4b = -6 ---------------------------------(2)

but a = 5b

substitute a= 5b in equation (2)   and solve for b

-2(5) + 4b = -6

-10  +  4b  = -6

add 10 to both-side of the equation

-10  + 10+ 4b  = -6+10

4b = 4

divide both-side of the equation by 4

b = 1

substitute b= 1 in equation (1)

a = 5b

a =5(1)

a=5

Therefore,   a= 5    and   b=1

Enter your answer as a reduced fraction, like this: 3/14

Answers

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 total combinations and 3 of them include a burger, 2 of them that have salad but not a burger. If you add them together it equals 5/9

The probability of selecting a combination that includes a burger or a salad is 5/9

Since the total of 6 outcomes include fries or fruit as the side dish.

There is a total of 9 possible meal combinations. A person must choose an Entree and a side dish.

The Entrees consist of burgers, tacos, and pizzas.

The side dishes consist of salad, fries, and fruit.

To find the number of combinations consisting of fries or fruit, we calculate the individual combinations.

With fries as side dish, which can choose a burger, a pizza or a taco as your Entree.

There are 3 combinations each, there are a total of 6 combinations with fruit or fries as the side dish.

There are 9 total combinations and 3 include a burger, rest 2 that have salad but not a burger.

Which investment as the greater amount of interest? Give the difference between the amounts of interest earned by the two investments

the investment with simple? or compound?
interest earns $___ more in interest.

(Round to the nearest cant as needed.)


Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the simple interest formula= principal* interest rate*time

simple interest : 100000*%2*2 years

simple interest= 4000 dollars

compound quarterly : A=principal(1+r/4)^t

since it is quarterly and have 4 quarters in a year, and 8 in two years.

compound quarterly: 100000(1+0.03/4)^8=106159.88

it is better to invest with compound interest because it add 6159 dollars in two years to the investment of 100000 dollars.

the difference between the interest: 6159.88-4000=2159.88

Step-by-step explanation:

10 ÷ 2 = 5

1 lap = 5 minutes

5/1 × 5 = 25

25 minutes

Hope this helped! :)

Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup:

minutes/laps=minutes/laps

It takes 10 minutes to swim 2 laps.

10 minutes / 2 laps = minutes/laps

We don't know how long it will take to swim 5 laps. Therefore, we can say it takes x minutes to swim 5 laps.

10 minutes/ 2 laps= x minutes / 5 laps

10/2= x/5

We want to find out what x is. Therefore, we need to get x by itself.

x is being divided by 5. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 5.

5*(10/2)=(x/5)*5

5*10/2=x

5*5=x

25=x

It takes 25 minutes to swim 5 laps.

Their online readership has been increasing by 8 thousand people each year, while their physical paper sales have decreased by 6 thousand papers a year. In what year does online readership exceed physical sales?

Answers

Answer:

t = 5 years

online readership will exceed physical sales in 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of physical readership can be represented by the equation;

P(t) = 120 - 6t

The number of Online readership can be represented by the equation;

K(t) = 60 + 8t

For online readership to exceed physical sales

K(t) > P(t)

60 + 8t > 120 - 6t

Collecting the like terms;

8t+6t > 120-60

14t>60

t > 60/14

t > 4.29

To the nearest year greater than 4.29.

t = 5 years

Answers

Answer:

$13,450

Step-by-step explanation:

The fixed costs of production, are the costs incurred that are independent from the production volume, that is, regardless of how many spinners the company produces, those costs will remain the same. If 'x' is the number of spinners produced, interpreting the cost function, we can see that it costs $1.28 to produce each spinner and that there is a cost that does not rely on production of $13,450. Therefore, the fixed cost of production is $13,450.
