When a red and a white flower reproduce, the chance of their offspring being a red flower is 25%. if five pairs of red and white

flowers have offspring
what is the chance that exactly 2 of the flowers are red?
what is the chance that no more than 2 red flowers exist in the offspring?

Answer:

P(2 red in 5 offspring) = 26.4%

P(no more than 2 red flowers) = 65.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(red) = 25%

P(white) = 75%

P(2 red in 5 offspring) = 5C2 P(red)*P(red)*P(white)*P(white)*P(white)

= 10 * 0.25 * 0.25 * 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 = 26.4%

P(no more than 2 red flowers) = P(1 red in 5 offspring) + P(2 red in 5 offspring)

= 5C1 P(red)*P(white)^4 + 0.2637

= 5 * 0.25 * 0.75* 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 + 0.2637

= 0.6592 = 65.9%

Solve for x: 1/2x - 4 = 8

iris [78.8K]

First do 8 + 4 which is 12

Next do 12 times 2 which is 24

Final step is to do 24 divided by 1 which gets you 24

The answer is 24.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form:

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

<em>(h, k)</em><em> - vertex</em>

The focus is

$\left(h,\ k+\dfrac{1}{4a}\right)$

We have the vertex (2, -5) and the focus (2, -4).

Calculate the value of <em>a</em> using $k+\dfrac{1}{4a}$

<em>k = -5</em>

$-5+\dfrac{1}{4a}=-4$ <em>add 5 to both sides</em>

$\dfrac{1}{4a}=1$ <em>multiply both sides by 4</em>

$4\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{4\!\!\!\!\diagup_1a}=4$

$\dfrac{1}{a}=4\to a=\dfrac{1}{4}$

Substitute

$a=\dfrac{1}{4},\ h=2,\ k=-5$

to the vertex form of an equation of a parabola:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x-2)^2-5$

The standard form:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

Convert using

$(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-2(x)(2)+2^2)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}(x^2-4x+4)-5$

<em>use the distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac</em>

$y=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(x^2)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(-4x)+\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)(4)-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x+1-5\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x^2-x-4$

Answer:

$2\frac{2}{5} + 2\frac{5}{8} \simeq 5$

$2\frac{2}{7} + 2\frac{5}{8} \simeq 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Mixed fraction $a\frac{b}{c}$ can be converted into like or unlike fractions.

Here, $a\frac{b}{c} = \frac{ac +b}{b}$

So, convert all the given fractions as follows:

$2\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2(5) +2}{5} = \frac{12}{5} =2.4$

$2\frac{2}{7} = \frac{2(7) +2}{7} = \frac{16}{7} =2.4$

$1\frac{7}{8} = \frac{1(8) +7}{8} = \frac{15}{8} =1.8$

$2\frac{1}{10} = \frac{2(10) + 1}{10} = \frac{21}{10} =2.1$

$2\frac{5}{8} = \frac{2(8) +5}{8} = \frac{21}{8} =2.6$

Here, No Two fractions on addition gives a sum greater than 5.

But an approximate sum of 5 is given by adding 2.4 + 2.6 = 5

⇒ $2\frac{2}{5} + 2\frac{5}{8} \simeq 5$

or ⇒ $2\frac{2}{7} + 2\frac{5}{8} \simeq 5$
