Answer:

The correct answer is: "Option [D]".

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi student, let me help you out!

....................................................................................................................................

Let's use the acronym PEMDAS. With the help of this little acronym, we will not make mistakes in the Order of Operations! :)

$\dag\textsf{Acronym \: PEMDAS}$

P=Parentheses,

E=Exponents,

M=Multiplication,

D=Division,

A=Addition,

S=Subtraction.

Now let's start evaluating our expression, which is $\mathsf{6-(\cfrac{2}{3})^2}$

According to PEMDAS, the operation that we should perform is "E-Exponents".

Notice that we have a fraction raised to a power. When this happens, we raise both the numerator (2 in this case) and the denominator (3 in this case) to that power, which is 2. After this we obtain $\mathsf{6-\cfrac{4}{9}}$ .

See, we raised both the numerator and the denominator to the power of 2.

Now what we should do is subtract fractions.

Note that 6 and -4/9 have unlike denominators. First, let's write 6 as a fraction: $\mathrm{\cfrac{6}{1}-\cfrac{4}{9}}$ . Now let's multiply the denominator and the numerator of the first fraction times 9: $\mathrm{\cfrac{54}{9}-\cfrac{4}{9}}$ .

See, now the fractions have the same denominator. All we should do now is subtract the numerators: $\mathrm{\cfrac{50}{9}}$ .

∴, the answer is Option D.

Hope this helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.

Best Wishes!

Calculate 2/3, to the power of 3, therefore

$\bf{\left(\dfrac{2}{3}\right)^{2}=\dfrac{2\times2}{3\times3}=\dfrac{4}{9} }$

$\bf{6-\dfrac{4}{9} }$

Convert 6 to the fraction 54/9.

$\bf{\dfrac{54}{9}-\dfrac{4}{9} }$

Since 54/9 and 4/9 have the same denominator, join their numerators to subtract them.

$\bf{\dfrac{54-4}{9} \ \ \to \ \ \ Subtract }$

Subtract 4 from 54 to get 50.

$\bf{\dfrac{50}{9} \ \ \to \ \ \ Answer }$

Therefore, the correct alternative is "D".

Kiera used place value and the distributive property to find the product of 12 and 597. Her work is shown below. 12(597) = 12(50

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

(90)(7) ⇒ the error was multiplying 90 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

12(597) = 12(500 + 90 + 7)

= 12(500) + (90)(7)

= 6000 + 630

= 6,630

The part in bold shows where the error is. It was not correct to multiply 90 and 7.

The process was to proceed as follows:

12(597) = 12(500 + 90 + 7)

= 12(500) + 12(90) + 12(7)

= 6000 + 1080 + 84

= 7,164

(3^n*3^2)^4=3^28 Enter the value of n for the equation N= ?

maksim [4K]

Hello! And thank you for your question!

Use Pemdas to get

3^(n+2)*4=3^28

Rewrite the equation:

3^4(n+2) = 3^28

Cancel the base of 3:

4(n + 2) = 28

Then divide 4 on both sides:

2 + n = 28/4

Simplify 28/4:

2 + n = 7

Subtract 2 on both sides:

n = 7 - 2

Finally simplify 7 - 2:

n = 5

Final Answer:

n = 5

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets for a flight that holds only 12

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

Step-by-step explanation:

For each passenger who show up, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they can take the flight, or they do not. The probability of a passenger taking the flight is independent from other passenger. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

However, we are working with a large sample. So i am going to aproximate this binomial distribution to the normal.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

The probability that a passenger does not show up is 0.10:

This means that the probability of showing up is 1-0.1 = 0.9. So $p = 0.9$

Because not all airline passengers show up for their reserved seat, an airline sells 125 tickets

This means that $n = 125$

Using the approximation:

$\mu = E(X) = np = 125*0.9 = 112.5$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{125*0.9*0.1} = 3.354$

(a) What is the probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

This is $P(X \leq 120)$ , so this is the pvalue of Z when X = 120.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{120 - 112.5}{3.354}$

$Z = 2.24$

$Z = 2.24$ has a pvalue of 0.9875

98.75% probability that every passenger who shows up can take the flight

Please help!! Im confused

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The answer is that you tutored for 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 total squares, so then you must divide 12 by the number of squares (6), to find the value of one square. Then, you would find that one square equals 2 hours, and since you have 2 squares that means that you tutored for 4 hours.

Hope it helps!
