Probability that he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives is 1/20 .

<h3>What is the meaning of Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the stream in mathematics in which likeliness of an event to happen is studied.

The range of probability lies between 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that anna, becky, christina, debbie, and esther are the five candidates for student representative for the school board.

two students will be selected, and they will alternate attending the school board meetings.

all five students are equally well qualified, so the school superintendent decides to draw names at random.

probability he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = ?

Probability of chosing debbie is 1/5

Probability of choosing Esther is also 1/5

Either of them if chosen first the probability is 1/5

and the either of them chosen second the probability is 1/4

Probability that he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20 .

Convert 86.25 into hexadecimal. ​
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

56.4

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert decimal number 86.25, we convert its integer and fraction part individually and then add them to get the equivalent hexadecimal number, as below:

To convert integer 86 to hexadecimal, follow these steps:

Divide 86 by 16 keeping notice of the quotient and the remainder. Continue dividing the quotient by 2 until you get a quotient of zero.

Then just write out the remainders in the reverse order to get the equivalent hexadecimal number.

86 / 16 = 5 with remainder 6

5 / 16 = 0 with remainder 5

Here is the answer to 86 decimal to hexadecimal number:

56

For converting decimal fraction 0.25 to hexadecimal number, follow these steps:

Multiply 0.25 by 16 keeping notice of the resulting integer and fractional part. Continue multiplying by 16 until you get a resulting fractional part equal to zero (we calcuclate upto ten digits).

Then just write out the integer parts from the results of each multiplication to get equivalent hexadecimal number.

0.25 × 16 = 4 + 0

Here is the answer to 0.25 decimal to hexadecimal number:

0.4

Therefore, decimal number 86.25 converted to hexadecimal is equal: 56.4

An animal park has lions, tigers and zebras. 17% of the animals are lions
Fittoniya [83]

3/10 is 30%

30% + 17% = 47%

100% is our total animals

100% - 47% (Lions + Zebras) =  53% (Tigers)

So 53% are tigers.

Does the data below describe a linear,<br> quadratic, or exponential function?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Quadratic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both linear and exponential equations are monotone increasing or monotone decreasing functions.

This means that, as the input increases, the output will only increase or only decrease, but never both.

Here for our data, we can see that first we have:

x = -8

y = 13

Then x increases to x = -6, and y decreases to y = 9

Then x increases to x = -4 and y increases to y = 13

Then this function is not monotone increasing nor monotone decreasing, so the data can not describe a linear nor an exponential function.

Then the correct option is quadratic.
