The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

<h3>How to find the probability?</h3>

We know that the odds against the particular candidate are 9 to 5.

The the odds for the candidate are 5 to 9, this means that in 5 cases the candidate will win, and in 9 cases the candidate will lose.

Then the candidate wins in 5 out of 14 cases, then the probability that the particular candidate wins the elections is given by the quotient:

P = 5/14 = 0.357

The probability that the candidate will win is P = 0.357

Answer:

<h3> $\boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 21}}}$ </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{(x - 3)(x + 7)}$

Use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second binomial.

⇒ $\sf{x(x + 7) - 3(x + 7)}$

⇒ $\sf{ {x}^{2} + 7x - 3x - 21}$

Collect like terms

⇒ $\sf{ {x}^{2} + 4x - 21}$

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Use slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

XZ: -5/9
YZ: 2/7
XY: -7/2

XYZ is a right triangle because two of these slopes have a product of -1.

(YZ and XY does). We are all busy these days.

What is the inverse of the function below?<br><br> f(x) = 2^x + 6

Helen [10]

The inverse of this function would be f(x) = $\frac{Log(x - 6)}{Log2}$ .

You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.

f(x) = $2^{x}$ - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x

x = $2^{f(x)}$ - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides

x + 6 = $2^{f(x)}$ -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent

Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2

$\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}$ = f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.

f(x) = $\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}$

And that would be your new inverse function.

An equation is shown below. 12 – 6(w – 3) = 3(– 5 – 3w) + 21 Enter the solution of w for this equation.

gogolik [260]

<span>Simplifying
12 + -6(w + -3) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
12 + -6(-3 + w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (-3 * -6 + w * -6) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
12 + (18 + -6w) = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21

Combine like terms: 12 + 18 = 30
30 + -6w = 3(-5 + -3w) + 21
30 + -6w = (-5 * 3 + -3w * 3) + 21
30 + -6w = (-15 + -9w) + 21

Reorder the terms:
30 + -6w = -15 + 21 + -9w

Combine like terms: -15 + 21 = 6
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving
30 + -6w = 6 + -9w

Solving for variable 'w'.

Move all terms containing w to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '9w' to each side of the equation.
30 + -6w + 9w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -6w + 9w = 3w
30 + 3w = 6 + -9w + 9w

Combine like terms: -9w + 9w = 0
30 + 3w = 6 + 0
30 + 3w = 6

Add '-30' to each side of the equation.
30 + -30 + 3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0
0 + 3w = 6 + -30
3w = 6 + -30

Combine like terms: 6 + -30 = -24
3w = -24

Divide each side by '3'.
w = -8

Simplifying
w = -8</span>

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The First action is to enter the data in Excel and then save it as a csv file. Then call the data set in R using your saved path, I have made use of my computer path here in my code. please change it for yours.

Here is the code That you need to use for finding the multiple limear regression model and summary of it.

code:

data=read. csv("C:\\Users\\HP\\Desktop\\chegg. csv")

data

attach(data)

model=lm(Risk~Age+Blood.Pressure+Smoker)

summary(model)

And Here is the output:

Call:

lm(formula = Risk ~ Age + Blood.Pressure + Smoker)

Residuals:
