Let the number of years of watching TV be

x

.

The number of years sleeping exceeds the number of years watching TV by

18

. This means that the number of years sleeping is higher than the number of years watching TV by

18

and can be represented by

(x+18).

The total time is 34

years. So we can form the following equation and solve for the required values:

x+(x+18)=34

x+x+18=34

2x=34-18

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

Thus, the number of years watching is 8

and the number of years sleeping is

8+18=26

.

Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct option is D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 volunteers including Andrew and Karen, 4 people are to be selected at random to organize a charity event.

We need to determine the probability Andrew will be among the 4 volunteers selected and Karen will not.

We want to select Andrew and 3 others but not Karen in the group.

Thus, the number of ways to select 3 member out of 8-2=6

(We subtract 2 from 8 because Andrew is already selected and we don't want Karen to be selected, so subtract 2 from 8.)

The required probability is:

\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{\frac{6!}{3!3!}}{\frac{8!}{4!4!}}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\frac{20}{70}\\\\\\\dfrac{^6C_3}{^8C_4}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Hence, the correct option is D. 2/7

What is 5C3?<br> A. 35<br> B. 10<br> C. 14<br> D. 28
galben [10]

Answer: B. 10

-5C3 or 5 choose 3 refers to how many combinations are possible from 5 items, taken 3 at a time. To calculate combinations, we will use the formula nCr = n! / r! ... * (n - r)!, where n represents the total number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

-10 is the total number of all possible combinations for choosing 3 elements at a time from 5 distinct elements without considering the order of elements in statistics & probability surveys or experiments. The number of combinations for sample space 5 CHOOSE 3 can also be written as 5C3 in the format of nCr or nCk.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this help :D

Round each number to the nearest ten. What is the best estimate for the answer to 343.42 – 39.87?
Dafna11 [192]
The original answer for that question would be 303.55. The best estimate when you round to the nearest tenth the approximate answer would be 303.6 because the 5 in the hundredths place rounds the 5 in the tenths place to a 6. So the approximate answer would be 303.6....hope this helps.
