Answer:

53.57%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate first the specific number of events that interest us, if at least 3 are girls, they mean that 2 are boys, therefore we must find the combinations of 3 girls of 5 and 2 boys of 3, and multiply that, so :

# of ways to succeed = 5C3 * 3C2 = 5! / (3! * (5-3)!) * 3! / (2! * (3-2)!)

 = 10 * 3 = 30

That is, there are 30 favorable cases, now we must calculate the total number of options, which would be the combination of 5 people from the group of 8.

# of random groups of 5 = 8C5 = 8! / (5! * (8-5)!) = 56

That is to say, in total there are 56 ways, the probability would be the quotient of these two numbers like this:

P (3 girls and 2 boys) = 30/56 = 0.5357

Which means that the probability is 53.57%

I need help with box and whisker plots ASAP
bonufazy [111]
Box and whiskers plots use five number summaries. The first number is:
1:Minimum
2.Quartile 1
3.Mean
4.Quartile 2
5.maximum

Quartile are simple to get.
If your set of numbers is:
2,3,3,6,8,8,11
Then find the mean
2 3 3 |6| 8 8 11
Find the mean of the left side of of mean.
2 |3| 3 3 =Quartile 1
Then the right side
8 |8| 11 8 =Quartile 2
-----------------------------------------------
Your 5 number summary is 2,3,6,8,11
Plot them on the number line, but put a line above where the dot would go. take the 3 middle lines and connect to make a box. The lines on the outside of the box are the whiskers, AKA distributed data.

If you have the following equation, 2/3x+5/6-x=2-3/4x what would you multiply each term by to get rid of all the fractions
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The answer is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply each of them by 12 to get rid of all of the fractions.

This is because 12 is the least common multiple of the denominators. You can find that by lining up their multiples and looking for the one that is the smallest that they have in common.

3: 3, 6, 9. 12. 15

4: 4. 8. 12. 16, 20

6: 6. 12. 18. 24. 30

Solve. −35x+15>720 Drag and drop a number or symbol into each box to show the solution.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality - 35x + 15 > 720  is x

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given inequality

- 35x + 15 > 720

Subtract both side by 15 , we get

- 35x + 15 - 15 > 720 - 15

- 35x > 705

Multiply both sides by -1 (Reverse the inequality )

(-35x)(-1) < 705 (-1)

35x < -705

Now, divide both side by 35

\frac{35x}{35}=\frac{-705}{35}

\Rightarrow x=\frac{-141}{7}

Thus, the solution of the inequality - 35x + 15 > 720  is x
