Answer:

The probability of the student incorrectly solves the next problem is 44%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the event of solving a problem correctly.

Then E' is the event that the problem is solved incorrectly.

Now, recall the definition of probability.

probability of an event = \frac{number of favorable events}{total number of events}

So,

p(E) = \frac{40}{72}

Also,

p(E) + p(E') = 1 and

p(E') = 1 - p(E)

= 1 - \frac{40}{72}

= \frac{72-40}{72}

= \frac{32}{72}

= \frac{4}{9}

= \frac{4}{9} (100)

= 44% rounded.

Hence, the probability of the student incorrectly solves the next problem is 44%.

To find the volume we use an equation:

volume = length x width x height

Since this shape is a cube, you only need to know one side to find the volume since all of the sides are equal.

So all you need to find the volume is to multiply 4(1/2) which I am going to simplify to 4.5, is plug it into the equation.

volume = 4.5 x 4.5 x 4.5

Which will get you an answer of 91.125 inches cubed

91.125in^{3}

Hope this helps :)

How would I simplify the equation 5u^6x^2+20wx/15x^4
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The simplified form is 5u^6x^2+\frac{4w x^{-3}}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given to use, we need to reduce the given expression in its simplest form. There should not be any possibility for the further cancelling out of the division terms, if any.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

5u^6x^2+\frac{20wx}{15x^4}\\

Here we will simplify it, as follows:

5u^6x^2+\frac{20wx}{15x^4}\\=5u^6x^2+\frac{4w}{3x^3}\\=5u^6x^2+\frac{4w x^{-3}}{3}

So this is the required simplified form.
