Answer:

5.80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The probability of successful treatment of cancer is, P(Success)=70\%=0.7

The probability of successful treatment in a given month is independent of the other month. So, probability of successful treatment for 'n' months in a row is given as:

P(n-Successes)=(P(Success))^n

Plug in 8 for 'n' and determine the required probability. This gives,

P(8-successes)=(0.7)^8=0.0576=5.76\%\approx5.80\%

Therefore, the probability that the treatment was successful 8 months in a row is 5.80% rounded to nearest tenth of a percent.

Find all zeros of <br>f(x)= x^3 + 3x^2 − 3x − 1
PSYCHO15rus [73]
F(1) =  1^3 + 3(1)^1 - 3 - 1 = 1 + 3 - 3 - 1 = 0

so one zero  is x = 1, and x-1 is a factor

dividing f(x)  by x - 1 gives x^2 + 4x + 1

x = [-4 +/- sqrt (16 - 4)] /  2

x = -0.27, -3.73

zeroes are 1 , -0.27 and -3.73   Answer

How many 4-digits number can be formed out of 0,1,2,3,5,7 and 8. If:
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

No repetition.

There are a total of 7 numbers.

For the number to be even it must end in 0,  2 or 8.

The other 3 numbers will be the number of permutations of 3 from  the 6 other numbers.

Number of 4 digit numbers ending in 0

= 6P3 = 6! / 6-3!

= 120.

Now the number could also end in 2 or 8,

so there are 3*120 = 360 4-digit even numbers (no repetition).

With repetition.

There are 3 * 7^3 = 1029  with repetition.

Help for brainliest. Hurry
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

You would need to convert the fractions to a denominator of 15 because it's the closest denominator for both.

So 1 and 2/5 can be changed to 1 and 6/15

And 1 and 1/3 can be changed to 5/15

So what you do is multiply both the numerator and denominator by how much you need to multiply to get to 15 and the denominator.

You would then add the fractions, leaving the answer to be 2 and 11/15 

So for example 2 * 3 = 6 and 5 * 3 = 15, meaning the fraction would be 6/15
