Answer:

The probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

The probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The probability of a conservative candidate winning is p=0.6.

The probability of one progressive candidate will win is: 1-0.6=0.4

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins all three seats?

According to binomial distribution: b(x; n, p) =^nC_xp^x(1- p)^{n-x}

P(x=3) =^3C_3(0.6)^3 (0.4)^{3-3}

P(x=3) =(0.6)^3

P(x=3)=0.216

P(conservative party wins all 3 seats) = 0.216

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins all 3 seats is 0.216

Part (a) What is the probability that the conservative party wins exactly two seats?

P(x=2) =^3C_2(0.6)^2 (0.4)^{3-2}

P(x=2) =3(0.36)(0.4)

P(x=2) =0.432

Hence, the probability that conservative party wins exactly two seats is 0.432

The ratio of 6th graders to 7th graders in a MATHCOUNTS club is 5:4. The ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders in the same club is

ANSWER
========

Ratio of 8th graders to 7th graders = 3 : 2

Let the number of graders be 3x and 2x

Number of 8th graders = 18

So , 3x = 18

x = 18/3 = 6

Number of 7th graders = 2 × 6 = 12

Ratio of 6th graders to 7th graders = 5 : 4

Let the number of graders be 5a and 4a

Number of 7th graders = 12

So , 4a = 12

a = 12/4 = 3

Number of 6th graders = 5×3 = 15 ANS

The first term in the sequence below is 2.
Art [367]
-7n + 9 because the common difference is -7, so you have -7n, and then by plugging in the term numbers and the values, you find out that you need to add 9 to the -7n, so the answer is -7n + 9

Vertical lines have an undefined slope

we can check using

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    =(2- -2)/( -3 - -3)

    = (2+2)/( -3+3)
