Answer:

Taylor = 50%

Moore = 25%

Jenkins = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming there are no other candidates and that someone has to win the election, the probabilities of Taylor, Moore, and Jenkins winning the election must add up to 1 or 100%.

T+M+J = 1\\

Since Moore and Jenkins have about the same probability of winning, and Taylor is believed to be twice as likely to win as either of the others:

M=J\\T=2J\\J+J+2J=1\\J=0.25\\M=J=0.25\\T=2*0.25=0.5

Taylor has a probability of 50% of winning the election.

Moore has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

Jenkins has a probability of 25% of winning the election.

What value of x will make this expression equal to 28.1? A) x=0 is the only value that will make the expression equal to 28.1 B)
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Any value except -3.44 will make the equation equal to 28.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told to multiply the quotient of the fraction by 28.1 to make 28.1. So, it is obvious that the fraction has to simplified to a one. This is possible with any number as whatever the value of x, the numerator and denominator will be equal. But, in the case of -3.44, it will make 5e fraction 0/0, which is undefined and never equal to 1.

I hope this helps
