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.

HI! I HAVE A TEST ON MONDAY AND IM TRYING TO STUDY, IM KINDA STUCK ON HOW TO DO THIS PROBLEM..
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

number of yellow pieces/number of blue pieces

= 14/24

= 7/12 --> 7 to 12 --> 7:12

The ratio that represents the number of yellow pieces to the total number of pieces is part-to-whole

number of yellow pieces/total number of pieces

= 14/100

= 7/50 --> 7 to 50 --> 7:50

The ratio that represents the number of blue pieces to the total number of pieces is part-to-whole

= 24/100

= 6/25 --> 6 to 25 --> 6:25

Find f(4) when f(x)=4x^2 - 2 x - 4
prisoha [69]

Answer:

52

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=4x^2-2x-4

f(4)=4(4)^2-2(4)-4 (I replaced x with (4) since we are to find f(4).)

f(4)=4(16)-2(4)-4    (By the order of operations, we take care of the exponents before whatever else we have here.)

f(4)=64-8-4           (By the order of operations, we take care of the multiplication as we see if left to right.)

f(4)=56-4              (By the order of operations, we perform addition/subtraction as we see it left to right.)

f(4)=52                 (This completes the simplification.)

We could have also put this in our calculator as:

4(4)^2 -  2(4)  -  4

This would have returned 52.
