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.

Mark and his three Friends ate out at Applebees's . Their bill totaled % 52.35 . If they left a 20% tip how much would each pers
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Each person would pay $15.71

Step-by-step explanation:

First we can calculate how much everyone ate by multiplying the bill amount by 120% (20% tip and 100% of the bill).

$52.35 * 120% = $62.82

Now to find out how much each pays, we have to divide that cost by the number of people (4).

$62.82/4 = $15.71

Graph g(x) = |x + 3|.
elena55 [62]

The graph of g(x) is gotten by translating the function f(x) = |x| down by 3 units to get to function g(x)

<h3>How to graph the equation of the function?</h3>

The equation of the function is given as; g(x) = |x| - 3

The above function is an absolute value function.

The parent function of an absolute value function is; f(x) = |x|

This means that the function f(x) is translated to get to function g(x)

In this case, the function is f(x) is translated down by 3 units to get to function g(x)

So, the graph of g(x) is gotten by translating the function f(x) = |x| down by 3 units to get to function g(x)

See attachment for the graph of g(x)

Evaluate: 3cos 80° cosec 10° + 2 sin 59° sec 31°<br>correct answer will be marked as Brainliest.​
vovangra [49]

Given that

3 cos 80° cosec 10° + 2 sin 59° sec 31°

⇛3 cos(90°-10°) cosec 10°+2 sin (90°-31°) sec 31°

We know that

sin (90° - A) = cos A

cos (90°-A) = sin A

⇛3 sin 10° cosec 10° + 2 cos 31° sec 31°

⇛3 sin 10° (1/sin 10°) + 2 cos 31° (1/cos 31°)

⇛3 (sin 10°/sin 10°) + 2 (cos 31°/cos 31°)

⇛3 (1) + 2(1)

⇛3+2

⇛5

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u> Therefore, 3cos 80°cosec 10°+2cos 59°sec 31° = 5.
