Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:The answers is c - 7/17.

So, this is how you'll get 7/17 you have to add the amount of boy's names and the amount of girl's names, so you add 14 and 20 together, means 14+20 which will give you 34. Then make it into a fraction, our numerator will be 14 because the questions asks for boy's names , and our denominator will be 34 because that is the total amount of names in the paper bag. Finally we gotta see if we can simplify it and in this case we could. Our fraction is 14/34 and in this case we could totally simplify it. For simplifying divide the numerator and the denominator by 2 you'll get 7/17.

Hope this will help you, thank you !!!!!

The stream of water from a fountain follows a parabolic path. The stream reaches a maximum height of 7 feet, represented by a ve
xenn [34]

First of all, I'm going to assume that we have a concave down parabola, because the stream of water is subjected to gravity.

If we need the vertex to be at x=4, the equation will contain a (x-4)^2 term.

If we start with y=-(x-4)^2 we have a parabola, concave down, with vertex at x=4 and a maximum of 0.

So, if we add 7, we will translate the function vertically up 7 units, so that the new maximum will be (4, 7)

We have

y = -(x-4)+7

Now we only have to fix the fact that this parabola doesn't land at (8,0), because our parabola is too "narrow". We can work on that by multiplying the squared parenthesis by a certain coefficient: we want

y = a(x-4)^2+7

such that:

  • a
  • when we plug x=8, we have y=0

Plugging these values gets us

0 = a(8-4)^2+7 \iff 16a+7=0 \iff a = -\dfrac{7}{16}

As you can see in the attached figure, the parabola we get satisfies all the requests.

Find the probability​ p(e or​ f) if e and f are mutually​ exclusive, ​p(e)equals 0.25​, and ​p(f)equals 0.51.
Masteriza [31]

The definition of two events being mutually exclusive (or disjoint) only means that it is not possible for the two events to occur together. Given two events, E and F, they are mutually exclusive and also mean independent.

In this case, since events E and F are mutually exclusive, therefore the probability that either E or F will occur will simply be the sum of two events.

P (E or F) = P (E) + P (F)

P (E or F) = 0.25 + 0.51

P (E or F) = 0.76

 

Therefore this means that there is a 76% probability that either E or F will occur.
