There are 8 states that begin with the letter m, so it would be 8/5 which = .16

List of U.S states that start with M:

1.Maine
2.Maryland
3.Massachusetts
4.Michigan
5.Minnesota
6.Mississippi
7.Missouri
8.Montana

There are 8 states that start with the letter "M".
There are 50 states so the probability/ratio is 8:50 or \frac{8}{50}

But to reduce to lowest terms, you need to find a common factor. 
2 is a common factor. 

Divide both sides by 2. 8÷2=4 and 50÷2=25

It is 4:25 which is also \frac{4}{25}

If you want the percentage instead of the ratio, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number)

4 ÷ 25=.16

Multiply by 100 and you get 16 which is equivalent to 16%

Answer: 

4:25 (ratio/probability)
or
16% (percentage)

Given the piecewise function shown below, select all of the statments that are true.
timurjin [86]
The <span>given the piecewise function is :
</span>
f(x) = \[ \begin{cases} &#10;      2x & x \ \textless \  1 \\&#10;      5 & x=1 \\&#10;      x^2 & x\ \textgreater \ 1 &#10;   \end{cases}&#10;\]

To find f(5) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → x²
∴ f(5) = 5² = 25


To find f(2) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → x²
∴ f(2) = 2² = 4

To find f(-2) ⇒ substitute with x = 5 in the function → 2x
∴ f(-2) = 2 * (-2) = -4

To find f(1) ⇒ substitute with x = 1 in the function → 5
∴ f(1) = 5
================================
So, the statements which are true:<span>
\framebox {B. f(2) = 4} \ \framebox {D. f(1) = 5}</span><span></span>
