Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
number of counties = 159
n number of people are mutually independent and equally likely home locations
considering the details given in the question
n ≤ 159
The number of ways for people ( n ) will live in the different counties (159) can be determined as
since the residents are mutually independent and equally likely home locations hence there are :
ways for the residents to live in
therefore the probability =

Answer:
Like terms:

1.25x²
-8x²
Step-by-step explanation:
Like terms are terms that have the same variable to the same exponent. In this case, the only like terms are those with the variable 'x' to the exponent of '2', or x². This would include the terms:

1.25x²
-8x²
The term 5yx², also includes x², however, it also includes the variable 'y' which makes it 'unlike' the other terms.
Nine groups of 8 students and one group of 6 students. 9 x 8 = 72. 78 - 72 = 6.
Answer:
about 8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a regular polygon is ...
A = 1/2Pa . . . . where P is the perimeter and "a" is the apothem, the distance from the center to a side
Filling in your numbers, we have ...
20 cm^2 = (1/2)P(5 cm)
Dividing by the coefficient of P, we find ...
2×(20 cm^2)/(5 cm) = P = 8 cm
The perimeter of the pentagon is about 8 cm.
_____
<em>Comment on the problem</em>
This calculation makes use of the area formula, as apparently intended. A regular pentagon with an apothem of about 5 cm will have an area of about 90.8 cm^2. The given geometry is impossible, as the pentagon is nearly 10 cm across. It cannot have a perimeter of only 8 cm.
