Answer: There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we simply have to multiply the total weight of the bag by the water percentage in decimal form (divided by 100).

Mathematically speaking:

30 x (74/100) = 30 x 0.74 =22.2 pounds

There are 22.2 pounds of water in the bag.

What is the slope of the line shown below

Radda [10]

Here's the slope form; (y2- y1) / (x2 - x1)

All you have to do now is just plug in the number into the formula.

(6 - -4) / (6 - 1) = 10/5

Then divide, and the answer is D. 2.

Let x = a + bi and y = c + di and z = f + gi

ikadub [295]

True statements:
a) x + y = y + x ⇒ commutative property of addition
b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication
d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

False statements:
c) x - y = y - x should be: x - y = - y + x
e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)

Question 4 options: Find the mean and standard deviation for a binomial distribution with 680 trials and a probability of succes

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Mean for a binomial distribution = 374

Standard deviation for a binomial distribution = 12.97

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a binomial distribution with 680 trials and a probability of success of 0.55.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$
