Answer:

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each resume received by the corporation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are from a female, or they are not. The probability of a resume received being from a female is independent from other resumes. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

22% of all resumes received by a corporation for a management position are from females.

This means that p = 0.22

18 resumes will be received tomorrow.

This means that n = 18

What is the probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females?

This is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{18,1}.(0.22)^{1}.(0.78)^{17} = 0.0580

5.80% probability that exactly 1 resume will be from females.

A solid oblique pyramid has a regular hexagon base with an area of 54_/3 cm^2 and an edge length of 6cm. Angle BAC measures 60 d
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: The answer is (C) 324 cubic cm.


Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question, given a solid oblique pyramid with a regular hexagonal base and area 54√3 cm². Also, the edge length of the base is 6cm and ∠BAC = 60°.

We are to find the volume of the pyramid.

The formula for finding the volume of a pyramid is given by

V=\dfrac{1}{3}b\times h,

where, 'b' is the base area and 'h' is the perpendicular height of the pyramid.

Here, b = 54√3 cm², h = ?

Now, from the right-angled triangle ABC, we have

\dfrac{\textup{BC}}{\textup{AC}}=\tan 60^\circ\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{h}{6}=\sqrt 3\\\\\Rightarrow h=6\sqrt 3.

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is

V=\dfrac{1}{3}b\times h=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 54\sqrt 3\times 6\sqrt 3=324.

Thus, the required volume is V=324~\textup{cm}^3. This makes (C) as the correct option.

The team mascot shoots a rolled T-shirt from a special T-shirt cannon to a section of people in the stands at a basketball game.
Svet_ta [14]
For this parabola we have:
f ( 0 ) = 8
and : f ( 1 ) = 24
In the first equation ( A) :
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 - 1 )² + 24 = - 16 * 1 + 24 = 8 ( correct )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² + 24 = 24  ( correct )
For B:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 + 1 )² + 24 = - 16 + 24    = 8  ( correct )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 + 1 )² + 24 = - 16 * 4 + 24 = - 64 + 24 = 40 ( false )
For C:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 - 1 )² - 24 = - 16 - 24 = - 40 ( false )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² - 24 = - 24  ( false )
For D:
f ( 0 ) = - 16 * ( 0 + 1 )² - 24 = - 16 - 24 = - 40 ( false )
f ( 1 ) = - 16 * ( 1 - 1 )² - 24 = - 24   ( false )
Answer:
A )  f ( t ) =  - 16 * ( t - 1 )² + 24

A coin favors heads when tossed and there are 15 heads in 18 tosses
Alexxandr [17]
This is not correct.  You might think you are "on a roll" but the probability of heads on any toss is just as likely as the probability of tails because each coin toss is an independent event, meaning, two events related in such a way that knowing about the occurrence of one event has no effect on the probability of the the other event.  This would hold true if you have tossed these 15 heads and you believe that tails "are due".  It is an independent event.
