Answer:

Option C is correct

$\frac{3}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition of probability:

$\text{Probability} = \frac{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

As per the given statement:

The local high school is hosting an ice cream social for new students.

They record the ice cream choices of the students throughout the event.

We have to find the probability that a male student chooses vanilla ice cream.

Total number of vanilla ice cream = 14

Number of male student chooses vanilla ice cream = 6

then;

By definition we have;

$\text{Probability that a male student chooses vanilla ice cream} = \frac{6}{14} = \frac{3}{7}$

Therefore, $\frac{3}{7}$ is the probability that a male student chooses vanilla ice cream

Is Figure B a scale copy of Figure A?

kari74 [83]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the vertical sides from A to B is 2/4 which equals 1/2.

The ratio of the lengths of the horizontal sides of A to B is 4/11.

Since 4/11 is not equal to 1/2, figure B is not a scale copy of figure A.

Which of the following is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line y =

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

y = $\frac{1}{10}$ x + $\frac{13}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 10x + 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 10

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-10}$ = $\frac{1}{10}$ , thus

y = $\frac{1}{10}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, 7) into the partial equation

7 = $\frac{1}{2}$ + c ⇒ c = 7 - $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{13}{2}$

y = $\frac{1}{10}$ x + $\frac{13}{2}$ ← equation of line

Define a sequence by a1=3 and an=3an−1. Find the first four terms of the sequence. Give a simplified integer answer.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The first four terms are 3,9,27,81

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step :-1</u>

Given first term of sequence is $a_{1} = 3$

Given 'n' t h term is $a_{n} = 3 a_{n-1}$ .............(1)

here we put n = 2 in equation (1)

$a_{2} = 3a_{2-1}$

$a_{2} = 3 a_{1}$ ..............2

put $a_{1} = 3$ in equation (2)

$a_{2} = 3(3)$

$a_{2} = 9$

put n=3 in equation (1)

$a_{3} = 3 a_{3-1}$

$a_{3} = 3a_{2}$

$a_{3} = 3 (9) = 27$

put n= 4 in equation (1)

$a_{4} = 3 a_{4-1}$

$a_{4} = 3 a_{3}$

$a_{4} = 3(27) = 81$

The first four terms of the sequence is

3 , 9, 27 , 81 ....this is geometric sequence

a =3 and ratio term is r =3
