200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>

  • P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students

  • P(M) = 80 / 200 = 0.4

Solve for x. The triangles in each pair are similar. <br>​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to pay very close attention to the triangle similarity statement.  This says that triangle NML is similar to triangle NVU.  But if you look at the way that triangle NVU is oriented in its appearance, it's laying on its side.  We need to set it upright so that angle N is the vertex angle, angle V is the base angle on the left, and angle U is the base angle on the right.  When we do that we see that sides NV and NM are corresponding and exist in a ratio to one another; likewise with sides VU and ML.  Setting up the proportion:

\frac{NV}{NM}=\frac{VU}{ML}

Filling in:

\frac{12}{36} =\frac{9}{9x}

Cross multiply to get

324 = 108x

and x = 3

Of 24 employees at a local supermarket, 13 work as cashiers and 11 stock shelves. If 4 employees are selected at random to work
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The required probability is, \simeq 0.06729

Step-by-step explanation:

Of 24 employees at a local supermarket, 13 work as cashiers  and 11 stock shelves. If 4 employees are selected at random to work overtime, then

P( all 4 are cashiers) = \frac{^{13}{C}_{4}}{^{24}{C}_{4}}

                                 \simeq 0.06729

Darnell is trying to understand the Pythagorean Theorem by drawing a few triangles. He found that 1² + 1² = (√2)² is accurate. W
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

D. The triangle is a right triangle, the lengths of its sides are 1 and 1 with a hypotenuse of √2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is modeled by a² + b² = c².

c represents the hypotenuse and a and b represent the other two sides.

The Pythagorean Theorem can only be applied to right triangles.

Which data set has a median of 15? 9, 17, 13, 15, 16, 8, 12 18, 15, 11, 14, 19, 15, 6 7, 16, 14, 16, 11, 7, 17 18, 9, 19, 16, 6,
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The middle number of the data set or average of the two middle numbers in even numbered sets.

Step-by-step explanation:

A median is the middle point of a data set. We order the numbers from least to greatest and find the number directly in the middle of the list. If there are an even number in the set, then we take an average of the middle two.

The data sets are not separated. However, in the sets you have order them least to greatest each. Then count in from both sides to the middle. That number is the middle.
