Total applications = 75
Apartments on north side of town = 4
Apartments on South side of town = 5

First  person has a 4/75 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(A) = 4/75

And second person has a 3/74 chance of getting a house in the north side
P(B) = 3/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the north side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (4 ÷ 75) x (3 ÷ 74) = 0.05333 x 0.04054 = 0.00216 

First  person has a 5/75 chance of getting a house in the south side 
P(A) = 5/75

And second person has a 4/74 chance of getting a house in the south side
P(B) = 4/74

Probability that 2 qualified applicants will be selected for the south side of town =  P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = (5 ÷ 75) x (4 ÷ 74) = 0.06666 x 0.05405 = 0.00360

Express 0.0939 as a fraction
DaniilM [7]
939/10,000 the decimal place indicates the fraction. You would love the decimal over 4 spaces which is the ten thousands place so that is what you set 939 over!

PLEASE HELP ASAP! WILL GIVE BRAINLEIST!<br> Find the area of the shaded region. Use pi = 3.14
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Square

The side length of the square = 8 cm

The area of the square = s^2

The area of the square = 8^2 = 64

Circle

r = d/2

r = 8/2

r = 4

Area of the circle = pi r^2

Area of the circle = 3.14 * 16

Area of the circle = 50.24

Shaded Area

Area of the Shaded area = area Square - Area Circle

                                          = 64 - 40.24

                                          = 23.76

Lane high school has 5 times as many students as park elementary. How many more students attend lane high school than park high
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

5 times as many

<em>BRAINLIEST, please!</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd need more information about how many students there are at one of the schools. For example, if there are 200 students at Park Elementary, then there are 1000 at Lane High School since 200 x 5 = 1000. 1000 - 200 is 800, so there would be 800 more students at Lane High.

You are designing a ramp where the horizontal distance is twice the vertical rise. what will be the ramp angle to the nearest te
ankoles [38]
Use the definition of tangent

or inv tangent (arctan or atan)

tan(theta) = opposite side/ adjacent side

the vertical rise would be the opposite side, the horozontal distance would be the adjacent side

let rise = y
let distance= x
x=2y

so tan(theta) = y/2y
tan(theta) = 1/2

theta = atan(1/2)

grab a handy dandy calculator, unless you know this conversion off the top of your head
