Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

624 students

Since they’re only 3 parts more girls then boys and the number equals 144, you just have to divide 144 by 3. You’ll get 48

Multiply 5 and 8 by 48 to get 240 and 384 and add to get 624 which is the answer

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct options are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given that RS is parallel to DC, we have;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles on the same side of transversal)

Similarly;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles on the same side of transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD = (Reflexive property)

Therefore;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR Angle, Angle Angle (AAA) rule of congruency

2) Whereby  ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we therefore have;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR = SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

Inverting both sides

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC the above we have by cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC gives;

BR × SC = RD × BR → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BR).

g 78% of all Millennials drink Starbucks coffee at least once a week. Suppose a random sample of 50 Millennials will be selected
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

We know that n = 50 and p =0.78.

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

np=50*0.78=39  \geq 10

n(1-p)=50*(1-0.78)=11 \geq 10

Since both conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation and the distribution for the proportion is given by:

p \sim N (p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

With the following parameters:

\mu_ p = 0.78

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.78*(1-0.78)}{50}}= 0.0586

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".

Solution to the problem

We know that n = 50 and p =0.78.

We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.

np=50*0.78=39  \geq 10

n(1-p)=50*(1-0.78)=11 \geq 10

Since both conditions are satisfied we can use the normal approximation and the distribution for the proportion is given by:

p \sim N (p, \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})

With the following parameters:

\mu_ p = 0.78

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\frac{0.78*(1-0.78)}{50}}= 0.0586
