Copernicus proposed a heliocentric model in which the earth revolved around the sun, not the other way, and this went against what the church was saying at the time: the church, which insisted it is always right, said that the sun revolver around the earth.


The correct answer is: <span>C. His scientific discoveries undermined the power of the Church. </span>

About 3% of the population has a particular genetic mutation. 600 people are randomly selected.
Annette [7]

Answer:

<em>Standard deviation  for the number of people with the genetic mutation = 4.178</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Given random sample size 'n' =600

proportion of the Population 'p'=3% or  0.03

Let 'X' be the random variable in binomial distribution

Mean of the  binomial distribution

                              μ = n p

                                 = 600 X 0.03

                                = 18

<em>Mean of the  binomial distribution ' μ ' =18</em>

<em>Standard deviation of the binomial distribution</em>

<em>                                 σ = </em>\sqrt{npq} = \sqrt{600 X 0.03 X 0.97} = \sqrt{17.46} = 4.178

<u><em>Conclusion:</em></u><em>-</em>

<em>Standard deviation  for the number of people with the genetic mutation = 4.178</em>

The line x = k intersects the graph of the parabola x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5 at exactly one point. What is k? Thank you! :)
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

49/8 is the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the system

x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5

x=k

We want to find k such that the system intersects once.

If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.

This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.

Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.

Subtracting k on both sides gives

0=-2y^2-3y+5-k

The discriminant can be found by evaluating

b^2-4ac.

Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that

a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.

So we want to solve the following equation for k:

(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0

9+8(5-k)=0

Distribute:

9+40-8k=0

49-8k=0

Add 8k on both sides:

49=8k

Divide both sides by 8"

49/8=k

Else purchased a prepaid phone card for $15. Long distance calls cost 6 cents a minute using this card. Elsa used her card only
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract the original amount on the card from the remaining amount left.

So you can get the amount of money spent on that call.

$15 - $13.50 = $1.50

Then you divide that number by how much it cost per minute.

$1.50 ÷ 6 = 0.25

Then you get your answer!

She was on the phone for 25 minutes

3.75x = 3<br> how to do this, please help.
Travka [436]

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

you divide both sides by 3.75 (because its multiplied) so the 3.75 connected to the x cancels out and your left with x on the left and 3 over 3.75 equals 0.8 so its x = 0.8
