Answer:

132 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Smith offers to take extra help session for students after school

The day after the help session 11 of his students were talking and found out that only 2 had stayed up for the help session

= 2/11

There were actually a total number of 24 students that stayed

We are asked to find the number of student that Mr Smith teaches throughout the day

Let x represent the number of students that were taught during the day

Therefore, the number of student that Mr Smith teaches during the day can be calculated as follows

2/11=24/x

Cross multiply both sides

2 × x = 24 × 11

2x= 264

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2=264/2

x= 132

Hence Mr Smith teaches 132 students during the day.

4-member curling team is randomly chosen from 6 grade 11 students and 8 grade 12 students. What is the probability that the team
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

0.5944 = 59.44% probability that the team has at least 2 grade 11 students

Step-by-step explanation:

The students are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

We have that:

6 + 8 = 14 students, which means that N = 14

6 grade 11 students means that k = 6

Teams of 4 members means that n = 4

What is the probability that the team has at least 2 grade 11 students?

This is:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 0) = h(0,14,4,6) = \frac{C_{6,0}*C_{8,4}}{C_{14,4}} = 0.0699

P(X = 1) = h(1,14,4,6) = \frac{C_{6,1}*C_{8,3}}{C_{14,4}} = 0.3357

Then

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0699 + 0.3357 = 0.4056

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.4056 = 0.5944

0.5944 = 59.44% probability that the team has at least 2 grade 11 students

Explain how the Associative Property can be used to mentally find the volume of the prisms shown
Leona [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

A prism is a solid object having two identical bases, hence the same cross section along the length. This is a rectangular prism its base is a rectangle. multiplying the three dimensions of a rectangular prism: length, width and height, gives us the volume of a prism:

V=L\times W\times H

Therefore, Associative Property can be used to mentally find the volume of the prisms shown by selecting the easier way of the multiplication. For instance, we can say that:

L=5cm \\ \\ W=18cm \\ \\ H=20cm

In whose case:

V=5\times 18\times 20

To operate this mentally is not an easy way, but<em> what if we rotate this shape? </em>so we say that:

L=18cm \\ \\ W=20cm \\ \\ H=5cm

Then, the volume can be found as:

V=18\times 20\times 5

There are two forms of finding the result. First, multiplying 18 by 20 and then the result by 5, but as in the previous case this is a tricky way to do mentally:

V=(18\times 20)\times 5

Hence, here we can use Associative Property multiplying 20 by 5 and then the result by 18:

V=18\times (20\times 5)

This last arrangement is easier because 20 x 5 is easy to remember given that the result is 100. Then, by multiplying this result by 18 then we get 1800.
