6 0

Answer:

6/11 = 0.545

Step-by-step explanation:

We use combination theory. The total number of ways in which 5 questions can be selected out of 11 is ¹¹C₅ since it is a random selection and order doesn't matter. The total number of ways in which the student can answer 5 questions with him knowing 10 out of 11 is ¹⁰C₅. Since it doesn't matter the order of questions he can answer out of the 11, we do not do ¹¹C₁₀ which is the number of ways he can choose correctly out of the 11 questions. The probability that he will get the answer right = event space/ sample space = ¹⁰C₅/¹¹C₅ = \frac{10!}{5!5!}÷\frac{11!}{5!6!} = 6/11 = 0.545

Find the solution of the system of equations.<br> 2.x + 4y = -14<br> – 2y = 9
White raven [17]

Answer:

x = 4, y = -9/2 (-4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the second equation, we can divide both sides by -2 and get

y = 9/-2

y = -9/2

Then, we plug this y value into the first equation and get:

x + 4(-9/2) = -14

Simplify:

x - 18 = -14

x = 4

What is 22/7 in decimal form
vlada-n [284]
<span>22:7 as a common fraction is 22/7 and to convert to a decimal fraction divide 7 into 22. I got 22/7 = 3.142857... Rounded to the nearest hundredth this is 3.14. If you perform the same operations with 22:5 then 22/5 = 4.4 and you don't need to round.</span>

Does this graph show a function? Explain how you know.
Aleks [24]

Answer: A. No; the graph fails the vertical line test.


Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see that the vertical lines crosses the graph more than once , Hence it is not a function.


To check if given graph is a function or not , we draw random vertical lines on the graph, if the vertical lines crosses the graph only once then It is a function.

But if any vertical line crossed the graph more than once ,that is at more than one point, than it is not a function.


As we can see here that Vertical lines crosses the graph more than once, at more than one point ,

Hence it is not a function.

Find the length of the longest line segment that can be drawn on a rectangular board 3.07 m by 2.24 m.
Luden [163]

Step-by-step explanation:

For rectangle

l=3.07m

b=2.24m

so longest side that can be drawn is diagonal of rectangular board

=squareroot l^2+b^2

=squareroot3.07^2+2.24^2

=squareroot9.4249+5.0176

=squareroot14.4425

=3.80

So longest line that can be drawn in rectangular board is 3.80m
