Assuming that you want to add or subtract them and want the bottom number the same,

1/4 and 2/3

least common multiple of 4 and 3

4=2 times 2
3=3 times 1
so the leas common mulltiple will include all of them
the number is 2 times 2 times 3 or 12

lcm=12

1/4 times 3/3=3/12
2/3 times 4/4=8/12

add or subtract 3 and 8

LCM=12

Which graph shows a linear function?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You have shared only one graph, that of a quadratic function with vertex at (0, 0) and an equation based upon y = ax^2, where a is a constant coefficient.

Please go back to the source of your question and describe the other graphs that were given to you.

The graph that shows a straight line is the linear function.

Graph the image of the given triangle under a dilation with a scale factor of 1/4 and center of dilation (0, 0)

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The image in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The dimensions of the image of the given triangle are equal to the original dimensions of the pre-image multiplied by the scale factor

In this problem the scale factor is 1/4

The height of the pre-image is 4 units

The base of the pre-image is 8 units

Find out the dimensions of the image

The height of the image is $(4)\frac{1}{4}=1\ unit$

The base of the image is $(8)\frac{1}{4}=2\ units$

The image in the attached figure

Suppose approximately 75% of all marketing personnel are extroverts, whereas about 70% of all computer programmers are introvert

Setler [38]

Answer:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1.000$ ---- At least 5 from marketing departments are extroverts

$P(x=15) = 0.013$ ---- All from marketing departments are extroverts

$P(x = 0) = 0.002$ ---------- None from computer programmers are introverts

Step-by-step explanation:

See comment for complete question

The question is an illustration of binomial probability where

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$(a):\ P(x \ge 5)$

$n = 15$ --- marketing personnel

$p = 75\%$ --- proportion that are extroverts

Using the complement rule, we have:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)$

So, we have:

$P(x < 5) =P(x = 0) + P(x = 1) + P(x = 2) + P(x = 3) + P(x = 4)$

$P(x = 0) = ^{15}C_{0} * (75\%)^0 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 0} = 1 * 1 * (0.25)^{15} = 9.31 * 10^{-10}$

$P(x = 1) = ^{15}C_{1} * (75\%)^1 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 1} = 15* (0.75)^1 * (0.25)^{14} = 4.19 * 10^{-8}$

$P(x = 2) = ^{15}C_{2} * (75\%)^2 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 2} = 105* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{13} = 8.80 * 10^{-7}$

$P(x = 3) = ^{15}C_{3} * (75\%)^3 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 3} = 455* (0.75)^2 * (0.25)^{12} = 0.0000153$

$P(x = 4) = ^{15}C_{4} * (75\%)^4 * (1 - 75\%)^{15 - 4} = 1365 * (0.75)^4 * (0.25)^{11} = 0.000103$

So, we have:

$P(x < 5) = (9.31 * 10^{-10}) + (4.19 * 10^{-8}) + (8.80 * 10^{-7}) + 0.0000153 + 0.000103$

$P(x < 5) = 0.00011922283$

Recall that:

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)$

$P(x \ge 5) = 1 - 0.00011922283$

$P(x \ge 5) = 0.9998$

$P(x \ge 5) = 1.000$ --- approximated

$(b)\ P(x = 15)$

$n = 15$ --- marketing personnel

$p = 75\%$ --- proportion that are extroverts

So, we have:

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$P(x=15) = ^{15}C_{15} * 0.75^{15} * (1 - 0.75)^{15-15}$

$P(x=15) = 1 * 0.75^{15} * (0.25)^{0$

$P(x=15) = 0.013$

$(c)\ P(x = 0)$

$n=5$ ---------- computer programmers

$p = 70\%$ --- proportion that are introverts

So, we have:

$P(x) = ^nC_x * p^x * (1 - p)^{n-x}$

$P(x = 0) = ^{5}C_0 * (70\%)^0 * (1 - 70\%)^{5-0}$

$P(x = 0) = 1 * 1 * (0.30)^5$

$P(x = 0) = 0.002$
