Answer:

It is stucked on the 9th floor

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know the floor on which the elevator is stucked.

The main lobby is the ground floor and has a value of 0 floor

Ascends four floors with 6 people from the lobby

It is now on floor 4

Ascends another two so it is now on floor 4 + 2 = 6

Ascends another 2, then descend descends 3

That will be 6 + 2 -3 = 5th floor

Ascends 8 more , then descend 2

That will be 5 + 8 -2 = 11

Descends another 2, making 11 - 2 = 9

It is stucked on floor 9

Kindly note, when it ascends, that is a positive value, when it descends, that is a negative

Answer:

liam

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 25% × x = 150

or,  

25

100

× x = 150

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 25,

we have x = 150 ×  

100

25

x = 600

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 150×100÷25, which will give you the answer.

Answer:

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

B. 1/5k - 2/3j and -1/5k +2/3j

There is a change in the signs of each term

1/5k changed to -1/5k

-2/3j changed to +2/3j

Not equivalent

C. 1/5k - 2/3j and 1/5j - 2/3k

There is a change in the variables

1/5k changed to 1/5j

-2/3j changed to -2/3k

D. 1/5k - 2/3j and 2/3j - 1/5k

The is a change in the signs of each term

1/5k changed to -1/5k

-2/3j changed to +2/3j

The only equivalent expression is

A. 1/5k - 2/3j and -2/3j +1/5k

How do trapezoid ABCD and A'B'C'D compare
Taya2010 [7]
Trapezoid ABCD was the original figure for trapezoid A'B'C'D. They are similar because they are the same shape, Trapezoid A'B'C'D is slightly bigger or smaller because it was dilated from trapezoid ABCD.

A company surveyed 2,600 North American airline passengers and reported that approximately 75% said that they carry a smartphone
geniusboy [140]

The probability that exactly six out of ten carry a smartphone when travelling is; <u><em>P(6) = 0.146</em></u>

The missing part of the question is;

The probability distribution of x is the binomial distribution with n = 10 and p = 0.75.

Calculate P(6)

  • This is a binomial <em>probability distribution</em> problem that has a general formula as; P(x) = ⁿCₓ × pˣ × q⁽ⁿ ⁻ ˣ⁾

Where;

p is probability of success

q is probability of failure

n is number of experiments

In this question;

n = 10

p = 75% = 0.75

q = 1 - p

q = 1 - 0.75

q = 0.25

Since six passengers are randomly selected, then applying the formula earlier quoted, we have;

P(6) = ¹⁰C₆ × 0.75⁶ × 0.25⁽¹⁰ ⁻ ⁶⁾

P(6) = 0.146
