Hello,

AP =  arithmetic progression

Step-by-step explanation:

b + a = 18

18 + 3a = 486 ⇔ 3a = 468 ⇔ a = 156

b = 18 - a = 18 - 156 = -138

Miya flips a coin and rolls a 6-sided number cube labled 1-6 and records tge outcome. About how many times is she likely to flip
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space :

6 sided cube = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Coin = (H, T)

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability of head (H) = P(H) = 1 /2 = 0.5

Probability of 3 = P(3) = 1 /6 = 0.166666

Probability of heads and 3 on a single try = p(H) * p(3) = 0.5 * 0.166666 = 0.083333

Hence, expected number of times this is likely to occur in 48 tries :

0.083333 * 48 = 4

As voters exit the polls, you ask a representative random sample of voters if they voted for a proposition. If the true percenta
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The probability is 0.057797

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that true percentage of voters who vote for the proposition is 63%,

Let p is probability of success.

According to the binomial distribution:

P(x;p,n)=^nC_x(p)^x(1-p)^{(n-x)}

Substitute n=7, p=0.63 and x=2 in the above formula.

P(x;p,n)=^7C_2(0.63)^2(1-0.63)^{(7-2)}

P(x;p,n)=\frac{7!}{2!5!}(0.3969)(0.37)^{5}\\P(x;p,n)=21(0.3969)(0.37)^{5}\\P(x;p,n)=0.0577974947199\\P(x;p,n)\approx0.057797

Hence, the probability is 0.057797

If x and y vary directly and x=25 when y=100 find x when y=24.<br> PLEASE HELP FASTTTTTTT
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that x and y vary directly then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition x = 25 when y = 100 , then

100 = 25k ( divide both sides by 25 )

4 = k

y = 4x ← equation of variation

When y = 24 , then

24 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

6 = x

Kobotan [32]
121 x 12 = 1452 so over 1500 is not a correct estimate. Less than 1500 is the right estimate
