Answer:

1 in 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = success / (success + failure)

Odds = success / failure

The probability is 8%, which means in a group of 100 people, 8 will catch the flu and 92 will not.  So the odds are 8/92, which reduces to 1/11.5, or approximately 1/12.

What is the simplest form of the expression -2x^2(x+5)+x(2x^2-10x)+x
Softa [21]
For this case we have the following expression:
 -2x ^ 2 (x + 5) + x (2x ^ 2-10x) + x
 Rewriting we have:
 -2x ^ 3 - 10x ^ 2 + 2x ^ 3 - 10x ^ 2 + x
 Grouping terms with the same exponent:
 x ^ 3 (-2 + 2) + x ^ 2 (-10 - 10) + x
 -20x ^ 2 + x
 Rewriting:
 x (-20x + 1)
 Answer:
 
The simple form of the expression is:
 
x (-20x + 1)
