In a group of 92 students 40 have brown eyes, 35 have hazel eyes, and 17 have blue eyes. Find the probability that a student pic

ked from this group at random either has hazel or brown eyes? Enter your answer as a fraction in the form a/b (for example 2/3, 5/7) or as an integer.

Answer:

as a fraction = 75/92

as a percentage = 81.52%

Step-by-step explanation:

total no of students = 92

probability that a student has hazel or brown eyes = Pr(hazel or brown)

but probability of a or b happening ie Pr(a or b) simply is Pr (a) +Pr (b)

therefore Pr(hazel or brown) = Pr(hazel)+ Pr(brown)

Pr(brown) = (no of brown eyes )/(total set of eyes)

= $40/92$ = 10/23

Pr( hazel) = (no of hazel eyes )/(total set of eyes)

= $35/92$ =35/92

hence Pr(hazel or brown) = (10/23) + (35/92) =75/92

so there's 75/92 probability (or 0.8 out of 1 chance )to choose either hazel or brown randomly

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the parabola with a focus of $(3,1)$ and directrix $y=5$ .

Considering the directrix, the quadratic graph must open downwards.

The equation of this parabola is given by the formula,

$(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola.

The axis of this parabola meets the directrix at $(3,5)$ .

Since the vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix,

$h=\frac{3+3}{2}=3$ and $k=\frac{5+1}{2}=3$ .

The equation of the parabola now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4p(y-3)$ .

Also $|p|$ is the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

$|p|=2$

This implies that $p=-2\:or\:2$ .

Since the parabola turns downwards,

$p=-2$ .

Our equation now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3)$ .

$(x-3)^2=-8(y-3)$ .

We make y the subject to get,

$y=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

This is the same as

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

Laura has $30 to spend on food for the week. Which inequality represents this? x < 30 x < 30 x > 30 x > 30

Llana [10]

X is less than or equal to $30, she can spend $30, she cant spend more, she can spend less.

The answer should look like X<30 with a line under the less than sign, i hope this helps.

X = $\frac{my}{m} = \frac{28}{19}$

Y = $\frac{mx}{m} = \frac{872}{95}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x and x = 0

parabola ; y = 20 - x^2

attached below is the detailed solution

M = $\frac{152}{3}$ б

Mx = $\frac{6976}{15}$ б

My = $\frac{224}{3}$ б

X = $\frac{my}{m} = \frac{28}{19}$

Y = $\frac{mx}{m} = \frac{872}{95}$
