Answer:

<h3>720 different ways</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement. If r objevt selected from n pool of objects are to be arranged in a straight line, this can be done in nPr number of ways.

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

If 5 people are to be chosen and arranged in a straight line, if there are 6 people to choose from, this can be done in 6P5 numbe of ways.

6P5 = 6!/(6-5)!

6P5 = 6!/1!

6P5 = 6*5*4*3*2*1

6P5 = 720 different ways

Line ET is tangent to circle A at point T and the measure of angle TNG is 35.

STALIN [3.7K]

ET is tangent to circle A so ET is perpendicular to AT

So <ATE = 90°

Given <TNG = 35°

<NET = <ATE - <TNG

= 90° - 35°

= 55°

Answer is 55°

The general form of an parabola is 2x2−12x−3y+12=0 .

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The standard form of the parabola is $(x-3)^2=4*\frac{3}{8}(y+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is

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

In order to convert $2x^2-12x-3y+12=0$ into the standard form, we first separate the variables:

$2x^2-12x+3y+12=0\\\\2x^2-12x+12=3y$

we now divided both sides by 2 to remove the coefficient from $2x^2$ and get:

$x^2-6x+6=\frac{3}{2}y$ .

We complete the square on the left side by adding 3 to both sides:

$x^2-6x+6+3=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

$x^2-6x+9=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

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

now we bring the right side into the form $4p(y-k)$ by first multiplying the equation by $\frac{2}{3}$ :

$\frac{2}{3} *(x-3)^2=\frac{2}{3} *(\frac{3}{2}y+3)\\\\\frac{2}{3} *(x-3)^2=y+2$

and then we multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ to get

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

Here we see that

$4p=\frac{3}{2}$

$\therefore p=\frac{3}{8}$

Thus, finally we have the equation of the parabola in the standard form:

$\boxed{(x-3)^2=4*\frac{3}{8}(y+2)}$

Stereo speakers are manufactured with a probability of 0.100.10 being defective. TwentyTwenty speakers are randomly selected. Le

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The expected value of X is 2 with a standard deviation of 1.34.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each speaker, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of a speaker being defective is independent of other speakers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
