The probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir is \boxed{25\% }..

Further explanation:

The probability is the chance of any event.

The probability can be obtained as the ratio of favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes

\boxed{{\text{Probability}} = \frac{{{\text{Favorable number of outcome}}}}{{{\text{Total number of outcomes}}}}}.

Given:

There are 1000 people in a small town, 500 are members of choir. Out of which 100 are men.

There are 500 inhabitants that are not in a choir.

Explanation:

There are total 1000 members.

The number of men that are member of choir is 100.

There are 500 members in a choir and 100 members are men.

The total number of man is 300 + 100 = 400.

Consider an event A man is a member of choir.

Consider an event B that man is randomly selected.

The probability of event A can be calculated as follows,

P\left( {A \cap B} \right) = \dfrac{{100}}{{1000}}

The probability of event B can be calculated as follows,

P\left( B \right) = \dfrac{{400}}{{1000}}

The probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir can be expressed as follows,

\begin{gathered}  {\text{Probability}} = \frac{{P\left( {A \cap B} \right)}}{{P\left( B \right)}} \\    = \frac{{\dfrac{{100}}{{1000}}}}{{\dfrac{{400}}{{1000}}}} \\    = \dfrac{{100}}{{400}} \\    = 0.25 \\    = 25\%  \\ \end{gathered}

The probability that a randomly drawn man is a member of the choir is \boxed{25\% }.

Help! This is so confusing please
Rus_ich [418]

Given equation is f(x)=6^x

Now it says to find f(2)

that simply means plug x=2 because we see that 2 is written in place of x in f(x) and f(2)

f(2)=6^2

f(2)=6*6

f(2)=36

Hence final answer is f(2)=36

natka813 [3]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

C. The playable area has a width of 9 inches and a height of 6 inches.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are a number of ways you can get there.

1. Check the answers to see which have the right area and aspect ratio.

  • A: area = 24 in² — does not match 54 in²
  • B: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 6:9 = 2:3 — does not match 3:2 aspect ratio
  • C: area = 54 in², aspect ratio 9:6 = 3:2 — <em>matches problem statement</em>
  • D: area = 121.5 in² — does not match 54 in²

2. If the screen were 3:2 (inches), its area would be 6 in². The area of 54 in² is 9 times that value, so the actual screen dimensions are √9 = 3 times 3:2. That is, they are width:height = 9:6 inches — matches selection C.

3. You can write equations for width and height and solve.

  • w/h = 3/2
  • wh = 54

Substituting w=3/2·h into the second equation gives

... (3/2)h·h = 54

... h² = 36 . . . . . multiply by 2/3

... h = √36 = 6 . . . . square root, result in inches . . . . matches selection C
