Answer:

The correct answer is B. 5/26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall what is the formula of the probability of any event:

Probability of an event= Number of favorable outcome/Total number of favorable outcomes

Then, replacing with the values of our question:

Probability of selecting a vowel = Number of vowels/Total number of letters of the alphabet

Probability of selecting a vowel = 5/26

The correct answer is B. 5/26.

Blake is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 1.5% compounded quarterly. How much would Blake need to invest

Answer:

$783.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Compounded interest rate (quarterly) formula: A = P(1 + r/4)^4t

Simply plug in our known variables and solve:

910 = P(1 + 0.015/4)^4(10)

910 = P(1.00375)^40

910 = 1.16151P

P = 783.464

Answer:

x = 6.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 given squares are the on the legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse x

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 legs , then

x² = 13 + 29.25 = 42.25 ( take square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{42.25}$ = 6.5 units

PLEASE HELLLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the types of numbers.

Real numbers: a value that represents a quantity along a continuous line

ex: 1, 5, -6, 0.125, 45.5258,

Integer: Zero, any positive or negative number

ex: -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....

Whole numbers: a number without fractions [not negative]

ex: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....

Rational numbers: any number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction

ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Irrational numbers: any number that can't be expressed at the quotient or fraction

ex: pi, [3.14.... (never ending decimal)] square root of 2....

Based on this information, the false statment would be A. I believe, because

pi is a real number and it is an irrational number.

I hope this helps!!! :)

A and b are positive integers and a-b=2. Evaluate the following: 9^1/2b/3^a

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{ 9 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge \frac{ {9}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ = \huge \frac{ {( {3}^{2} )}^{ \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ = \huge \frac{ { {3}}^{2 \times \frac{1}{2}b } }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{ {3}^{b} }{ {3}^{a} } \\ \\ \huge = \frac{1}{ {3}^{a - b} } \\ \\ \huge= \frac{1}{ {3}^{2} } \\ ( \because \: a - b = 2)\\ \\ \huge = \frac{1}{ 9 }$
