6 0

Answer: P(odd) = 0.499

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of people = 20

Number of men = 12

Number of women = 8

Number of jury to be selected = 6

For the jury to have an odd number of women. it must have either of the three.

1. 1 woman , 5 men

2. 3 women, 3 men

3. 5 women, 1 man

The total possible ways of selecting the 6 people jury is;

N = 20C6 = 20!/6!(20-6)!

N = 38760

The possible ways of selecting;

Case 1 : 1 woman, 5 men

N1 = 8C1 × 12C5

N1 = 8 × 792 = 6336

Case 2 : 3 women , 3 men

N2 = 8C3 × 12C3

N2 = 12320

Case 3 : 5 women, 1 man

N3 = 8C5 × 12C1

N3 = 672

P(Odd) = (N1+N2+N3)/N

P(odd) = (6336+12320+672)/38760

P(odd) = 19328/38760

P(odd) = 0.499

Suppose that you and two friends go to a​ restaurant, which last month filled approximately 91.7 % of the orders correctly. comp
MrMuchimi
77.1% chance that all 3 orders are correct.
For three independent events to find the probability of each one occurring we multiply the probabilities together. .917*.917*.917 = .77109 or 77.1 percent chance of all three outcomes being favorable.

If the radius of the circle was doubled what effect would it have on the area
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the radius of a circle is doubled, the area of the circle will be quadrupled and the circumference will also be doubled. This makes sense because the area of a circle is directly proportional to the square of the radius of the circle (if the radius of a circle is increased x times, its area will be increased to x^2 times the original area), whereas the circumference is proportional to the size of the radius (if the radius of a circle is increased x times, its circumference will increase x times).

The graph of a quadratic function contains the points
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Shawn is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quadratic function is g(x) = a(x - h)² + k

Here (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Since this parabola passes through (0, 0), (1, 9) and (-1, 9), axis of symmetry is x = 0 and the vertex is (0, 0).

Therefore, equation of the parabola will be,

g(x) = a(x - 0)²+ 0

g(x) = ax²

for a point (1, 9) which lies on the graph,

9 = a(1)²

a = 9

g(x) = 9x² (here a > 1)

Therefore, f(x) is vertically stretched by a factor of 9 to form g(x).

Shawn is correct.
