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

An initial number of bacteria presented in a culture is 1,000. This number triples every 30 minutes. Write a function expressing
Svetlanka [38]
Tripiling time is
A=P(3)^ \frac{t}{r}
t=time elapsed
r=tripling time
P=initial amount


so


A=1000(3)^ \frac{t}{30}
when time is measured in minutes
if measured in hours then

A=1000(3)^{2t} orA=1000(9)^{t}

0.75,1.75,2.75,3.75 is arithmetic or geometric?
Semenov [28]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Arithmetic


Discussion:

First glance at the numbers shows each term is 1 larger than the preceding terms. So we are adding the constant 1 to each term to get the next term. This is an arithmetic progression.

Thank you,

MrB

No comprendo. I'm doing a test review and I'm screwed​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

sin theta = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 53 = 4/x

Multiply each side by x

x sin 53 = 4/x *x

x sin 53 = 4

Divide each side by sin 53

x sin 53 / sin 53 = 4 / sin 53

x = 4 /sin 53

x = 5.008542633

To the nearest whole number

x = 5
