Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a convenience store regularly buys mangoes from a wholesale dealer. For every shipment, the manager randomly inspects five mangoes from a box containing 20 mangoes for damages due to transportation. Suppose the chosen box contains exactly 2 damaged mangoes.

In the selected box 18 good mangoes and 2 damaged mangoes are there

a) Find the probability that the first mango is not damaged.

= prob of selecting 1 from any one of 18 good mangoes = \frac{18}{20} =0.90

b. Find the probability that neither of the mangoes is damaged. =

Prob of selecting 2 from 18 good mangoes

=\frac{18C2}{20C2} =0.5276

c. Find the probability that both mangoes are damaged.

= Prob of selecting 2 from 2 bad mangoes

=\frac{2C2}{20C2} =0.005263

A sales associate farms a neighborhood with 750 homes. The owners seem to list their homes every six years. How many listings sh
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

50 homes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total Number of homes = 750

Years at which home is listed = 6

Thus average listing per year = (total number of homes / years)

Average listing per year = 750 / 6

Average listing per year = 125 homes

If 40% of homes in the neighborhood can be listed :

0.4 * 125

= 50 homes

Without plotting points, let M=(-2,-1), N=(3,1), M'= (0,2), and N'=(5, 4). Without using the distanceformula, show that segments
kramer

Given:

M=(x1, y1)=(-2,-1),

N=(x2, y2)=(3,1),

M'=(x3, y3)= (0,2),

N'=(x4, y4)=(5, 4).

We can prove MN and M'N' have the same length by proving that the points form the vertices of a parallelogram.

For a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal

If we prove that the quadrilateral MNN'M' forms a parallellogram, then MN and M'N' will be the oppposite sides. So, we can prove that MN=M'N'.

To prove MNN'M' is a parallelogram, we have to first prove that two pairs of opposite sides are parallel,

Slope of MN= Slope of M'N'.

Slope of MM'=NN'.

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MN=}\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ =\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{Slope of M'N'=}\frac{y4-y3}{x4-x3} \\ =\frac{4-2}{5-0} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MN=Slope of M'N' and therefore, MN parallel to M'N'

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MM'=}\frac{y3-y1}{x3-x1} \\ =\frac{4-(-1)}{5-(-2)} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \\ \text{Slope of NN'=}\frac{y4-y2}{x4-x2} \\ =\frac{4-1}{5-3} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MM'=Slope of NN' nd therefore, MM' parallel to NN'.

Since both pairs of opposite sides of MNN'M' are parallel, MM'N'N is a parallelogram.

Since the opposite sides are of equal length in a parallelogram, it is proved that segments MN and M'N' have the same length.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer: 79

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Graduation Rates:

Grade:82

Weight: 50%

Passing Rates:

Grade: 75

Weight: 30%

Enrollment Numbers:

Grade: 60

Weight: 10%

Career readiness:

Grade: 95

Weight: 10%

Overall score : Σ(grade × weight)

(82 × 50%) + (75 × 30%) + (60 × 10%) + (95 × 10%)

= (41 + 22.5 + 6 + 9.5)

= 79

Hence, overall score is 79
