Answer:

0. 4329

Step by step explanation

Since both groups will have the same number of men, we would guarantee each group consists of three women and three men.

So theprobability is (6, 3)·(6, 3)/(12, 6)=100/231.

Answer:

P(A) = 400/924 = 100/231 or 0.4329

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that both groups will have the same number of men P(A);

For the two groups to have the same number of men they must include 3 men and 3 women in each group.

P(A) = Number of possible selections of 3 men from 6 and 3 women from 6 into each of the two groups N(S) ÷ total number of possible selections of members into the two groups N(T).

P(A) = N(S)/N(T)

Since order is not important, we will use combination.

N(S) = 6C3 × 6C3 = 20 × 20 = 400

N(T) = 12C6 = 924

P(A) = 400/924 = 100/231 or 0.4329

the inequality |t-57|<7 describes the range of monthly average temperature, T, in Degrees Fahrenheit, for san Francisco, Cali

Y_Kistochka [10]

<u>Solution</u> is: $50\leq T\leq 64$ and it means, the minimum temperature is 50° Fahrenheit and the maximum temperature is 64° Fahrenheit.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Given inequality is: $|T-57|\leq 7$

As this is absolute inequality, so we will get two different inequalities-- one for positive and another for negative. So.....

$T-57\leq 7\\ \\ T\leq 7+57\\ \\ T\leq 64$

and

$-(T-57)\leq 7\\ \\ -T+57\leq 7\\ \\ -T\leq 7-57\\ \\ -T\leq -50\\ \\ T\geq 50$

So, the final combined solution will be: $50\leq T\leq 64$

<em>It means that the minimum temperature for San Francisco, California is 50° Fahrenheit and the maximum temperature is 64° Fahrenheit.</em>

Simplify the function f(x)= 1/2 (27) 2x/3. Then determine the key aspects of the function

jeyben [28]

The given expression is:

$f(x)= \frac{1}{2}(27)^{ \frac{2x}{3} } \\ \\ 
f(x)= \frac{1}{2}((27)^{ \frac{2}{3} })^{x} \\ \\ 
f(x)= \frac{1}{2}(9)^{x}$

From the above equation, we can answer all the 4 questions.

a) Initial value occurs when x = 0

So,

$f(0)= \frac{1}{2}(9)^{0}= \frac{1}{2}$

So, the Initial value of the function is 1/2.

b) Simplified Base:
The base of an exponential function is the term which contains the exponent.
From the simplified equation, we can see that the base has been simplified and is equal to 9.

So, the simplified base is 9

c) Domain:
From the equation we can see that there is no such value which makes the function undefined. So all reall numbers are included in the Domain.

So, Domain is Set of All real numbers.
In Interval notation this can be expressed as: (-∞,∞)

d) Range:
Range is the set of all y values that a function can take. Since the graph is not shifted vertically up or down, the range will be the set of all real numbers greater than zero.

So, Range is equal to All real numbers greater than 0.
In Interval notation, this can be expressed as (0,∞)

Circles are described below by the coordinates of their centers, C, and one point on their circumference, A. Determine an equati

Art [367]

Using the given center and point at the circumference, the equation of the circles are:

a) $(x - 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 100$

b) $(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 169$

c) $(x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 65$

<h3>What is the equation of a circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle of radius r and center $(x_0,y_0)$ is given by:

$(x - x_0)^2 + (y - y_0)^2 = r^2$

Item a:

Center C(5,2), hence $x_0 = 5, y_0 = 2$ .

The point at the circumference is A(11,10), hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = r^2$

$(11 - 5)^2 + (10 - 2)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 100$

Hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 100$

Item b:

Center C(-2,-5), hence $x_0 = -2, y_0 = -5$ .

The point at the circumference is A(3,-17), hence:

$(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = r^2$

$(3 + 2)^2 + (-17 - 5)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 169$

Hence:

$(x + 2)^2 + (y + 5)^2 = 169$

Item c:

Center C(5,-1), hence $x_0 = 5, y_0 = -1$ .

The point at the circumference is A(-2,-5), hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = r^2$

$(-2 - 5)^2 + (-5 + 1)^2 = r^2$

$r^2 = 65$

Hence:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 65$
