Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.

Answer:

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation =69x + 2 = 140

= 69x = 140 - 2

69x = 138

69 divided by 69 = 138 divided by 68

x = 2

A real estate agent has 12 properties that she shows. She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a

Ronch [10]

Answer:

0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each property, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are sold, or they are not. The chance of selling any one property is independent of selling another property, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

A real estate agent has 12 properties that she shows.

This means that $n = 12$

She feels that there is a 30% chance of selling any one property during a week.

This means that $p = 0.3$

Compute the probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

2 or less sold, which is:

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.3)^{0}.(0.7)^{12} = 0.0138$

$P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.3)^{1}.(0.7)^{11} = 0.0712$

$P(X = 2) = C_{12,2}.(0.3)^{2}.(0.7)^{10} = 0.1678$

Then

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0138 + 0.0712 + 0.1678 = 0.2528$

0.2528 = 25.28% probability of selling no more than 2 properties in one week.

Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH. What is the length of<br> segment BC?

prohojiy [21]

So Basically, these are similar. So that means that (2x/5.5)=(3x-3/7.5). Then when you cross multiply, you find that x=11. So that means BA/FE=22/5.5=4. You can verify by checking (3*11-3)/7.4=4. So now that you know the scale factor is 4, just do 4*8=32.
