Answer: E) 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of any member being selected for each of the 3 posts is 1/10 that is they have equal probabilities of being selected for any of the posts.

The probability that harry would be selected for;

Secretary Ps= 1/10

Treasurer Pt = 1/10

So the probability of being selected for either secretary or treasurer is

P = Ps + Pt

P = 1/10 + 1/10

P = 2/10

P = 1/5

Note: ignore the sequence of selection

Subtract (r - 3q + 5p) - (-4r - 3q - 8p)
Alex787 [66]

Answer: ok so Let's simplify step-by-step.

r−3q+5p−(−4r−3q−8p)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=r−3q+5p+−1(−4r−3q−8p)

=r+−3q+5p+−1(−4r)+−1(−3q)+−1(−8p)

=r+−3q+5p+4r+3q+8p

Combine Like Terms:

=r+−3q+5p+4r+3q+8p

=(5p+8p)+(−3q+3q)+(r+4r)

=13p+5r

An artist creates a right prism whose base are regular pentagons. He wants to paints the lateral surfaces of the prism. One can
Usimov [2.4K]
He needs 13 cans of paint.

The lateral area is given by the area of 5 rectangles, whose dimensions are 15 by 5:
5(15)(5) = 375

Divide this by 30:
375/30 = 12.5 ≈ 13

Please help!! the table shows the number of hours that a group of friends spent in their first week training to run a marathon.
saw5 [17]
So if they all add 4 hours to their time then they have:
Jeff 9
Mark 14
Karen 9
Costas 13
Brett 11
Nikki 9
Jack 11

so now to find the mean you add all the numbers together to get 76 and then you divide it by the number of people (7 people) so 76 divided by 7 equals 10.8571429 and that's the mean.

Now to find the median you put all the numbers in order from least to greatest: 9;9;9;11;11;13;14 and you take the number in the middle but since both 11 and 11 are in the middle you take the mean of them and the mean of them is 11 so the median of the numbers is 11

now to find the range you take the largest number (14) and you subtract the smallest number (9) so 14 - 9 is 5 so 5 is the range

and last the mode is the number that is repeated most out of all the numbers so the mode would be 9
