Answer:

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a married couple in nonadjacent desks is the total number of probabilities minus the probabilities of having them in adjacent places divide by total number of outcomes

The total possibilities (outcomes) of 9 elements in a row is:

P(₉) = 9!

P(₉) = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₉) = 362880

And the outcomes in which they are adjacent to each other is:

We consider them as one unit them we in this situation have 8 elements

P(₈) = 8!

P(₈) = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₈) = 40320

Then the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks is:

P = P(₉)  -  P(₈) / P(₉)

P =  362880 - 40320 / 362880

P = 322560/ 362880

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

Olin [163]

Answer:

  • C. 3.0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Lets calculate the points:</u>

  • Art - 2 hrs - B (3)                ⇒ 2*3 = 6 points
  • History - 3 hrs - A (4)         ⇒ 3*4 = 12 points
  • Science - 4 hrs - C (2)       ⇒ 4*2 = 8 points
  • Math - 3 hrs - B (3)            ⇒ 3*3 = 9 points
  • Lab - 1 hr - A (4)                 ⇒ 1*4 = 4 points

<u>Totals</u>

  • Total hours = 13            
  • Total points = 39

<u>GPA = total points/ total hours</u>

  • GPA = 39/13 = 3.0

Correct option is C

Find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified axis. y = 64x−8x^2,
Mandarinka [93]
We need to get the limits first. When y = 0
0 = 64x - 8x^2
x = 0 and x = 8
The volume is
V = ∫ y dx from 0 to 8
V = ∫ (64x - 8x^2) dx from 0 to 8
V = 32x^2 - 8x^3/3 from 0 to 8
V = 682.67<span />
