Answer:

116,280 different leadership structures are possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The order is important.

For example, a Committee of John, Elisa, Laura and Rose means that John is the chairperson, Elisa the vice-chairperson, Laura the secretary and Rose the treasurer. If we exchange John and Elisa, their roles are also exchanged. This means that we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

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

How many different leadership structures are possible

Permutations of 4 elements from a set of 20. So

P_{(20,4)} = \frac{20!}{(20-4)!} = 116280

116,280 different leadership structures are possible

The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately 1/33 according to the Centers for Disease Contr
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution,

X \sim Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> can be defined as the number of American births resulting in a defect.

The proportion of American births that result in a birth defect is approximately <em>p</em> = 1/33.

A random sample of <em>n</em> = 5 American births are selected.

It is assumed that the births are independent, i.e. a birth can be defective or not is independent of the other births.

In this experiment the success is defined as a defective birth.

The random variable <em>X</em> satisfies all criteria of a Binomial distribution.

The criteria are:

  • Number of observations is constant
  • Independent trials
  • Each trial has only two outcomes: Success and Failure
  • Same probability of success for each trial

Thus, the appropriate probability model for X is a Binomial distribution, Bin (<em>n</em> = 5, <em>p</em> = 1/33).

Hello! :)
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent because if each triangle's angles add up 180 degrees, you can deduce that the triangles have atleast two congruent angles.

Triangle RST:

48 + 73 = 121

180 - 121 = 59

Angle R = 59

Angle T = 48

Angle S = 73

59 + 48 + 73 = 180

Triangle ABC:

73 + 59 = 132

180 - 132 = 48

Angle A = 59

Angle B = 73

Angle C = 48

59 + 48 + 73 = 180

A car dealership pays a wholesome price of $12,000 to purchase a vehicle. The car dealership wants to make a 32% profit. The car
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

$102.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take this one part at a time.

the dealership pays 12000 for the car, so they start at -12000 for how much money they have.

The dealership wants to make a 32% profit.  This means they want to make back the 12000 plus 32% of that.  what is 32% of 12000?  just multiply 12000 bty .32  In the end it works out that the price they sell it for is 15840

I do want to mention that there is a chance the 32% might also be accounting the bonus.  So in other words the dealership spent 12000 for the car then however much in paying the bonus, and they want to make a 32% profit on both of these combined.  I do not think that is what it is asking for, but I wanted to mention it.

Anyway, with a sales price of $15,840 it says the bonus is 6.5% of that.  to find that just do the multiplication .065 * 15840 = 1029.60.  So this is the bonus normally.

Now the question says the salesperson offers a 10 percent discount.  This changes the sales price (by 10%) and the bonus they earn.  let's calculate both.

First 10% discount of the sales price is .9*15840 = 14,256

Then 6.5% of that is .065*14256 = 926.64 So this is the new bonus.

The question wants the difference of the two bonuses, and difference is subtraction.  so 1029.60 - 926.64 = 102.96 So if the salesperson offers a 10% discount they lose $102.96
