In a class of 25 students, 15 of them have a cat, 16 of them have a dog and 3 of them have neither.

According to the document Current Population Survey, published by the U.S. Census Bureau, 30.4% of U.S. adults 25 years old or o

Answer:

0.0803 = 8.03% probability that the number who have a high school degree as their highest educational level is exactly 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a high school degree as their highest educational level, or they do not. The probability of an adult having it is independent of any other adult. This 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.

30.4% of U.S. adults 25 years old or older have a high school degree as their highest educational level.

This means that $p = 0.304$

100 such adults

This means that $n = 100$

Determine the probability that the number who have a high school degree as their highest educational level is a. Exactly 32

This is P(X = 32).

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

$P(X = 32) = C_{100,32}.(0.304)^{32}.(0.696)^{68} = 0.0803$

0.0803 = 8.03% probability that the number who have a high school degree as their highest educational level is exactly 32.

Solve showing all work and simplify completely:<br> 9/18 + 1/3

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

9/18 + 1/3 <Need the same denominator so find the lowest common multiple.

3 6 9 12 15 18 < multiples of 3

if 3 goes into 18 than it will be our LCM

3 goes into 18 6 times so multiply 1 and 3 by 6 and rewrite the equation

9/18 + 6/18 < just add 9 + 6 and place it over 18

15/18 <this number can be simplified so write out their factors and pick the highest one to divide by one they have in common.

1 3 5 15 <Factors of 15

1 2 3 6 9 18 <Factors of 18

3 is the highest one they both have so divide both 15 and 18 by 3

15/3 is 5 and 18/3 is 6

put the 5 and 6 in their proper places and you have 5/6 or .83333333333...

Write the standard form of the equation of the line through the given points.

fenix001 [56]

You first have to find the slope using the slope formula. That looks like this with our values: $\frac{-2-(-1)}{5-(-3)}=- \frac{1}{8}$ . So the slope is -1/8. Use one of the points to first write the equation in y = mx + b form. We have an x and a y to use from one of the points and we also have the slope we just found. Filling in accordingly to solve for b gives us $-2=5(- \frac{1}{8})+b$ and $-2=- \frac{5}{8}+b$ . Adding 5/8 to both sides and getting a common denominator gives us that $b=- \frac{11}{8}$ . Writing our slope-intercept form we have $y=- \frac{1}{8}x- \frac{11}{8}$ . Standard form for a line is Ax + By = C...no fractions allowed. So let's get rid of that 8 by multiplying each term by 8 to get 8y = -x - 11. Add x to both sides to get it into the correct form: x + 8y = -11
