Answer:

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is 0.072

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to compute the probability of none of these 12 children learns to swim before 6 years of age. This is given by:

p(0) = (1 - 0.312)^(12) = 0.688^(12) = 0.01124

We now need to calculate the probability that one child learns to swim before 6 years of age.

p(1) = 12*0.312*(1 - 0.312)^(11) = 3.744*(0.688)^(11)

p(1) = 3.744*0.01634

p(1) = 0.0612

The probability of 1 or less children from that group to learn how to swim before 6 years of age is:

p = p(0) + p(1) = 0.01124 + 0.0612 = 0.07244

Find the reciprocal of 3/5
Kisachek [45]
The reciprocal of 3/5 is 5/3.

To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just turn it upside down.

A fraction has a numerator, top number, and a denominator, bottom number.
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, just swap over the numerator and denominator.

If whole numbers, to get the reciprocal of whole number, just divide the whole number by 1 to make it into a fraction, then get the reciprocal of that fraction.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y =1/3 x + 4 and passes through the point (6, 5)?
lianna [129]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{3}

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = \frac{1}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (6, 5) into the partial equation

5 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 5 - 2 = 3

y = \frac{1}{3} x + 3 ← equation of parallel line
