Hey there!

We have that 4/5, or 80% of the 60 students passed the exam.

Thus, we have:

0.8(60)=48

48 students passed the exam.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Combinations are a way to calculate the total outcomes of an event where order of the outcomes does not matter.

To calculate combinations, we will use the formula

$C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

where

n represents the total number of items

r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

In this problem

$n=28\\r=4$

substitute

$C(28,4)=\frac{28!}{4!(28-4)!}\\\\C(28,4)=\frac{28!}{4!(24)!}$

simplify

$C(28,4)=\frac{(28)(27)(26)(25)(24!)}{4!(24)!}$

$C(28,4)=\frac{(28)(27)(26)(25)}{(4)(3)(2)(1)}$

$C(28,4)=20,475\ ways$

the legs of a right triangle are 4 units and 7 units. What is the length of the hypotenuse? Select one: a. square root 33 units

Mrac [35]

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=adjacent\\ b=opposite\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{4^2+7^2}\implies c=\sqrt{65}$

What is the first quartile of this data set

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

C:12

Step-by-step explanation:

should be 13.5

The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number and the median of the data set.

so the middle number of 10,11,12,15,17,19 is 13.5 since 12+15=27/2=13.5

the closest answer choice is C! Hope this helped!

musickatia [10]

Answer:

b) The property states that ab is equivalent to b a

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative property:-

the commutative property , when we multiply two integers , the answer we get after multiplication will remain the same, even if the position of the integers are interchanged.

Let 'a' and 'b' be the two integers , then ab = b a

Example:-

. 1 X 2 = 2 X 1 = 2

. 12 X 5 = 5 X 12 = 60
