sergeinik [125]

Answer:

3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

(1/7)/(4/21) = (1/7)×(21/4) = 3/4 = 3:4

Two angles are comlementary. the first angle measures x and the second angle measures 3x-10. find x?

ryzh [129]

X=25

4x-10=90
Add 10 to both sides
4x=100
Divide both sides by 4

What equation is parallel to y= -1/4+5 and passes through (2,-3)? <br> HELPPPPP PLEASE!!!!

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

y = -1/4x - 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming you mean y = -1/4x + 5.

This has slope of -1/4 so the required equation has the same slope ( as they are parallel).

Using the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - (-3) = -1/4(x - 2)

y + 3 = -1/4(x - 2)

y = -1/4x + 1/2 - 3

y = -1/4x - 5/2

41% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability that the

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.2087 = 20.82% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is exactly five.

b) 0.1834 = 18.34% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is at least six.

c) 0.3575 = 35.75% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is less than four.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have very little confidence in newspapers, or they do not. The answers of each adult are independent, which 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.

41% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers.

This means that $p = 0.41$

You randomly select 10 U.S. adults.

This means that $n = 10$

(a) exactly five

This is $P(X = 5)$ . So

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

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.41)^{5}.(0.59)^{5} = 0.2087$

0.2087 = 20.82% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is exactly five.

(b) at least six

This is:

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

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

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.41)^{6}.(0.59)^{4} = 0.1209$

$P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.41)^{7}.(0.59)^{3} = 0.0480$

$P(X = 8) = C_{10,8}.(0.41)^{8}.(0.59)^{2} = 0.0125$

$P(X = 9) = C_{10,9}.(0.41)^{9}.(0.59)^{1} = 0.0019$

$P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.41)^{10}.(0.59)^{0} = 0.0001$

Then

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.1209 + 0.0480 + 0.0125 + 0.0019 + 0.0001 = 0.1834$

0.1834 = 18.34% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is at least six.

(c) less than four.

This is:

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.41)^{0}.(0.59)^{10} = 0.0051$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.41)^{1}.(0.59)^{9} = 0.0355$

$P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.41)^{2}.(0.59)^{8} = 0.1111$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.41)^{3}.(0.59)^{7} = 0.2058$

So

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0051 + 0.0355 + 0.1111 + 0.2058 = 0.3575$

0.3575 = 35.75% probability that the number of U.S. adults who have very little confidence in newspapers is less than four.
