The probability is the number of positive events divided by the number of total possible events. The probability searched will be the probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish times the probability that the second fish selected is also a goldfish. The probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish is the number of goldfish in the tank divided by the total number of fish, i.e. 18 / 40. The probality that the second fish selected is a goldfish is 17 / 39 (because there is one goldfish less in the thank). Then, the joint probability is (18/40)*(17/39) = 306/1560 =102/ 520 = 51/260. Then,<span> the answer is the option b. 51/260</span>

Martha wrote an example of a quadratic function for a homework assignment. The function she wrote is shown. f(x) = 5x3 + 2x2 + 7
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The first term, 5x^3, can be eliminated.

The exponent on the first term, 5x^3, can be changed to a 2 and then combined with the second term, 2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest degree allowed in a quadratic function is 2, so the third degree term (the first term) needs to be eliminated or changed. The change shown above is one of many possibilities.

The conditional relative frequency table below was generated by column using frequency table data comparing the number of calori
Rudik [331]

There is an association because the value 0.15 is not similar to the value 0.55

For the nutritionist to determine whether there is an association between where food is prepared and the number of calories the food contains, there must be an association between two categorical variables.

The conditions that satisfy whether there exists an association between conditional relative frequencies are:

1. When there is a bigger difference in the conditional relative frequencies, the stronger the association between the variables.

2. When the conditional relative frequencies are nearly equal for all categories, there may be no association between the variables.

For the given conditional relative frequency, we can see that there exists a significant difference between the columns of the table in the picture because 0.15 is significantly different from 0.55 and 0.85 is significantly different from 0.45

We can conclude that there is an association because the value 0.15 is not similar to the value 0.55

HELP ME WITH THIS! 1/3 a = 7/9
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a = 2 \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{1}{3} a = \frac{7}{9}

Multiply both sides by 9 ( the LCM of 3 and 9 ) to clear the fractions

3a = 7 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = \frac{7}{3} = 2 \frac{1}{3}
