4 0

Answer:

The probability that one of the minority candidates is hired is P;

P = Nm/Nt

P = 2/5 = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Candidates on the list Nt= 5

Number of minority candidates on the list Nm= 2

The probability that one of the minority candidates is hired is P;

P = Nm/Nt

P = 2/5 = 0.4

macy is trying to construct an isosceles triangle. She assigns and angle measurement of 40 degrees to the unique angle of the tr
Hitman42 [59]
Given that Macy wants to construct an isosceles triangle, with the unique angle being 40° it implies that for the triangle to be isosceles, the base angles should be the same. The size of the base angles will be:
(180-40)/2=70
given that that the base is 6 cm, Macy can only form 1 triangle with these dimensions.
The length of the other sides will be found using sine rule
a/sin A=b/sin B
a=6 cm
A=40°
b=?
B=70
hence:
6/sin 40=b/sin 70
b=(6sin 70)/sin40
b=8.77 cm

Suppose the mean SAT verbal score is 525 with a standard deviation of 100, while the mean SAT math score is 575 with a standard
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The mean of the combined math and verbal scores is 1100, while the standard deviation is 141.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal variables

Normal variables have mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma

When we add normal variables, the combined mean is the sum of both means, and the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of both variances. The distribution is still normal.

In this question:

Verbal: \mu_{V} = 525, \sigma_{V} = 100.

Math: \mu_{M} = 575, \sigma_{M} = 100

Combined:

\mu = \mu_{V} + \mu_{M} = 525 + 575 = 1100

\sigma = \sqrt{\sigma_{V}^{2}+\sigma_{M}^{2}} = \sqrt{100^2 + 100^2} = 141

The mean of the combined math and verbal scores is 1100, while the standard deviation is 141.

Amanda worked the entire summer before her freshman year of college. She saved $2000. She withdraws $150 per week for expenses.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

12 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda starts with $2000 and is getting $150 per week which means that we can make the expression:

2000-150n=200

The expression is equal to 200 because is the limit where we can arrive to avoid the fee, then the n is the number of weeks that we are looking for:

150n=2000-200\\n=\frac{1800}{200}\\n=12

n=12 weeks

What is the surface area of this point
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

The answer is 30ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of a rectangle, we use the formula L(2) + W(2) + H(2)

Our length is 7ft

Our Width 2ft

Our height is 6ft

Let's plug our numbers into our equation:

7(2) + 2(2) +6(2)

= 14 + 4 + 12

=30 ft.
