The correct answer is a) Amy's solutions are correct.

Since she wanted the intersection point of the equations, she had to set them equal. Once she did she had

x²+3x-5=4x+1

Gathering the variables on one side of the equation, she subtracted 4x from each side:
x²+3x-5-4x=4x+1-4x
x²-x-5=1

Quadratics should be equal to 0 when we solve them, so she subtracted 1 from each side:
x²-x-5-1=1-1
x²-x-6=0

She then factored her expression; factors of -6 that sum to -1 are -3 and 2:
(x-3)(x+2)=0

Using the zero product property we know that either x-3=0 or x+2=0; therefore x=3 or x=-2.

A survey is being conducted in a county where 62% of the voters are Democrats and 38% are Republican. (a) What is the probabilit

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the voter is a Democrat, or he is not. The probability of the voter being a Democrat is independent of other voters. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

62% of the voters are Democrats

This means that $p = 0.62$

(a) What is the probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.62)^{2}.(0.38)^{0} = 0.3844$

0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats

What is 76.78 rounded to the nearest whole number?

galben [10]

Lets look at the number. 76.78. In each of the different place holders the number is higher than 5. Lets do some examples. 74 rounded to the nearest whole number is going to be 70. 76 rounded to the whole number will be 80. The .78 in your question also contributes.
