Hello there!

We are going to follow the volume of a sphere since a volleyball is a sphere. V=4/3πr^3 is the formula for finding the volume of a sphere. The only unknown value is r, or the radius. We find the radius by halving the diameter.

8/2 = 4, so we have a radius of 4 inches.

Place the value of 4 in for r - V = 4/3 x π x (4)^3

Now solve.

V = 4/3 x π x (4)^3

Start by squaring 4.

V = 4/3 x π x 64

Next, multiply 4/3 by 64. (<em>you can do it in any order since there are no parenthesis</em>)

V = π x 85.33

Lastly, multiply 85.33 by pi.

V = 268.08

So, your answer is approximately 268.08, since we used rounding it is not exact. I hope this was helpful and have a great rest of your day! :)

There are 5 questions on a multiple choice exam, each with five possible answers. If a student guesses on all five questions, wh

Answer:

$20.5\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write out a case for two specific questions being correct and the rest being incorrect:

$\frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}$ ,

The $\frac{1}{5}$ represents the chances of getting the question correct, as there are 5 answers and 1 correct answer choice.

The $\frac{4}{5}$ represents the chances of getting the question incorrect, as there are 5 answers and 4 incorrect answer choices.

The equation above does show the student getting two answers correct and three answers incorrect, but it only shows one possible case of doing so.

We can choose any two of the five questions to be the ones the student gets correct. Therefore, we need to multiply this equation by the number ways we can choose 2 from 5 (order doesn't matter): $\binom{5}{2}=10$ .

Therefore, the probability the student gets two questions correct is:

$\frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \binom{5}{2}=\frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{1}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot \frac{4}{5}\cdot 10=0.2048\approx \boxed{20.5\%}$

If tb=5x and tu=4x-1 and ub=2x-1 what does x equal

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

If C is a point between AB then we can write AC + CB = AB

Same way we can write tu + ub = tb
tu = 4x - 1 , ub = 2x - 1 and tb = 5x
So we can write it as

$4x - 1+ 2x - 1 = 5x$

$6x - 2 = 5x$

$6x - 5x = 2$

$x = 2$

So x is = 2.
