Answer:

55/2574 ≈ 2.18%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 13 people on the council.

The probability that the first person is a Democrat is 8/13.

The probability that the second person is a Democrat is 7/12.

The probability that the third person is a Republican is 5/11.

The probability that the fourth person is a Republican is 4/10.

The probability that the fifth person is a Republican is 3/9.

The total probability is:

P = (8/13) (7/12) (5/11) (4/10) (3/9)

P = 56/2574

P ≈ 0.0218

There is a 2.18% probability of selecting two Democrats and three Republicans.

In the Journal of Shell and Spatial Structures (December 1963), environmental researcher Vivek Ajmani studied the performance of
igomit [66]

Answer:

The standard deviation of the load distribution is of 5102.041 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 20000

Also, the probability that the load is between 10,000 and 30,000 pounds is 0.95.

10,000 pounds and 30,000 pounds are equidistant from the mean. Due to this, and the probability of 0.95 of having a value in this range, 10000 is the (100-95)/2 = 2.5th percentile and 30000 is the (100+95)/2 = 97.5th percentile. Applying one of them, we find the standard deviation.

30,000 is the 97.5th percentile:

This means that when X = 30000, Z has a pvalue of 0.975. So when X = 30000, Z = 1.96. Then

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.96 = \frac{30000 - 20000}{\sigma}

1.96\sigma = 10000

\sigma = \frac{10000}{1.96}

\sigma = 5102.041

The standard deviation of the load distribution is of 5102.041 pounds.

Y= 5x + 13 <br> and<br> y= x + 45
arsen [322]

Answer:

x=8 and y=53

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

  • y=5x+13
  • y=x+45

Find x:

  • the two equation, the x and are breaked apart..
  • so find a number that they can both equal to together and has the same y.
  • multiply by 8..
  • 5·8=40
  • combine the terms for x and 13
  • 40+13=53
  • since x is 8 then if we add 8 with 45 it should be 53...
  • 8+45=53

y is:

  • this means that y=53.

Therefore, x=8 and y=53..
