Mathematics

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.

Two angles are complementary. One angle is ten less than four times the other angle. Find the measure of the larger angle
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

B.70

Step-by-step explanation:

For one or two angles are complementary angle(s), they have to equal 90°.

So, we need to find the larger angle, but what about the other?

Let x be the other angle and y be the angle we are looking for

x + y = 90

Lets look for x first, since one angle is ten less than four times the angle we are looking for or visa versa, we must:

y = 4x - 10

For an exchange, lets take out the y variable for another x variable:

So now we should have x + 4x - 10 = 90

Combine like terms and do cross equation :

x + 4x -10 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

Add 10 to both sides:

5x = 100

100/5 = 20

So <u><em>x=20</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Now for y which is what we are looking for,

y = 4x - 10

Since x is 20, plug it in

y = 80 - 10

y=70 is our larger angle

A "child has six blocks, three of which are red and three of which are green". How many patterns can shemake by placing them all
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: There are 20 ways and 1680 ways respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of blocks = 6

Number of red blocks = 3

Number of green blocks = 3

So, Number of patterns she can make by placing them all in a line is given by

\dfrac{6!}{3!\times 3!}\\\\=20

If there are 3 white blocks

so, total number of white blocks becomes 9

So, Number of total pattern she can make by placing all nine blocks in a line is given by

\dfrac{9!}{3!\times 3!\times 3!}\\\\=1680\ ways

Hence, there are 20 ways and 1680 ways respectively.

Median - 65 ( Number in the middle)

Mode - 65 ( Most repeated number)

Range - 8 ( Greatest number - Smallest number)
