Answer:

<h2>D. 0.389</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the probability of a studend taking a humanities class, given the student is male.

In this case, the total number of outcomes 180, which is the total number of male students. The possible event is 70, which is all male students which take humanities class.

So, the probability is

$P=\frac{70}{180} \approx 0.389$

Therefore, the right answer is D., the probability that a student is taking a humanities class, given the student is male, is 0.389, rounded to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

0.389

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is defined as the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = EXPECTED OUTCOME/TOTAL OUTCOME

Since we are to find the probability that a student is taking a humanities class, given the student is male, first we need to know the EXPECTED OUTCOME. Since we are considering a male student taking humanity class, the expected outcome will be 70 according to the first row, first column of the table.

The TOTAL OUTCOME will be the total number of all the male students only since we are not considering female students.

TOTAL OUTCOME = 70+50+60

TOTAL OUTCOME = 180

Probability that a student is taking a humanities class, given the student is male will then be:

70/180

= 7/18

= 0.389(to nearest thousandths)

This is my third time posting this bc i kept getting the wrong answer please help me

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have:

$\frac{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}{y^{\frac{-3}{4}}}$

First, we recall that we can switch an exponent from the denominator to the numerator if we multiply the exponent by -1 and vice versa. Therefore:

$=x^{\frac{2}{3}}}\cdot {y^{\frac{3}{4}}$

Now, use the following property:

$a^{x/n}=\sqrt[n]{a^x}$

Therefore:

$x^{\frac{2}{3}}=\sqrt[3]{x^2}$

And:

$y^{\frac{3}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{y^3}$

And so together:

$=x^{\frac{2}{3}}}\cdot {y^{\frac{3}{4}}\\=\sqrt[3]{x^2}\cdot\sqrt[4]{y^3}$

Our answer is B :)

What is the value of X in the equation 3X (-1) / 9Y equals 18 when Y equal 27

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The value of X in the equation 3X (-1) / 9Y equals 18 when Y equal 27 is 1458.33

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3X - 1}{9 Y} = 18$ is a polinomial equation A

if the value of Y = 27

put this value of Y in the equation A

$\frac{3 X -1}{9 \times 27} = 18$

$\frac{3 X -1}{243} = 18$

243 will be taken to right hand side and as per rule will be multiplied by 18

$3X-1= 18\times 243\\$

$3X-1= 4374$

1 will be taken to right hand side and added as per rule

$3 X = 4374+1\\3X= 4375$

3 wil be taken on right hand side and divided as per rule

$X= \frac{4375}{3} \\X= 1458.33$

So the value of X if Y = 27 is 1458.33
