To solve, isolate the x. Cross multiply

3/13(13)(5) = x/5(5)(13)

3(5) = (13)x

Simplify

13x = 15

Isolate the x. Divide by 13.

13x/13 = 15/13

x = 15/13

x = 1.2

1.2 is your answer

hope this helps

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

y = 2 · 3 x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis: Number of female representatives in 1985 = 22

This can be represented by the point (0,22).

Number of representatives in 2005 = 68.

This can be represented by the point (2205-1985,68)

= (20,68)

Slope of the line : \frac{68-22}{20-0} =\frac{46}{20} =\frac{23}{10} = 2 · 3

∴ Equation of the line :  y = mx + c

⇒ 22 = 2 · 3 (0) + c

⇒ C = 22

∴  y = 2 · 3 x + 22

A fair coin is tossed 5 times in a row. The exact probability of the coin landing heads exactly 2 times is
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: \frac{5}{16}


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A fair coin is tossed 5 times in a row.

Total outcomes=2×2×2×2×2=32 [total outcomes in a coin is 2]

Let A be the event of getting heads exactly 2 times

Then the favorable outcomes=^5C_2

=\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=\frac{5\times4\times3!}{2!\times3!}\\=\frac{5\times4}{2}=10

Then probablity of getting heads exactly 2 times =

P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\Rightarrow\ P(A)=\frac{10}{32}\\\\\Rightarrow\ P(A)=\frac{5}{16}
