Answer:

0.2638,0.5902,0.1250,0.5902

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a certain state, 32.2% of all community college students belong to ethnic minorities.

i.e. probability for any random college student to belong to ethnic minorities

=0.322

This is constant as each student is independent of the other

X no of college students belong to ethnic minorities in the sample of 10 is

Bin (10, 0.322)

a) Exactly 3 belong to an ethnic minority.

$=P(X=3)\\=0.2638$

b. Three or fewer belong to an ethnic minority.

= $P(X\leq 3)\\=0.5902$

c. Exactly 5 do not belong to an ethnic minority.

$P(X'=5)=P(X=5)\=0.1250$

d. Six or more do not belong to an ethnic minority.

$P(X'\geq 6)\\=P(X$

The diagram below shows a shaded parallelogram drawn inside a rectangle. Using Pythagoras, find the hypotenuse of triangle A and

Julli [10]

Answer: 5.9 cm for both triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where c is the hypotenuse of a triangle (the longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the other sides.

Replacing with the values given:

c^2 = 3^2 + 5^2

c^2 = 9+25

c^2 = 34

c = √34

c = 5.9 cm

Since both triangles are identical ( same side lengths) the hypotenuse is the same for both, 5.9 cm.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Two basketballs are thrown along different paths. Determine if the basketballs’ paths are parallel to each

Paul [167]

Answer:

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that:

Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equivalent.
Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals of each other.
And two lines are neither if neither of the two cases above apply.

So, let's find the slope of each equation.

The first basketball is modeled by:

$\displaystyle 3x+4y=12$

We can convert this into slope-intercept form. Subtract 3<em>x</em> from both sides:

$4y=-3x+12$

And divide both sides by four:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x+3$

So, the slope of the first basketball is -3/4.

The second basketball is modeled by:

$-6x-8y=24$

Again, let's convert this into slope-intercept form. Add 6<em>x</em> to both sides:

$-8y=6x+24$

And divide both sides by negative eight:

$\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3$

So, the slope of the second basketball is also -3/4.

Since the slopes of the two equations are equivalent, the basketballs' paths are parallel.

Pleaseeeeeeee help me

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The answer is "The discriminant is positive"

Step-by-step explanation:

When the discriminant is positive there is two real solutions.

When the discriminant is equal to 0, there is one real solution.

When the discriminant is negative, there is no real number solutions.
