Answer: a) 1 / ⁴⁰C₅ b) 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sample space consists of all numbers 1-40.

Since any of the number can be taken from the sample space so each of five 5 distinct numbers we take has equal probability of occurring. So probability of each 5 numbers set we take will be equal to 1 / ⁴⁰C₅

If we pick exactly 3 even number then that means other 2 will be odd.

So, we have sample space of 40 numbers out of which 20 are even and 20 are odd.

Now we have to pick 3 even out of 20 and 2 odd out of 20.

Probability = ²⁰C₃ * ²⁰C₂ / ⁴⁰C₅

Probability= 0.33

Which of the following is a linear function?

Rama09 [41]

$\boxed{ \textbf{ \huge{Answer: A}}}$

A linear function has 1 as the highest power of the variable.

A. f(x) = 2 - 7x

here, the highest power of the variable x is 1.
Hence it is a LINEAR function.
___________

B. f(x) = 2 + x + x^2

here, the highest power of the variable x is 2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.
_______________

$c.f(x) = \sqrt{2 + 7x}$
here, the highest power of the variable x is 1/2.
Hence it is NOT a linear function.

Nine times the difference of a number and 4 is the same as the product of 2 and the same number plus 10. What is the number?

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The product of 10 and a number is = 10x Twice that number means 2x 36 less than twice that number= 2x-36. It is given that....The product of 10 and a number is the same as 36 less twice that same number

The amount of time Ricardo spends brushing his teeth follows a Normal distribution with unknown mean and standard deviation. Ric

Papessa [141]

Let $X$ denote the number of minutes spent brushing his teeth, and let $\mu$ be the mean and $\sigma$ the standard deviation for this distribution.

$\mathbb P(X$

The z-score corresponding to this probability is approximately $z=-0.2533$ , which means

$\dfrac{1-\mu}\sigma=-0.2533\iff\mu-0.2533\sigma=1$

Next, (note the sign change)

$\mathbb P(X>2)=0.02\implies\mathbb P(X\le2)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-\mu}\sigma\le\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma\right)=0.98$

The corresponding z-score is approximately $z=2.0538$ , so you have

$\dfrac{2-\mu}\sigma=2.0538\iff\mu+2.0538\sigma=2$

Solving the two equations for $\mu$ and $\sigma$ , you'll find that the mean is approximately $\mu=1.1098$ and the standard deviation is approximately $\sigma=0.4334$ .
