Answer:

\frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in a recent​ year, 304 of the approximately​ 300,000,000 people in the United States were struck by lightning.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{304}{300,000,000}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{19}{18,750,000}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=0.0000010133333333

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year is \frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333.

Answer:

19/18750000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people  in the United States = 300,000,000

Number of people in the United States who got  struck by lightning = 304

To find: probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year

Solution:

Probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year = Number of people in the United States who got  struck by lightning / Total number of people  in the United States

= 304/300,000,000

= 19/18750000

Reflect 4, 1 in the x-axis
Marysya12 [62]

Hello there,

When you reflect a point over the x-axis the x-coordinate stays the same while the y-coordinate is its opposite.

In the given point (4,1) when it is reflected over the x-axis you would get (4, -1).

Hope I helped,

Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120. Find all possible solutions for x
zloy xaker [14]
First translate the English phrase "Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120" into a mathematical inequality.

"Four times..." means we're multiplying something by 4.

"... the sum of a number and 15..." means we're adding an unknown and 15 and then multiplying the result by 4.

"... is at least 120" means when we substitute the unknown for a value, in order for that value to be in the solution set, it can only be less than or equal to 120.

So, the resulting inequality is 4(x + 15) ≤ 120.

Simplify the inequality.

4(x + 15) ≤ 120
4x + 60 ≤ 120 <-- Using the distributive property
4x ≤ 60 <-- Subtract both sides by 60
x ≤ 15 <-- Divide both sides by 4

Now that we have the inequality in a simplified form, we can easily see that in order to be in the solution set, the variable x can be no bigger than 15.

In interval notation it would look something like this:

[15, ∞)

In set builder notation it would look something like this:

{x | x ∈ R, x ≤ 15}

It is read as "the set of all x, such that x is a member of the real numbers and x is less than or equal to 15".
