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

Find n(A) for the following set. <br> A={a,b,c,...,z}
MariettaO [177]

n(A) = 26

Solution:

Let us first define the cardinal number of the set.

Cardinal number of the set:

The number of distinct elements in a finite set is called its cardinal number. It is denoted as n(A).

Given set: A = {a, b, c, .... z}

We know that, there are 26 elements in the alphabet "a to z".

Number of elements in the set A = 26

Hence n(A) = 26.

Which are true or false
Savatey [412]

we are given

y=19.75x

Here,

y is the number of gallons of water in the pool

x is the number of minutes the truck has been filing the pool

now, we will verify each options

option-A:

When x=1

then y=19.75

so, for 1 minute , number gallons =19.75

so, this is FALSE

option-B:

Since, we have

y=19.75x

It is similar to equation of line

y=mx+b

But b=0

It means that it passes through origin

so, this is TRUE

option-C:

y=19.75x

we can compare it with

y=mx

where m is the rate

so, we get

m=19.75

while we are given

the water in swimming pool increase about 100 gallons by every 5 minutes

so, we get rate as

m=\frac{100}{5} =20 gallons per minute

this is close to 19.75

so, they are approximately equal

so, this is TRUE

option-d:

x-value and y-value will show relationship

and ratio will always be constant or equivalent

because it has linear relationship

so, this is TRUE

option-e:

We need to check

(8,150) ..so, x=8 and y=150

we can plug this in our equation

and we get

150=19.75\times 8

150=158

Since, left side is not equal to right side

so, this can not be point

so, this is FALSE
