Find a common denominator by multiplying the two different denominators by each other to get 15. 2/3 then becomes 10/15 and 4/5 becomes 12/15.

You now have 4 and 10/15 minus negative 1 and 12/15. Subtracting a negative number results in addition, so it's 4 and 10/15 PLUS 1 and 12/15. You get 5 and 22/15, which becomes 6 and 7/15.

The answer is C.

Find exact value using reference angles cot -53pi/6

eduard

It's the same as cot (-150 or -5pi/6) and that's a reference angle of 30 so cot 30 or pi/6 is sqrt (3) and since it's in the 3rd quadrant, it's positive.

Answer:

$P(200\leq X\leq 400)=P(\frac{200-240}{12}\leq \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\leq \frac{400-240}{12})=P(-3.33\leq Z \leq 13.33)$

$=P(Z$

So then the correct answer would be:

B) .9996

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact way to solve this problem is using the binomial distribution, assuming that our random variable of interest is "number of students living in apartments" represented by X and $X \sim Bin(n=600, p =0.4)$

And we want this probability:

$P(200 \leq X \leq 400) [tex]In order to find this probability we can use the foloowing excel code:"=BINOM.DIST(400,600,0.4,TRUE)-BINOM.DIST(199,600,0.4,TRUE)"And we got:[tex] P(200 \leq X \leq 400) =0.999675[tex]But for this case the problem says that we need to approximate, so then we can use the normal approximation to the normal distribution. We need to check the conditions in order to use the normal approximation.
