Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a word problem which should be tackled accordingly.

The sum of 48 and itself

= 48+48

= 96

It's half and half of its half

= 48/2 and (48/2)/2

= 24+ 24/2

= 24+12

= 36

Is added to 18

= 96+36+18

= 150

From the description above the entire sum is 150.

The mailing list of an agency that markets scuba-diving trips to the Florida Keys contains 78% males and 22% females. The agency

choli [55]

Answer:

a) 0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

b) 3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person chosen by the agency, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a man, or it is a woman. The probability of selecting a man or a women in each trial is independent from other trials. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

(a) What is the probability that 17 of the 29 people are men?

This is P(X = 17) when $n = 29, p = 0.78$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 17) = C_{29,17}.(0.78)^{17}.(0.22)^{12} = 0.0098$

0.98% probability that 17 of the 29 people are men.

(b) What is the probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call?

On the first 7 trials, all men, each with a 78% probability.

On the 8th trial, a women, with a 22% probability. So

$P = (0.78)^{7}*0.22 = 0.0386$

3.86% probability that the first woman is reached on the 8th call

2x^2=9-3x <br> Find the factors

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

x = -3, $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is: $2x^2 = 9 - 3x$

This can be written as: $2x^2 + 3x - 9 = 0$

To solve a quadratic equation of the form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ we use the formula:

$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Here, a = 2; b = 3; c = - 9

Therefore, the roots of the equation are:

$x = \frac{- 3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 4(2)(-9)}}{2(2)}$

$\implies x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{81}}{4}$

$\implies x = \frac{-3 \pm 9}{4}$

We get two values of 'x', viz.,

x = $\frac{-3 + 9}{4}$ and $\frac{- 3 - 9}{4}$

$\implies x = \frac{6}{4} \hspace{5mm} \& \hspace{5mm} \frac{-12}{4}$

⇒ x = -3, 3/2

Since the factors of the quadratic equation is asked, we write it as:

(x + 3)(x - $\frac{3}{2}$ ) = 0

because, if (x - a)(x - b) are the factors of a quadratic equation, then 'a' and 'b' are its roots.

Multiply (x + 3) and (x - $\frac{3}{2}$ to see that this indeed is the given quadratic equation.

Given g(x) = :-2 +4, solve for a when g(x) = 0.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

-7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for the composite g(f(2)). The simplest way to solve this is to evaluate f(2) and enter the solution in to your g function.

g(f(2))=g(-(2)^2-2(2)+4)=g(-4-4+4)=g(-4)

g(-4)=4/(-4(-4)-2)=4/(16-2)=4/14=2/7

Therfor, g(f(2))=2/7 **I'm assuming the -4x-2 is all in the denominator of the g(x) function. If -2 is not in the denominator you would have

g(f(2))=4/(-4(-4)) -2=4/16 -2=1/4 -2=1/4-8/4= -7/4

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

8820 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Selecting 4 pairs of pant from 8 available and selecting 5 shirts from 9 available

Using combination :

4 pants from 8 = 8C4

5 shirts from 9 = 9C5

Recall:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

8C4 * 9C5 = [8! /(8-4)!4!] * [9! /(9-5)!5!]

8C4 * 9C5 = (8! /4!4!) * (9! /4!5!)

8C4 * 9C5 = 70 * 126

8C4 * 9C5 = 8820 ways
