Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

For the president position, there are 4 females from a total of 7 people.

For the vice president position, there are 3 males from 6 people left over.

So the probability is 4/7 × 3/6 = 2/7.

Answer: \dfrac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of males = 3

Number of females = 4

The number of ways to select a female is elected president and a male is elected vice president :-

^3P_1\times ^4C_1=\dfrac{3!}{(3-1)!}\times\dfrac{4!}{(4-1)!}=3\times4=12

The total number of ways to select 2 people from 7 :_

^7P_2=\dfrac{7!}{(7-2)!}=42

Now, the probability that a female is elected president and a male is elected vice president will be :-

\dfrac{12}{42}=\dfrac{2}{7}

Robin was just hired at Groceries & More as a cashler. They pay her $12 an hour. She works 20 hours a week and is going to s
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she works at a rate of $12 an hour, she also works 20 hours a week.

The total amount she makes per week is $240 (12 x 20). However, that is without deductions. We have to subtract $34 from the $240.

$240 - $34 = $206.

$206 is the amount she makes in a week and she wants to save $950. How many weeks does she have to save? Well, let's divide.

$950 / $206 = 4.6 weeks. However, if we have to round up to 5 weeks.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (3, 4) and (2, −1) in slope-intercept form. (2 points) a y = 3x − 7 b y = 3x
sashaice [31]

Answer: y = 5x − 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (3,4) and (2, -1),

y2 = - 1

y1 = 4

x2 = 2

x1 = 3

Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(2 - 3) = - 5/- 1 = 5

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 4 and m= 5 into

y = mx + c. It becomes

4 = 5 × 3 + c

4 = 15 + c

c = 4 - 15 = - 11

The equation becomes

y = 5x - 11

Vector v1 is 6.6 units long and points along the negative x axis. vector v2 is 8.5 units long and points at + 55° to the positiv
natita [175]
(a) what are the x and y components of each vector?
 For vector v1:
 
v1 = 6.6 (cos (180) i + sine (180) j)
 v1 = 6.6 (-1i + 0j)
 v1 = -6.6i
 
For vector v2:
 
v2 = 8.5 (cos (55) i + sine (55) j)
 v2 = 8.5 ((0.573576436) i + (0.819152044) j)
 v2 = 4.88 i + 6.96 j
 (b) determine the sum v v 1 2

 The sum of both vectors is given by:
 v1 + v2 = (-6.6i) + (4.88 i + 6.96 j)
 Adding component to component:
 v1 + v2 = (-6.6 + 4.88) i + (6.96) j
 v1 + v2 = (-1.72) i + (6.96) j
