Answer:

P= 0.0039

Step-by-step explanation:

From Exercise we have 12 women and 4 men.

We calculate the number of combinations of 16 people, to be divided into 4 teams of 4 people each.

{16}_C_{4} · {12}_C_{4} · {8}_C_{4} =

=\frac{16!}{4!·(16-4)!} · \frac{12!}{4!·(12-4)!}· \frac{8!}{4!·(8-4)!}

=1820 · 495 · 105

=94594500

The number of favorable combinations is

{12}_C_{3} · {9}_C_{3} · {6}_C_{3} =

=\frac{12!}{3!·(12-3)!} · \frac{9!}{3!·(9-3)!}· \frac{6!}{3!·(6-3)!}

=220 · 84 · 20

=369600

The probability is 369600/94594500=16/4095=0.0039

P= 0.0039

the second option.

(3h+18)+(15h)=180

-18 . -18

3h . + 15h=162

18h=162

162/18 = 9

3. Sam and Tim each have savings accounts. Every month they each put in some of their

Setler [38]

Answer:

$y = 30x +50$ --- Sam

$y = 20x +80$ --- Tim

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sam Tim

х --- f(x) --------------- g(x)

1 --- 80 --------------- 100

2 --- 110 --------------- 120

3 --- 140 --------------- 140

4 --- 170 -------------- 160

Required

Determine the y value

y value implies the equation of the table

Calculating the equation of Sam

First, we need to take any corresponding values of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,80)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,170)$

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{170 - 80}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{90}{3}$

$m = 30$

Next, we calculate the line equation using:

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 80 = 30(x - 1)$

$y - 80 = 30x - 30$

Make y the subject

$y = 30x - 30 + 80$

$y = 30x +50$

Calculating the equation of Tim

First, we need to take any corresponding values of x and y

$(x_1,y_1) = (1,100)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (4,160)$

Next, we calculate the slope (m)

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \frac{160 - 100}{4 - 1}$

$m = \frac{60}{3}$

$m = 20$

Next, we calculate the line equation using:

$y - y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y - 100 = 20(x - 1)$

$y - 100 = 20x - 20$

Make y the subject

$y = 20x - 20+100$

$y = 20x +80$

This person did something wrong and I do not know what it is :( Please help this is for points!

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

0.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnifying glass basically zooms into smaller objects. If the insect appears to be 2cm, then it is actually smaller than this. It cannot be 10 cm.

If the scale factor is 5, then this means that the insect is zoomed in 5 times through the magnifying glass. Use the following ratio:

$\frac{2}{5}$

This fraction can also be seen as division, so:

$2$ ÷ $5=0.4$

The insect is actually 0.4 cm long.

(or 4 millimeters)

56 is 80 percent of what number

monitta

Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
(80/100) * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56 * 5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
= 70
The value of the unknown number is 70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the calculation part.
