Answer:

option a)

0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of red pens in cup = 5

number of black pens in cup = 10

number of pen randomly selected = 3

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens. So there are 5 + 10 = 15 pens in all.

probability of having all red pens = (5/15 x 4/14 x 3/13)

                                                       = 2/91

probability of having all black pens = (10/15 x 9/14 x 8/13)

                                                           = 24/91

probability that all pen are of same colour = 24/91 + 2/91

                                                                      =  2/7

                                                                      ≈ 0.286

Alright. It seems like the triangle that has the 45 degree angle with angles c & d is an isosceles triangle which meas two sides are equal.
If that is true, angle d would be 45. Add 45 and 45 together to get 90, which is angle c. The angle right across from c, a, will be 90 as well. Add 90 and 45 to get 135 and then do 180 - 135 to get angle b. Angle b should equal 45 as well. So adding each of the angles together, 90 + 45 + 90 + 45 = 360 

Your final answer is 360.

the Children's Hospital sponsors a 10k race to raise money. it receives $75 per race entry and $10,000 in donations but it must
masha68 [24]

Answer:

There would need to be at least 1,800 entries in order for them to meet their goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we must write an equation that helps solve it. We know that for every entry (x), we gain 75 and lose 25. We can express this as the following.

75x - 25x

Then we can add the number of donations.

75x - 25x + 10,000

Then we can set it as greater than or equal to the goal number.

75x - 25x + 10,000 ≥ 100,000

Now we solve this using the order of operations.

75x - 25x + 10,000 ≥ 100,000 ----> Combine like terms

50x + 10,000 ≥ 100,000 ------> Subtract 10,000

50x ≥ 90,000 -----> Divide by 50

x ≥ 1,800

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

This interpretation is incorrect because it states that 98% of the data is with in the confidence interval.

or 98% of the laptop have screen size between 19.2 and 21.4 inches

However, the interpretation would have been correct if it would have stated as - Value of the population mean i.e mean size of the laptop screen lies within the confidence interval.
