Given:

It is given that

C divides AB so that, AC:AB = 3:8

To find the wrong option among the given options.

Let us take,

AB = 8x unit

AC = 3x unit

So,

CB = 8x-3x

CB = 5x unit

So, we can conclude that,

AC: CB: AB = 3:5:8

Hence,

The wrong option is C i.e, Point C is \frac{3}{5} of way from point A to point B.

Suppose a box contains a double-headed coin, a double-tailed coin, and a conventional coin. A coin is picked at random and flipp
notsponge [240]

Answer:

P(D|A)=0.666

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the tree diagram to understand these probabilities that is attached to the bottom of this answer.

Since there are three coins in the box, the probability of taking one in particular (the double-headed one, which is event D) is one third, which is equal to 0.333

Since the coin showed heads, the probability of it being a double-tailed coin is zero.

The Bayes theorem says that P(D|A) is the multiplication of P(D) and P(A), divided the probability of A happening by any means, happening D or not, which is the sum of all probabilities of A happening:

P(D|A)=\frac{P(D)*P(A_1)}{P(D)*P(A_1)+P(E)*P(A_2)} =\frac{0.333*1}{0.333*1+0.333*0.5}=0.666

The number of swimsuits purchased at a department store is positively correlated with each of these variables. a change in which
const2013 [10]

The variable that is most likely to have a positive correlation with the number of swimsuits purchased is the temperature changing outside.

<h3>What is positive correlation?</h3>

Correlation measures the relationship between two variables. When there is a positive correlation, it means that the two variables move in the same direction. If one of the variables increases, the other variable increases. If one of the variables decreases, the other variable decreases.

When it is summer, it is expected that the number of swimsuits bought would increase. When it is winter, it is expected that the number of swimsuits bought would decrease.

Here are the options:

A. The number of swimsuit cover-ups the store has in stock

B. The number of sand castles built by store customers

C. The temperature outside changing

D. The number of minutes it takes the store's employees to get to work

What is the answer to this ?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

x - 1 and 5x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + g(x)

= 3x - 4 - 2x + 3 ← collect like terms

= x - 1

f(x) - g(x)

= 3x - 4 - (- 2x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

=  3x - 4 + 2x - 3 ← collect like terms

= 5x - 7
