The books in a private library are classified as fiction and nonfiction. There are 400 books in the library. There are 40 more f

iction books than nonfiction books. Audrey randomly picks a book. A few minutes later, Ryan randomly picks one of the remaining books. What is the probability that both pick nonfiction books?

Start first by determining the number of books of each category. if x is the nbr. of nonfiction then x+40 is the nbr of fiction. x+x+40=400
so x=180 is the nbr. of nonfiction and 220 is the nbr of fiction.the probability would be 180/400×179/399 so 2nd option

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of fiction book be 'x'.

Let the number of non fiction book be 'y'.

Total number of books = 400

So, equation would be

$x+y=400------------(1)$

Since there are 40 more fiction books than non fiction books.

So, equation would be

$x-y=40-------------(2)$

From Eq(1) and Eq(2), we have

$x+y=400\\\\x-y=40\\\\-----------------------------------\\\\2x=440\\\\x=\dfrac{440}{2}\\\\x=220$

And we will find the value of y:

$220+y=400\\\\y=400-220\\\\y=180$

As we have given that Ryan randomly picks one book without replacing it he picks the another book.

Probability that both pick non fiction books would be

$\dfrac{180}{400}\times \dfrac{179}{399}\\\\=0.20$

Hence, Second option is correct.

I don’t get it I need help solving this math problem I

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you know the total angle is 180° from A to D

and you know that ∠BEC is 90°

also you are told that ∠CED is 18°

and that ∠AEB is 4x°

so just put that all together

180=90 + 18 +4x

now solve for X

180-90-18=4x

72=4x

18 = x

so now you know X

now solve ∠AEB

4(18) = 72°

∠AEB= 72°

PLEASE HELP!! Identify the minium value of the function

timama [110]

Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is. In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square. Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction. So far: $x^2+6x=-9$ . Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides. Our linear term is 6. Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9. So add 9 to both sides. $x^2+6x+9=-9+9$ . The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process. $(x+3)^2=0$ . Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now. It is (-3, 0). Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph. The first choice above is the one you want.

Heidi must correctly answer at least 80% of the questions on an exam to advance to the next

Oduvanchick [21]

Given:
must correctly answer 80% of the questions
correctly answered questions = 26
incorrectly answered questions = 4
unanswered questions = 15

Total questions = 26 + 4 + 15 = 45

45 * 80% = 36 required correctly answered questions.

36 - 26 = 10

Out of 15 remaining questions, 10 questions must be correctly answered for Heidi to advance to the next level.

A lathe is set to cut bars of steel into lengths of 6 cm. The lathe is considered to be in perfect adjustment if the average len

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723$

E. -0.723

$df=n-1=93-1=92$

$p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}$

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

$\bar X=5.97$ represent the sample mean for the length

$s=0.4$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=93$ sample size

$\mu_o =6$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

t would represent the statistic

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test

System of hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the lathe is in perfect adjustment (6cm), then the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 6$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 6$

since we don't know the population deviation the statistic is:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

Replacing in formula (1) we got:

$t=\frac{5.97-6}{\frac{0.4}{\sqrt{93}}}=-0.723$

E. -0.723

P value

The degrees of freedom are given by:

$df=n-1=93-1=92$

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(t_{(92)}$

Since the p value is very high we don't have enough evidence to conclude that the true mean for the lengths is different from 6 cm.
