Answer:

Probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics = 0.995 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that In Quebec, 90 percent of the population subscribes to the Roman Catholic religion.

The Binomial distribution probability is given by;

 P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r}(1-p)^{n-r} for x = 0,1,2,3,.......

Here, n = number of trials which is 8 in our case

         r = no. of success which is at least 5 in our case

         p = probability of success which is probability of Roman Catholic of

                 0.90 in our case

So, P(X >= 5) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8)

= \binom{8}{5}0.9^{5}(1-0.9)^{8-5} + \binom{8}{6}0.9^{6}(1-0.9)^{8-6} + \binom{8}{7}0.9^{7}(1-0.9)^{8-7} + \binom{8}{8}0.9^{8}(1-0.9)^{8-8}

= 56 * 0.9^{5} * (0.1)^{3} + 28 * 0.9^{6} * (0.1)^{2} + 8 * 0.9^{7} * (0.1)^{1} + 1 * 0.9^{8}

= 0.995

Therefore, probability that the sample contains at least five Roman Catholics is 0.995.

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. W

Answer:

A)segment A"B"= AB / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle A″B″C″ is formed using the translation (x + 2, y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of one half from the origin. Which equation explains the relationship between segment AB and segment A"B"?

coordinate plane with triangle ABC at A(-3, 3), B(1, -3), and C(-3, -3)

A)segment A"B"= AB / 2

B)segment AB = segment A"B"/ 2

C)segment AB / segment A"B"= 1/2

D)segment A"B" / segment AB = 2

A"B" = AB / 2

Because

1. translations do not change the lengths of segments, so (x+2, y+0) preserves the length of AB, i.e. mA'B' = mAB

2. Dilation causes the new segment to be transformed to a new length according to the old length * the scale factor of (1/2).

Therefore A"B" = (1/2)AB, or AB/2.

\dfrac{1}{4}x  + \dfrac{1}{2} =  \dfrac{1}{4}x- \dfrac{1}{2} 

\text{Cancel 1/4x on both sides} 

\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{2} 

\text{There is no solution}

Answer:

9a + 6b and 5c - 3d

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

4a + 7b + 5a - b ← collect like terms

= (4a + 5a) + (7b - b)

= 9a + 6b

(b)

6c + 4d - c - 7d ← collect like terms

= (6c - c) + (4d - 7d)

= 5c - 3d
