Tom and Jerry are hoping to be selected from their class of 27 as president and vice-president of the Social Committee (they jus

t want the positions, but don't care which of the two is the president). If the three-person committee (president, vice-president, and secretary) is selected at random, what is the probability that Tom and Jerry would be president and vice president? Round your answer to six decimal places.

The difference between two numbers is 7. The sum of twice the larger number and three times the smaller number is 19.
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

x= 8   y= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you identify your variables:

x= larger number

y= smaller number

Second, you find your equations:

x - y = 7

2x + 3y = 19

Third, (I used the substitution method) you make "y" by itself for the 1st equation.

y = x - 7

2x + 3y = 19

Then, you plug in the 1st equation for "y" in the 2nd equation

2x + 3(x - 7) = 19

Then, you distribute and simplify.

2x + 3x - 21 = 19

5x - 21 = 19

5x = 40

x = 8

Finally, you plug in the variable you found ( x ) into one of the equations and solve,

8 - y = 7

- y = -1

y = 1

What are the last three terms of the binomial expansion 32x³ + 80x'y + 80x³y² +
Gnesinka [82]

The last three terms of the given binomial expansion are 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵

<h3>Binomial expansion</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the last three terms of the binomial expansion 32x⁵ + 80x⁴y + 80x³y² + __ + __ + __

The highest power of the expansion is 5

Using the binomial expansion theorem

(m +n)⁵ = m⁵ + 5m⁴n + 10m³n² + 10m²n³ + 5mn⁴ + n⁵

Now, we will determine the values of m and n by comparison

By comparison,

m⁵ = 32x⁵

m⁵ = (2x)⁵

∴ m = 2x

Also,

5m⁴n = 80x⁴y

Divide both sides by 5, to get

m⁴n = 16x⁴y

Put m = 2x into the equation

(2x)⁴n = 16x⁴y

16x⁴n = 16x⁴y

∴ n = y

Thus, the expression being expanded is (2x + y)⁵

By binomial expansion, the expansion of (2x + y)⁵  is

(2x + y)⁵ = (2x)⁵ + 5(2x)⁴y + 10(2x)³(y)² + 10(2x)²(y)³ + 5(2x)(y)⁴ + y⁵

(2x + y)⁵ = 32x⁵ + (5×16)x⁴y + (10×8)x³(y)² + (10×4)x²(y)³ + (5×2)x(y)⁴ + y⁵

(2x + y)⁵ = 32x⁵ + 80x⁴y + 80x³y² + 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵

Hence, the last three terms of the given binomial expansion are 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵

Which term describes a fraction that has a variable or variable expression in its numerator, its denominator, or both?
inna [77]
<span>The right answers is B. Rational expression.

This is true given that the statement establishes a term that describes a fraction that has a <em>variable or variable expression</em> in its numerator, denominator or both, that is, this is the concept of the quotient of two polynomials called rational expression. Finally, we can get the following rational expressions that matches with this concept, namely:

</span>(1) \ \frac{1}{x} \\ \\ (2) \ \frac{2x-1}{x+1} \\ \\ (3) \ \frac{x^{2}-1}{x^{2}+1}<span>

Do the results support or contradict the common belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6degrees​F? A. The results contradic
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

A. The results contradict the belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6 °F because both the mean and the median are less than 98.6 °F.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the temperature data were those in the table below.

You would have calculated that

  Mean = 97.9 °F

Median = 97.9 °F

These observations contradict the belief that the mean body temperature is 98.6 °F.

A 2017 study found the mean oral temperature of more than 35 000 British patients was 97.9 °F.

Suppose there are three balls in a box. On one of the balls is the number 1, on another is the number 2, and on the third is the
quester [9]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) X is a discrete uniform distribution. As the number of outcomes is only 3.

b) sum is at least 4

X ≥ 4

i.e  (1,3) or (2,3)

probability of X ≥ 4 is 2/3

2/3= 0.667

66.7 % is the probability of the outcome to have  a sum at least 4.

c) The 3 likely outcome of X

<em>(1,2) where X ; </em> 1+2=3

<em>(1,3) where X ;</em> 1+3=4

<em>(2,3) where X ;</em>  2+3=5

Mean = 3+4+5/ 3

Mean = 4
