The common difference
(-73 - -40)/(28 - 17) = -3
Term a1: -40 - (-3*(17-1)) = 8
Term a2: 8+-3=5
Term a3: 2
Term a4: -1
Term a5: -4

assume that random guesses are made for 8 multiple choice questions on an SAT test, so that there are n=9 trials, each with prob

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

$P(x$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call x the number of correct questions obtained in the 9 attempts, then:

x is a discrete random variable that can be modeled by a binomial probability distribution p, with n = 9 trials.

So, the p of x successes has the following formula.

$P(x) =\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Where:

n = 9

p = 0.6

We are looking for P(x<4)

By definition:

$P(x$

Then:

$P(x\leq3)=\sum_{x=0}^{3} \frac{9!}{x!(9-x)!}*(0.6)^x(1-0.6)^{9-x}$

$P(x\leq3)=0.0994$

Darnelle drew this figure and the accompanying equations.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Option D. w + x = z

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we have

$w+x+y=180$ ----> equation A

$y+z=180$ ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

$w+x+y=y+z$

Subtract y both sides

$w+x=z$

This equation satisfy the <em><u>Triangle Exterior Angle Theorem</u></em> (An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles)

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Brackets
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

Left to Right

<u>Algebra II</u>

Distance Formula: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

Point (-6, -5)

Point (2, 0)

<u>Step 2: Find distance </u><em><u>d</u></em>

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance <em>d</em>

Substitute [DF]: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(2+6)^2+(0+5)^2}$
Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(8)^2+(5)^2}$
Exponents: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{64+25}$
Add: $\displaystyle d = \sqrt{89}$

Bess [88]

Answer:

about 60% of the weight is chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of the pretzel as a fraction of the total is ...

17/42 × 100% ≈ 40.48%

So, the weight of the chocolate is the fraction ...

100% -40.48% = 59.52% ≈ 60%
