Answer:

0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2:3, then

  • there are 2x boys;
  • there are 3x girls.

If there are 18 girls in the class, then

3x=18\\ \\x=6

Thus, there are

  • 2\cdot 6=12 boys;
  • 3\cdot 6=18 girls;
  • 12+18=30 students in total.

The probability of a boy being in the class is

P=\dfrac{12}{30}=\dfrac{2}{5}=0.4

A school plays a series of 6 soccer matches. For each match there are 3 possibilities: a win, a draw or a loss. How
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

There are 729 possible results are there for the series

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have n trials, each with m possible outcomes, the total number of possible outcomes is:

T = m^{n}

In this question:

6 games(trials), so n = 6.

Each with three possible outcomes, so m = 3

Then:

T = 3^{6} = 729

There are 729 possible results are there for the series

Simplify your answer to the previous part and enter a differential equation in terms of the dependent variable xx satisfied by x
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

x'-5x=0, or x''-25x=0, or x'''-125x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

The function x(t)=e^{5t} is infinitely differentiable, so it satisfies a infinite number of differential equations. The required answer depends on your previous part, so I will describe a general procedure to obtain the equations.

Using rules of differentiation, we obtain that x'(t)=5e^{5t}=5x \text{ then }x'-5x=0. Differentiate again to obtain, x''(t)=25e^{5t}=25x=5x' \text{ then }x''-25x=0=x''-5x'. Repeating this process, x'''(t)=125e^{5t}=125x=25x' \text{ then }x'''-125x=0=x'''-25x'.

This can repeated infinitely, so it is possible to obtain a differential equation of order n. The key is to differentiate the required number of times and write the equation in terms of x.
