2x + 8 = 50

Subtract 8 from both sides

2x = 42

Divide both by 2

x = 21

Let, the number = x

then, 2x+8 = 50

2x = 42

x = 21

Three cards are drawn from a standard deck of 52 cards without replacement. Find the probability that the first card is an ace,

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$4.82\cdot 10^{-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In a deck of cart, we have:

a = 4 (aces)

t = 4 (three)

j = 4 (jacks)

And the total number of cards in the deck is

n = 52

So, the probability of drawing an ace as first cart is:

$p(a)=\frac{a}{n}=\frac{4}{52}=\frac{1}{13}=0.0769$

At the second drawing, the ace is not replaced within the deck. So the number of cards left in the deck is

$n-1=51$

Therefore, the probability of drawing a three at the 2nd draw is

$p(t)=\frac{t}{n-1}=\frac{4}{51}=0.0784$

Then, at the third draw, the previous 2 cards are not replaced, so there are now

$n-2=50$

cards in the deck. So, the probability of drawing a jack is

$p(j)=\frac{j}{n-2}=\frac{4}{50}=0.08$

Therefore, the total probability of drawing an ace, a three and then a jack is:

$p(atj)=p(a)\cdot p(j) \cdot p(t)=0.0769\cdot 0.0784 \cdot 0.08 =4.82\cdot 10^{-4}$

Human body temperatures have a mean of 98.20° F and a standard deviation of 0.62° F. Sally's temperature can be described by z =

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Sally's temperature is 97.27 °F.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the information given in the question tells us that the human body temperatures are normally distributed with a population's mean = 98.20°F and a standard deviation = 0.62°F.

The question gives us Sally's temperature in a z-score. We have to remember that the standard normal distribution is a particular case of a normal distribution where the mean = 0 and the standard deviation = 1.

Using the standard normal distribution, we can determine every probability associated with a normal distribution "transforming" the raw scores, coming from normally distributed data, into z-scores.

A z-score gives us the distance from the population's mean and is in standard deviation units. So, a z = 1.5 tells us that the value is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean. Conversely, a z = -1.5 tells us that the raw score is also 1.5 standard deviation from the mean, but in the opposite direction, that is, below the mean.

The formula for a z-score is as follows:

$\\ z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ (1)

Where

$\\ x\;is\;the\;raw\;score$ .

$\\ \mu\;is\;the\;population\;mean$ .

$\\ \sigma\;is\;the\;population\;standard\;deviation$ .

Then to find x (or the raw score, that is, Sally's temperature), we need to solve the formula (1) for it to finally solve the question.

Then

$\\ \mu = 98.20^\circF$ °F

$\\ \sigma = 0.62^\circF$ °F

$\\ z = -1.5$

Thus (with no units)

$\\ -1.5 = \frac{x - 98.20}{0.62}$

$\\ (-1.5*0.62) = x - 98.20$

$\\ (-1.5*0.62) + 98.20 = x$

$\\ x = (-1.5*0.62) + 98.20$

$\\ -0.93 + 98.20$

$\\ x = 97.27$ °F

Thus, Sally's temperature is $\\ x = 97.27$ °F (rounding the answer to the nearest hundredth).

Please explain how to find the simplest form of 7/28! I did it in 5th grade but forgot! Explain please.

Lapatulllka [165]

$\sf \frac{7}{28} = \frac{7 \times 1}{7\times 4}\\ We~can~divide~by~7~on~both~the~numerator~and~denominator\\\frac{7\times 1\div 7}{7\times 4\div 7} = \frac{1}{4}$

So in simplest form it would be 1/4
