Answer:

16.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

If at least 7 are female, that means either 7 or 8 are female.

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr pʳ qⁿ⁻ʳ

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1−p).

Here, n = 8, p = 0.65, and r = 7 or 8.

P = ₈C₇ (0.65)⁷ (0.35)⁸⁻⁷ + ₈C₈ (0.65)⁸ (0.35)⁸⁻⁸

P = (8) (0.65)⁷ (0.35)¹ + (1) (0.65)⁸ (0.35)⁰

P = 8 (0.65)⁷ (0.35) + (0.65)⁸

P = 0.169

There was 5/8 of a pie left in the fridge. Daniel are 1/4 of the left over pie. How much of a pie did he eat
oee [108]

Answer:

vvvv

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make it so 1/4 is an eighth so you can subtract it from 5/8.

1/4 x 2 = 2/8

2. Subtract 2/8 from 5/8.

5/8 - 2/8 = 3/8

Daniel ate 2/8s of the left over pie, and there is 3/8s remaining.

Write an equation for the translation of y = |x|. 13 units down
olga55 [171]
The idea for transitions for an equation like this is
y = m|x - h| + k
where m = slope
h = how much left or right (note the negative)
k = how much up or down

moving 13 down would mean
k = -13

so
y = |x| - 13
D. would be your answer

What is the slope-intercept equation of a line with slope 2.5 and y-intercept -8?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

y = 2.5x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2.5 and c = - 8 , then

y = 2.5x - 8 ← equation of line
