20. Based on student records, 25% of the students at a large high school have a
Elenna [48]

Answer:

(E) 0.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call A the event that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better, A' the event that a student has GPA lower than 3.5, B the event that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class and B' the event that a student is not taking any AP class.

So, the  probability that the student has a GPA lower than 3.5 and is not taking any AP  classes is calculated as:

P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)

it means that the students that have a GPA lower than 3.5 and are not taking any AP  classes are the complement of the students that have a GPA of 3.5 of better or are enrolled in at least one AP class.

Therefore, P(A∪B) is equal to:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

Where the probability P(A) that a student has GPA of 3.5 or better is 0.25, the probability P(B) that a student is enrolled in at least one AP class is 0.16 and the probability P(A∩B) that a student has a GPA of 3.5 or better and is enrolled  in at least one AP class is 0.12

So, P(A∪B) is equal to:

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∪B) = 0.25 + 0.16 - 0.12

P(A∪B) = 0.29

Finally, P(A'∩B') is equal to:

P(A'∩B') = 1 - P(A∪B)

P(A'∩B') = 1 - 0.29

P(A'∩B') = 0.71

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The equation of the quadratic graph is f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 3 (second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus: F=(3,1)=(xf, yf)→xf=3, yf=1

Directrix: y=5 (horizontal line), then the axis of the parabola is vertical, and the equation has the form:

f(x)=[1 / (4p)] (x-h)^2+k

where Vertex: V=(h,k)

The directix y=5 must intercept the axis of the parabola at the point (3,5), and the vertex is the midpoint between this point and the focus:

Vertex is the midpoint between (3,5) and (3,1):

h=(3+3)/2→h=6/2→h=3

k=(5+1)/2→k=6/2→k=3

Vertex: V=(h,k)→V=(3,3)

p=yf-k→p=1-3→p=-2

Replacing the values in the equation:

f(x)= [ 1 / (4(-2)) ] (x-3)^2 + 3

f(x)=[ 1 / (-8) ] (x-3)^2 + 3

f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 3

A submarine is exploring the Pacific Ocean. At 502.5 feet below sea level, the water temperature is 63 1/4°F. The submarine dive
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

-502.5 - 115 = - 617.5

63 1/4 - 2 1/5 =

63 - 2 = 61

1/4 - 1/5 = 5/20 - 4/20 = 1/20

so 63 1/4 - 2 1/5 = 61 1/20

after the sub dove, elevation level is - 617.5 and temp is 61 1/20 F

What is the value of w?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

w = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

10w + 3w + w + 40 = 180    Combine like terms

14w + 40 = 180                    Subtract 40 from both sides

14w = 140                            Divide 14 from both sides

w = 10
