Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 20 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The vertices of the parallelogram are (0 , -2) , (3 , 2) , (8 , 2) , (5 , -2)

- The side joining the points (0 , -2) and (5 , -2) is a horizontal side

because the points have same y-coordinates

- The side joining the points (3 , 2) and (8 , 2) is a horizontal side

because the points have same y-coordinates

∴ These two sides are parallel bases of the parallelogram

∵ The length of any horizontal side = x2 - x1

∴ The length of the side = 5 - 0 = 5 <em>or</em> 8 - 3 = 5

∴ The length of one base of the parallelogram is 5 units

- The height of this base is the vertical distance between these two

parallel bases

∵ The length of any vertical distance = y2 - y1

∵ y2 = 2 and y1 = -2 ⇒ the y-coordinates of the parallel bases

∴ The length of the vertical distance = 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4 units

∵ This vertical distance between the two parallel bases is the height

of these bases

∴ The height of the parallelogram is 4 units

- The area of the parallelogram = base × height

∵ The base = 5 units and the height = 4 units

∴ The area = 5 × 4 = 20 units²

* The area of the parallelogram is 20 units²

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a) The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

b) No, it is unlikely that smoking habits and waking up early to go to the gym on Saturday are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the expected numbers of smokers in a sample with size n=140 and proportion p=12%, we use the expected value of the binomial distribution:

$E(x)=n\cdot p=140\cdot 0.12=16.8$

The expected number of smokers in a random sample of 140 students from this university is 16.8 smokers.

If we take a sample at the opening of the gym, the sample is not expected to be representative of the population of the students. Most of the students that go to the gym usually have healthy habits, so the proportions of smokers is expected to be lower than the average of the university population.

Answer:

1766.3

Step-by-step explanation:

V=4 /3πr^3

= 4/3(3.14)(7.5)^3

= 4/3(3.14)(421.88)

= 4/3(1324.69)

= 1766.25

= 1766.3

I hope this is right!

Answer:

243/506

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 24 total juice boxes.

18 of them are not grape

You have an 18/24 chance of picking not grape juice

The second time, 1 is removed, then another is removed. This creates:

(18/24)*(18/23)*(18/22) = 243/506

victus00 [196]

Amount of money received when x tickets are sold=$Y

Number of tickets sold=X

Slope of line= $\frac{1}{4}$

And , y- intercept = 8

Equation of line having slope m and y-intercept c is given by,

y = m x + c,

Expressing the above statement in terms of linear equation in two variable i.e a line is

Y = $\frac{1}{4}$ X + 8
