Answer:

0.1527

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a researcher wishes to conduct a study of the color preferences of new car buyers.

Suppose that 50% of this population prefers the color red

15 buyers are randomly selected

Let X be the no of buyers who prefer red.

X has exactly two outcomes red or non red.

Also each buyer is independent of the other

Hence X is binomial with p = 0.5 and n = 15

Required prob =The probability that exactly three-fifths of the buyers would prefer red

= P(X=9)

= $15C9 (0.9)^9 (0.6)^6$

= $5005(0.0000305)=0.1527$

As parallel sides

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 2x+90=180$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 2x=90$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto x=90/2=45$

Now

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 2x+3y+6y+90=360$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 9y+180=360$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 9y=180$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto y=20$

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form. (-5,8) (-8,6)

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

$\sqrt{445}$ cannot be reduced any further, so that's the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

$\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} +(y2-y1)^{2}} \\\\\sqrt{(-8-10)^{2}+(6--5)^{2}}\\\\\sqrt{(-18)^{2}+(11)^{2}}\\\\\sqrt{(324)+(121)}\\\\= \sqrt{445}\\$

Solve the quadratic equation<br> give your answer to 2 decimal places<br> : 3x^2+x-5=0

Dima020 [189]

Given:

The quadratic equation is:

$3x^2+x-5=0$

To find:

The solution for the given equation rounded to 2 decimal places.

Solution:

Quadratic formula: If a quadratic equation is $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , then:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We have,

$3x^2+x-5=0$

Here, $a=3,b=1,c=-5$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(3)(-5)}}{2(3)}$

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1+60}}{6}$

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{61}}{6}$

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm 7.81025}{6}$

Now,

$x=\dfrac{-1+7.81025}{6}$

$x=1.13504167$

$x\approx 1.14$

And

$x=\dfrac{-1-7.81025}{6}$

$x=-1.468375$

$x\approx -1.47$

Therefore, the required solutions are 1.14 and -1.47.
