<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Probability that the surgery is successful for exactly 6 patients is 0.088.</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<em>The total number of patients is 10 and the probability of success is 0.8.</em>

We have to determine the probability of success of the surgery of exactly 6 patients.

<em>6 patients can be selected from 10 patients in nC_r  ways.</em>

<em>nC_r=10C_6= \frac {10!}{6!(10-6)!}</em>

<em>= \frac{10!}{(6! \times 4!)}</em>

<em>= \frac {3628800}{(720 \times 24)}</em>

<em>=210</em>

Let us consider a combination SSSSSSFFFF where S denotes success and F denotes failure. The probability of this combination is given by

<em>0.8^6 \times 0.2^4  since the chance of success is 0.8 and chance of failure is 0.2.</em>

There are 210 such different combinations possible and the probability of every combination is the same. So we have to sum up all the probabilities to determine the final probability.

<em>Therefore the probability that surgery is successful for 6 patients is 0.8^6 \times 0.2^4 \times 210=0.088</em>

Answer:

A. vertex, (3, 0); y-intercept 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite in vertex form and use this form to find the vertex  

( h , k ) . ( 3 , 0 )

To find the x-intercept, substitute in  0  for  y  and solve for  x . To find the y-intercept, substitute in  0  for  x  and solve for  y .

x-intercept(s):  

( 3 , 0 )

y-intercept(s):  

( 0 , 4.5 )

Zoe has a board 5 1/4 long. she cut off a piece. now the board is 3 5/6 feet long. how long was the piece she cut off
KatRina [158]
The piece Zoe cut off would be 1 and 5/12 ft long.
5 and 1/4 - 3 and 5/6
The least common denominator is 24.
5 and 6/24 - 3 and 20/24
5 and 6/24 becomes 4 and 30/24
4 and 30/24 - 3 and 20/24 = 1 and 10/24
1 and 10/24 can be simplified to 1 and 5/12.

Find the slope and y-intercept of the graph. y=5x-3
storchak [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

your m is the slope and your b is the y-intercept

so for y=5x-3 your slope would be 5 and your y-intercept would be -3
