15.5-3.5=12. this is how many hours he has worked already.

12/1⅓=9. this is because how many hours he has worked per how many hours he worked per day to show how many days he worked

the answer is 9 days.

12hours * 1day/1⅓ hours
^^ignore that if it doesn't make sense, but basically the hours will cancel and you'd be left with days as your only unit to show why you would divide 12 by 1⅓


hope this helped!

The line x+ 2y = 9 intersects the curve xy + 18 = 0 at the points A and B. Find the coordinates of A and B.
victus00 [196]
Subtracting the second equation by 18 on both sides, we have xy=-18. Next, we divide both sides by x to get y=-18/x  Plugging that into the first equation, we have x+2(-18/x)=9. Multiplying both sides by x, we get x^2-36=9x. After that, we subtract both sides by 9x to get x^2-9x-36=0. Finding 2 numbers that add up to -9 but multiply to -36, we do a bit of guess and check to find the answers to be -12 and 3. Factoring it, we get 
x^2-12x+3x-36=x(x-12)+3(x-12)=(x+3)(x-12). To find the x values, we have to find out when 0=(x+3)(x-12). This is simple as when you multiply 0 with anything, it is 0. Therefore, x=-3 and 12. Plugging those into x=-18/y, we get x=-18/y and by multiplying y to both sides, we get xy=-18 and then  we can divide both sides by x to get -18/x=y. Plugging -3 in, we get -18/-3=6 and by plugging 12 in we get -18/12=-1.5. Therefore, our points are (-3,6) and (12, -1.5)

A student takes an exam containing 1414 multiple choice questions. The probability of choosing a correct answer by knowledgeable
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 14, p = 0.3.

If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?

He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{14,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{5} = 0.0066

P(X = 10) = C_{14,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{4} = 0.0014

P(X = 11) = C_{14,11}.(0.3)^{11}.(0.7)^{3} = 0.0002

P(X = 12) = C_{14,12}.(0.3)^{12}.(0.7)^{2} = 0.000024

P(X = 13) = C_{14,13}.(0.3)^{13}.(0.7)^{1} = 0.000002

P(X = 14) = C_{14,14}.(0.3)^{14}.(0.7)^{0} \cong 0

P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) = 0.0066 + 0.0014 + 0.0002 + 0.000024 + 0.000002 = 0.0082

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass
