Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First prime factorize each number; this means breaking up the number into the product of only prime numbers.

24 = $2^3*3$

36 = $2^2*3^2$

72 = $2^3*3^2$

Looking at these three numbers, we see that the biggest number they share is of the form: $2^2*3$ , where is just 12.

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps!

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the GCF by seeing if the number is divisible so for 9 24/9 isn’t a integer so no for 12 24 36 and 72 are divisible so it maybe the answer for 24 36/24 isnt a integer for 18 24/18 isn’t a integer

Andru [333]

Answer:

$\left(4p-7\right)\left(3p^2+7\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$12p^3-21p^2+28p-49$

$\left(12p^3-21p^2\right)+\left(28p-49\right)$

$7\left(4p-7\right)$

$3p^2\left(4p-7\right)$

$7\left(4p-7\right)+3p^2\left(4p-7\right)$

$\left(4p-7\right)\left(3p^2+7\right)$

If the standard deviation of a set of data is zero, what can you conclude about the set of values? The sum of the deviations fro

Rashid [163]

Answer:

All values are identical.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

If the standard deviation of a set of data is zero.

Then, all the values in data are identical.

This can be shown as:

Let all the terms in data be x.

Formula:

$\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n}}$

where $x_i$ are data points, $\bar{x}$ is the mean and n is the number of observations.

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{nx}{n} = x$

Sum of squares of differences =

$\displaystyle\sum (x_i - x)^2 = 0$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0}{n}} = 0$

Thus, the correct answer is

All values are identical.

The term that you want is 5C2*p^2*q^3 representing 2 successes and 3 failures. This term's value is

(5C2)(0.5^5) = 10*0.03125 = 0.3125 = P(2 successes in 5 trials) =31.3%
