Of police academy applicants, only 25% will pass all the examinations. suppose that 12 successful candidates are needed. what is

the probability that, by examining 20 candidates, the academy finds all of the 12 persons needed?

The probability is 0.0008.

I used a binomial probability on this one, since there are two outcomes (either pass or fail); the events are independent (the probability of one person passing does not influence the probability of another passing); and there are a fixed number of trials (in this case, 20).

For binomial probabilities, we use the formula:
$_nC_k=p^k*(1-p)^{n-k}$

With our information, we have:

Can someone please tell me the answer to x + x + y x y

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2x+1y

Step-by-step explanation:

because a variable (the letter) is always 1, in that case 1 + 1 is 2 and 1 x 1 is 1. but since x and y are two different letters you cannot add them. hoped that helped :)

4t+ 3.5 = 2.25 solve the equation

Fantom [35]

Answer:

-0.3125

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3.5 from both sides

4t = -1.25

Divide both sides by 4

t =. -0.3125

[30 POINTS] Please help!!!

Len [333]

Answer:

Part 1) $y=1.5x+5$

Part 2) $y=-(2/3)x-(11/3)$

Part 3) $y=0.25x+2.75$

Part 4) $y=-2x+5$

Part 5) $y=0.5x-1$

Part 6) The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$m=3/2=1.5$

$point(-2,2)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-2=1.5(x+2)$

$y=1.5x+3+2$

$y=1.5x+5$

Part 2) we know that

If two lines are perpendicular

then

the product of their slopes is equal to minus one

so

$m1*m2=-1$

the slope of the line 1 is equal to

$m1=1.5$

Find the slope m2

$1.5*m2=-1$

$m2=-2/3$

Find the equation of the line 2

we have

$m2=-2/3$

$point(-7,1)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-1=(-2/3)(x+7)$

$y=-(2/3)x-(14/3)+1$

$y=-(2/3)x-(11/3)$

Part 3) we have

$m=1/4=0.25$

$point(1,3)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y-3=0.25(x-1)$

$y=0.25x-0.25+3$

$y=0.25x+2.75$

Part 4) we have

$m=-2$

$b=5$ -----> y-intercept

we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

substitute the values

$y=-2x+5$

Part 5) we have that

The slope of the line 4 is equal to $-2$

so

the slope of the line perpendicular to the line 4 is equal to

$-2*m=-1\\m=(1/2)=0.5$

therefore

in this problem we have

$m=0.5$

$point(-2,-2)$

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

substitute

$y+2=0.5(x+2)$

$y=0.5x+1-2$

$y=0.5x-1$

Part 6)
