I think it is d because it would be 15 x b = 60. Hope I got this right

True or false? The circumcenter of a triangle is the center of the only circle that can be circumscribed about it

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement we have to tell the statement is true or false.

The statement is

"The circumcenter of a triangle is the center of the only circle that can be circumscribed about it"

The circumcenter of triangle is the point in the triangle where the perpendicular bisectors of sides intersect.

The center of the circumscribed circle is the the point where the perpendicular bisectors of the sides meet.

Hence,

The circumcenter is also center of the triangle's circumcircle - the circle that pass through all three of the triangle's vertices.

Therefore, the given statement is true.

A survey on British Social Attitudes asked respondents if they had ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons (Statesman, January

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a) 27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) 41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) 41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

23% of the respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons.

This means that $p = 0.23$

a) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 6. So

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{6,2}.(0.23)^{2}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.2789$

27.89% probability that two have ever boycotted goods for ethical reasons

b) In a sample of six British citizens, what is the probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Either less than two have, or at least two. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 2) + P(X \geq 2) = 1$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.23)^{0}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.2084$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.23)^{1}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.3735$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2084 + 0.3735 = 0.5819$

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.5819 = 0.4181$

41.81% probability that at least two respondents have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

c) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons?

Now n = 10.

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

$P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.23)^{3}.(0.77)^{7} = 0.2343$

$P(X = 4) = C_{10,4}.(0.23)^{4}.(0.77)^{6} = 0.1225$

$P(X = 5) = C_{10,5}.(0.23)^{5}.(0.77)^{5} = 0.0439$

$P(X = 6) = C_{10,6}.(0.23)^{6}.(0.77)^{4} = 0.0109$

$P(3 \leq X \leq 6) = P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.2343 + 0.1225 + 0.0439 + 0.0109 = 0.4116$

41.16% probability that between 3 and 6 have boycotted goods for ethical reasons

d) In a sample of ten British citizens, what is the expected number of people that have boycotted goods for ethical reasons? Also find the standard deviation.

$E(X) = np = 10*0.23 = 2.3$

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{10*0.23*0.77} = 1.33$

The expected number is 2.3 and the standard deviation is 1.33.

Alexa and rose read books that have the same number of pages. Alexa’s book divided into 8 equal chapters.roses book is divided i

Elena-2011 [213]

Let's list out what we already know:
Alexa's book is into 8 chapters
Rose's book is into 6 chapters
So since they are out of how many chapters, they number of chapters their books are split into will be the denominator of each fraction. Each girl has already read 3 chapters, so they'll have 3 as their numerator.
Alexa: 3/8
Rose:3/6
We can see that Rose is already at half of the book while Alexa's half would be 4/8, and she isn't there yet. So Rose read more of her book.
