Answer:

The probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race is 0.1047

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 25% of all who enters a race do not complete.

30 have entered.

what is the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race?

So, We will use binomial

Formula : P(X=r) =^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}

p is the probability of success i.e. 25% = 0.25

q is the probability of failure =  1- p  = 1-0.25 = 0.75

We are supposed to find the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race

n = 30

r = 5

P(X=5) =^{30}C_5 (0.25)^5 (0.75)^{30-5}

P(X=5) =\frac{30!}{5!(30-5)!} \times(0.25)^5 (0.75)^{30-5}

P(X=5) =0.1047

Hence the probability that exactly 5 are unable to complete the  race is 0.1047

Find the slope of line passing through the two points, (7, 1) and (-2, 1).
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: m = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) = y2 - y1/,x2 - x1 : meaning increase in y divided by increase in x . it can also be written as ∆y/∆x

y1= 1, y2 = 1, x1 = 7, x2 = -2

Substitute for those values in the equation above

m = 1 -1/-2 - 7

= 0/-9

Therefore,

m = 0

The slope of the line passing through those coordinates = 0

What is the axis of symmetry of the function f(x)=-(x+9)(x-21)
Firlakuza [10]
Carry out the mult.:  f(x) = -[x^2 - 21x + 9x - 189] 

Combine like terms:  f(x) = -[x^2 - 12x - 189]
Eliminate the brackets [   ]:      f(x) = -x^2 + 12x + 189
Identify coefficients a, b and c:   a= -1, b=12, c=189

The equation of the axis of symmetry is    x = -b/(2a), which here equals

x = -(12)/[2(-1)], or     x = 6

This is also the x-coordinate of the vertex.  Plug x=6 into the original equation to calculate the y-coordinate.

Find the product. (4m^2 – 5)(4m^2 + 5)
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 16m^4−25


Step-by-step explanation:

(4m^2−5)(4m^2+5)

=(4m^2+−5)(4m^2+5)

=(4m^2)(4m^2)+(4m^2)(5)+(−5)(4m^2)+(−5)(5)

=16m^4+20m^2−20m^2−25

=16m^4−25

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The second one for both a and b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first cereal box is:

8•3•11=264 inches cubed

the second cereal box is:

10•10•3=300 inches cubed

a. The box that holds more cereal would be the second one, since it has more volume.

b. The box that requires more material to make is the second one, since the it is bigger in volume, therefore, bigger in length and width.
