Answer:

Odds for male= 1.538

Odds for female =  0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking for odds, not a probability. A probability shows how much the chance for the event to happen, so it can be expressed as a percentage. Odds show how the event more likely to happen compared to the chance it did not happen. If an event has a 90% probability, the odds will be 90:10= 9

In this case, the odds of selecting a male will be:  

number of male : number of female= 20:13 = 1.538

The odds of selecting a female will be

number of female : number of male = 13/20 = 0.65

A parabola y=1/2x^2-4x+21 can you help me find the vertex form of this parabola please and thank you :)
ale4655 [162]
Ok 
First factor out the first 2 terms as follows:-

y  = 1/2(x^2 - 8x) + 21

Now complete the square on x^2 - 8x:-

y = 1/2[ (x - 4)^2 - 16] + 21

y = 1/2(x - 4)^2 - 8 + 21

y = 1/2(x - 4)^2 + 13   Answer

Write a polynomial function in it's factored form with zeros 5, -1, and 2
inna [77]

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If a polynomial function has roots a, b, and c, then it is (x - a)(x - b)(x - c).

The roots here are 5, 1, and 2, so the factors are

(x - 5)(x - (1))(x - 2)

The function is:

(x - 5)(x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
