One person is selected at random from a class of 20 males and 13 females. Find the odds against selecting a male and a female

Mathematics

spin [16.1K]3 years ago
7 0

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

Solve this please .......​
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The sum of reciprocals is 2/3.

You don't need complex numbers to solve this, but if you try to find a and b you will need complex numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b = 2

a*b = 3

1/a + 1/b = x

(a*b)*(1/a + 1/b) = (a*b)x

b + a = (a*b)(x)

2 = 3x

x = 2/3

b = 2 - a

a*(2 - a) = 3

-a^2 + 2a = 3

-a^2 + 2a - 3 = 0

a^2 - 2a + 3 = 0

let's solve the quadratic equation

a^2 - 2a + 3 = a^2 - 2a + 1 + 2 = (a - 1)^2 + 2 = 0

(a - 1)^2 = -2

a_1 - 1 = \sqrt{2}i\\a_1 = 1+\sqrt{2}i\\\\a_2 - 1 = -\sqrt{2}i\\a_2 = 1 - \sqrt{2}i\\

these options correspond to a and b from the original question.

Two cars leave Phoenix and travel along roads 90 degrees apart. If Car 1 leaves 60 minutes earlier than Car 2 and averages 40 mp
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The two cars will be almost 188 miles far from each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel Time for Car 1 = t = 3.5 hours

Travel time for Car 2 = t-1 = 3.5 - 1 = 2.5 hours

Average speed of car 1 = 40 mph

Average speed of car 2 = 50 mph

Distance traveled by Car 1 = 40*3.5 = 140 miles

Distance Traveled by Car 2 = 50*2.5 = 125 miles

As both the roads are at a 90 degree angle. The path of the two cars and the joining line of their final position forms a right angle triangle where:

altitude = a = 140

base = b = 125

Distance of cars after 3.5 hours = c = ?

According to Pythagoras theorem:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

c^2 = 140² + 125²

c² = 19600+15625

c = √35225

c = 187.68

Almost 188 miles.
