Answer: $\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}$ or $\frac{3}{8}x-8\ \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

$\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{2}x-12)+\frac{4}{5}$

You can follow these steps in order to simplify it:

1. You need to apply Distributive property:

$=\frac{3}{8}x-9+\frac{4}{5}$

2. And now you must add the like terms. Then:

$=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}$

Therefore you get the following answer:

$\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}$ or $\frac{3}{8}x-8\ \frac{1}{5}$

Find the x intercepts and the y intercepts of the line 9x-7y=-12

irakobra [83]

X= 12 and y=12
Explanation: To get the variables alone, you multiply each by 0. That would leave you with x-y=12. So the x is 12 and the y is 12. Hope this helped!

A study of immunizations among school‑age children in California found that some areas had rates of unvaccinated school‑age chil

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a classroom of 20 children in one such area where 13.5% of children are unvaccinated.

If there are no siblings in the classroom, we are willing to consider the vaccination status of the 2020 unrelated children to be independent.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,......$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 20 children

r = number of success = none of the 20 children

p = probability of success which in our case is probability that

children are unvaccinated, i.e; p = 13.5%

Let X = Number of children that are unvaccinated

So, X ~ Binom(n = 20, p = 0.135)

Now, Probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is given by = P(X = 0)

P(X = 0) = $\binom{20}{0} \times 0.135^{0} \times (1-0.135)^{20-0}$

= $1\times 1 \times 0.865^{20}$

= 0.055

Hence, the probability that none of the 20 children in such a classroom would be unvaccinated is 0.055.

In the small hamlet of abaze, two base systems are in common use. also, everyone speaks the truth, and no one changes which base

meriva

Alright, "of the 25 residents", bingo, we have it, 25
wait, 26 people use my base?, wat

ok, so um

anyway, 13 use both, so 13 of the 26 using base 10 are also in the 22 using base 14
so
26+22-13=35 people using bases
and then there is 1 resident not using anything
35+1=36

36 residents

wait, we had 'of the 25 residents, 13 use both and 1 can't use either'
what happened to the other 11, maybe they are using one or the other?

I say 36 residents
