Answer:

58.05% probability that at least 1 of the students is a senior.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the captains are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

Either no seniors are captain, or at least one is. The sum of these probabilities is 100%. The easier way to solve this question is finding the probability of no seniors being captain, and subtratcing 100 from this. So

Probability of no seniors being captain:

Desired outcomes:

Four captains, from a set of 18 + 18 + 15 = 51. So

D = C_{51,4} = \frac{51!}{4!(51-4)!} = 249900

Total outcomes:

Four captains from a set of 18 + 18 + 15 + 12 = 63. So

T = C_{63,4} = \frac{63!}{4!(63-4)!} = 595665

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{249900}{595665} = 0.4195

41.95% probability of no seniors being captains.

Find the probability that at least 1 of the students is a senior.

p + 41.95 = 100

p = 58.05

58.05% probability that at least 1 of the students is a senior.

The price of an item has been reduced by 40%. The original price was $66. Find the price of the item now.
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

$39.60

Step-by-step explanation:

We are finding 66 - 40%

66 less 40% = 60% of 66

60% of 66 is the price of the item now.

Convert 60% to decimal form by dividing by 100.

60%/100 = 0.60

Multiply the decimal form by 66

66 X 0.6 = 39.60

Since we are dealing with money, keep 2 decimal places, even if the last digit is 0.

The price of the item now is $39.60.

What is the sequence of transformations that maps △ABC to △A′B′C′ ? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly identify each s
torisob [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Any 1 of the following transformations will work. There are others that are also possible.

  • translation up 4 units, followed by rotation CCW by 90°.
  • rotation CCW by 90°, followed by translation left 4 units.
  • rotation CCW 90° about the center (-2, -2).
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The order of vertices ABC is clockwise, as is the order of vertices A'B'C'. Thus, if reflection is involved, there are two (or some other even number of) reflections.

The orientation of line CA is to the east. The orientation of line C'A' is to the north, so the figure has been rotated 90° CCW. In general, such rotation can be accomplished by a single transformation about a suitably chosen center. Here, we're told there is <em>a sequence of transformations</em> involved, so a single rotation is probably not of interest.

If we rotate the figure 90° CCW, we find it ends up 4 units east of the final position. So, one possible transformation is 90° CCW + translation left 4 units.

If we rotate the final figure 90° CW, we find it ends up 4 units north of the starting position. So, another possible transformation is translation up 4 units + rotation 90° CCW.

Of course, rotation 90° CCW in either case is the same as rotation 270° CW.

_____

We have described transformations that will work. What we don't know is what is in your drop-down menu lists. There are many other transformations that will also work, so guessing the one you have available is difficult.

Please help me find surface area for each. Round to the nearest tenth if needed.
Degger [83]

Answer:

168 in², 94.25 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

I couldn't find a formula for the SA of a triangular prism so I just found the area of each surface.

The formula for SA of a cylinder is 2\pi rh+2\pi r^{2}

All work for triangular prism is in the image
