Answer:

0.8 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces are typically used to measure liquid, so I would discourage choosing the top two. And, hopefully you know by now that an orange does not weigh 8 pounds.

Answer:

(a) 0.8 ounces (most precision)

(b) 8 ounces (best precision for likely weight of an orange)

Step-by-step explanation:

The most precision is obtained by using the smallest unit of measure. On this list, the smallest unit of measure is a tenth of an ounce. That is, the measure 0.8 ounces has the most precision.

It is unlikely that the weight of one orange will be 0.8 ounces. The smallest unit used in a measurement likely to correspond to the weight of an orange is 1 ounce, used in the measurement 8 ounces. That measurement has better precision than 0.8 pounds, because 0.1 pounds corresponds to 1.6 ounces.

The points , (−15,1) and , (−7,r) lie on a line with slope 5/4. Find the missing coordinate r. Click image to enlarge

Nadya [2.5K]

The missing coordinate r is 11.

Solution:

Given points are (–15, 1) and (–7, r).

$x_{1}=-15, x_{2}=-7, y_{1}=1 \text { and } y_{2}=7$

Slope (m) = $\frac{5}{4}$

<u>To find the missing coordinate r:</u>

Slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Substitute the given values in the formula.

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{-7-(-15)}$

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{-7+15}$

$$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{r-1}{8}$

Do cross multiplication.

$8 \times 5=4(r-1)$

40 = 4r – 4

Add 4 on both side of the equation.

44 = 4r

Divide by 4 on both side of the equation.

11 = r

⇒ r = 11

Hence the missing coordinate r is 11.

In a MBS first year class, there are three sections each including 20 students. In the first section, there are 10 boys and 10 g

KIM [24]

Answer:

$3.52 \times 10^{-9} = 3.52 \times 10^{-7}\%$ probability that all the 15 students selected are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The selection is from a sample without replacement, so we use the hypergeometric distribution to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

All girls from the first group:

20 students, so $N = 20$

10 girls, so $k = 10$

5 students will be selected, so $n = 5$

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

$P_1 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,10) = \frac{C_{10,5}*C_{10,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.0163$

All girls from the second group:

20 students, so $N = 20$

5 girls, so $k = 5$

5 students will be selected, so $n = 5$

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

$P_2 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,5) = \frac{C_{5,5}*C_{15,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.00006$

All girls from the third group:

20 students, so $N = 20$

8 girls, so $k = 8$

5 students will be selected, so $n = 5$

We want all of them to be girls, so we find P(X = 5).

$P_3 = P(X = 5) = h(5,20,5,8) = \frac{C_{8,5}*C_{12,5}}{C_{20,5}} = 0.0036$

All 15 students are girls:

Groups are independent, so we multiply the probabilities:

$P = P_1*P_2*P_3 = 0.0163*0.00006*0.0036 = 3.52 \times 10^{-9}$

$3.52 \times 10^{-9} = 3.52 \times 10^{-7}\%$ probability that all the 15 students selected are girls

‼️ IM BEING TIMED PLEASE HELP‼️<br><br> Which is the graph of fix) = 4(3)?

dexar [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After graphing the function f(x) = $4(\frac{1}{2})^{x}$ we can see that the correct graph is the middle one in the picture. This is because with an x-input of 1 the value of 1/2 will stay the same and when multiplied by 4 it would give us a y-coordinate of 2 as seen in the middle graph. The y-coordinate keeps decreasing exponentially by half for every increase in the x-coordinate. A zoomed-in version of the graph can be seen in the attached picture below for a better understanding.
