Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

b and c = $\sqrt{50}$ because 10 x 5 = 50

therefore the fraction is √2/ √50

to simplify you need to simplify the √50 into a number of √2 as the top is √2

√50 = √25 x √2

= 5√2

√2/5√2 = 1/5 if you divide both top and bottom by √2

finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

$\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}$

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

For $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ , number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ is:

$P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}$

For $P(\text{girl as alternate})$ , number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

$P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}$

So, the required probability is:

$\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}$

the length of a rectangle is 2 in more than it's w i d t h the area of a rectangle is equal to 1 inch less than three times a pe

Marizza181 [45]

If we let x and y represent length and width, respectively, then we can write equations according to the problem statement.
.. x = y +2
.. xy = 3(2(x +y)) -1

This can be solved a variety of ways. I find a graphing calculator provides an easy solution: (x, y) = (13, 11).

The length of the rectangle is 13 inches.
The width of the rectangle is 11 inches.

______
Just so you're aware, the problem statement is nonsensical. You cannot compare perimeter (inches) to area (square inches). You can compare their numerical values, but the units are different, so there is no direct comparison.

The equation formula of the circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
where (h,k) the point of the center of the circle
and (r) is the radius of the circle
so if the center of the circle = (-2,-4)
by subs. in the formula we get (x-(-2))^2 + (y-(-4))^2 = r^2
then the equation will be (x+2)^2 + (y+4)^2 = r^2
now we want to define the radius of the circle r
since point (3,8) lay on the circle so we can
then subs. in the equation to get the radius
(x+2)^2 +(y+4)^2 = r^2
(3+2)^2 +(8+4)^2 = r^2
25 + 144 = r^2
r^2 = 169
r= 13
the radius of the circle is 13
so by subs in the equation we get
(x+2)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 169
so it is the first answer in the choices

A private and a public university are located in the same city. For the private university, 1038 alumni were surveyed and 647 sa

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The difference in the sample proportions is not statistically significant at 0.05 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Significance level is missing, it is α=0.05

Let p(public) be the proportion of alumni of the public university who attended at least one class reunion

p(private) be the proportion of alumni of the private university who attended at least one class reunion

Hypotheses are:

$H_{0}$ : p(public) = p(private)

$H_{a}$ : p(public) ≠ p(private)

The formula for the test statistic is given as:

z= $\frac{p1-p2}{\sqrt{{p*(1-p)*(\frac{1}{n1} +\frac{1}{n2}) }}}$ where

p1 is the sample proportion of public university students who attended at least one class reunion ( $\frac{808}{1311}=0.616$ )

p2 is the sample proportion of private university students who attended at least one class reunion ( $\frac{647}{1038}=0.623$ )

p is the pool proportion of p1 and p2 ( $\frac{808+647}{1311+1038}=0.619$ )

n1 is the sample size of the alumni from public university (1311)

n2 is the sample size of the students from private university (1038)

Then z= $\frac{0.616-0.623}{\sqrt{{0.619*0.381*(\frac{1}{1311} +\frac{1}{1038}) }}}$ =-0.207

Since p-value of the test statistic is 0.836>0.05 we fail to reject the null hypothesis.
