Answer:

16.68 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean , m = 15

Standard deviation, s = 2

Length of salamander that would Place it at 80% of salamander length :

P(Z ≤ x) = 0.8

Zscore equivalent to 0.8 = 0.842

Using the relation :

Zscore = (x - m) /s

0.842 = (x - 15) / 2

1.684 = x - 15

Add 15 to both sides

1.684 + 15 = x - 15 + 15

16.684 = x

Hence, x = 16.68 cm

Expand<br> (2x - 3)4 <br><br> Can you help me expand this by using the binomial theorem?
saw5 [17]

The value of expanding (2x -3)^4 is 16x^4  + 96x^3  +216x^2 -216x + 81

<h3>How to expand the expression?</h3>

The expression is given as:

(2x -3)^4

Using the binomial expansion, we have:

(2x -3)^4 = ^4C_0 * (2x)^4 * (-3)^0 +^4C_1 * (2x)^3 * (-3)^1 + ^4C_2 * (2x)^2 * (-3)^2 + ^4C_3 * (2x)^1 * (-3)^3 + ^4C_4 * (2x)^0 * (-3)^4

Evaluate the combination factors.

So, we have:

(2x -3)^4 = 1 * (2x)^4 * (-3)^0 + 4 * (2x)^3 * (-3)^1 + 6 * (2x)^2 * (-3)^2 + 4 * (2x)^1 * (-3)^3 + 1 * (2x)^0 * (-3)^4

Evaluate the exponents and the products

(2x -3)^4 = 16x^4  + 96x^3  +216x^2 -216x + 81

Hence, the value of expanding (2x -3)^4 is 16x^4  + 96x^3  +216x^2 -216x + 81

Are 9x and 9x2 like terms? Explain why or why not?
enot [183]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

they are not like terms because the term 9x^2 is to the 2nd power which means that you are supposed to times the number by itself 2 times and 9x is not to the 2nd power so it stays the same.

Write the equation of a line perpendicular to 5x – 4y = - 3 that passes through the point (-5,2).
kolezko [41]

Answer: 5y + 4x = - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines are said to be perpendicular if the product of their gradients = -1.

If the gradient of the first line is m_{1} and the gradient of the second line is m_{2} , if the lines are perpendicular, them

m_{1} x m_{2} = -1 , that is

m_{1} = \frac{-1}{m_{2} }

The equation of the line given is 5x - 4y = -3 , we need to write this equation in slope - intercept form in order to find the slope.

The equation in slope -intercept form is given as :

y =mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

Writing the equation in this form , we have

5x - 4y = + 3

4y = 5x -+3

y = 5x/4 + 3/4

comparing with the equation y = mx + c , then m_{1} = 5/4

Which means that m_{2} = -4/5 and the line passes through the point ( -5 , 2 ).

Using the equation of line in slope - point form  to find the equation of the line;

y - y_{1} = m ( x -  y_{1} )

y - 2 = -4/5 ( x +5)

5(y - 2 ) = -4 ( x + 5 )

5y - 10 = -4x - 20

5y + 4x = - 10

In arguing against the death penalty, Amnesty International has pointed out supposed inequities, such as the many times a black
uysha [10]

Answer:

(a) 0.2824

(b) 0.0002441

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the population is large enough to behave as a binomial distribution (between whites and non-whites), the probability of 12 out of 12 juros being white is:

P(w=12) = p(w)^{12}

Where p(w) is the proportion of the population that is white:

(a) for p = 0.90

P(w=12) = 0.90^{12}\\P(w=12) =0.2824

The probability is 0.2824.

(b) for p = 0.50

P(w=12) = 0.50^{12}\\P(w=12) =0.0002441

The probability is 0.0002441.
