Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97

After being treated with chemotherapy, the radius of the tumor decreased by 23%. What is the corresponding percentage decrease i
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that tumor has an spherical geometry, whose volume (V) is calculated by:

V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}

Where R is the radius of the tumor.

The percentage decrease in the volume of the tumor (\%V) is expressed by:

\%V = \frac{\Delta V}{V_{o}} \times 100\,\%

Where:

\Delta V - Absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor.

V_{o} - Initial volume of the tumor.

The absolute decrease in the volume of the tumor is:

\Delta V = V_{o}-V_{f}

\Delta V = \frac{4\pi}{3}\cdot (R_{f}^{3}-R_{o}^{3})

The percentage decrease is finally simplified:

\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{R_{f}}{R_{o}}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%

Given that R_{o} = R and R_{f} = 0.77\cdot R, the percentage decrease in the volume of tumor is:

\%V = \left[1-\left(\frac{0.77\cdot R}{R}\right)^{3} \right]\times 100\,\%

\%V = 54.34\,\%

The volume of the tumor experimented a decrease of 54.34 percent.

Strike441 [17]

Answer: 76

Step-by-step explanation:

well, we know that 15% of the X is 12, so we first use 6 15%, which is 90% 6X12=72. next, we would use 12/3, which is 4. 72+4=76.

Can someone give me the answers for the number frame and how you did it, I’m confused :)
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

16, 56, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you have to put in each cell the multiplication of the row and the column, so the columns are 2, 7, 4 etc., and the row is always 8.

First cell: 2x8 = 16

Second cell: 7x8 = 56

and so on

It teaches you to apply the multiplication in a random sequence; you should be able to do this in your head.
