Step-by-step explanation:

Since KQ bisects RS, we have KR = 0.5SR.

=> 2x - 8 = 0.5(x - 1)

=> 2x - 8 = 0.5x - 0.5

=> 1.5x = 7.5, x = 5.

Allen wants to have a mean of 90 on his math quizzes. So far, he has scored 86, 94, 88, 95, and 89. What is the least score that

viva [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{86 + 94 + 88 + 95 + 89 + x}{6} = 90$

The mean would be the sum of all the math quiz grades divided by the number of quizzes taken.

Solve for x:

$86 + 94 + 88 + 95 + 89 + x = 540$

$452 + x = 540$

$x = 88$

Thus, Allen needs at least an 88 to obtain a mean of at least 90.

Two non-simultaneous events have an equal likelihood of occurring (50%). If the events are independent of each other, what is th

BARSIC [14]

There are 4 possibilities:

1) No event happens
2) event A happens, not event B
3) event B happens, not event A
4) both events happen

seeing as there is a 50% chance of either event happening, I would assume that all 4 possibilities have an equal chance of happening

so if there are 4 events, then each one is 25% likely.

So the probability if them both occurring is 25%

I think

A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanks

klio [65]

Answer:

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in favor of making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday, or they are against. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

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

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

And p is the probability of X happening.

So, the binomial probability distribution has two parameters, n and p.

In this problem, we have that $n = 1000$ and $p = \frac{700}{1000} = 0.7$ . So the parameter is

a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
