Step-by-step explanation:

6k + 12 + 9=9

6k + 12 = 9 - 9

6k + 12 = 0

12 = -6k

12/-6 = -6k/-6

2/-1 = k

k = -2

Answer:

k=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

6k+12+9=9

subtract 9 from both sides

6k+12=0

subtract 12 from not sides

6k= -12

divide both sides by 6 (isolating the variable)

k= -12/6

simplify

k= -2

Eight percent of all college graduates hired by companies stay with the same company for more than five years. The probability,

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.1662 = 16.62% probability that exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they stay for the same company for more than five years, or they do not. Graduates are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

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 combinations 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.

Eight percent of all college graduates hired by companies stay with the same company for more than five years.

This means that $p = 0.08$

Sample of 11 college graduates:

This means that $n = 11$

The probability, rounded to four decimal places, that in a random sample of 11 such college graduates hired recently by companies, exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years is: the absolute tolerance is +-0.0001

The tolerance means that the answer is rounded to four decimal places.

The probability is P(X = 2). So

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

$P(X = 2) = C_{11,2}.(0.08)^{2}.(0.92)^{11} = 0.1662$

0.1662 = 16.62% probability that exactly 2 will stay with the same company for more than five years

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = $5\frac{1}{3}\ feet$

Width of the box = $3\frac{3}{4}\ feet$

Perimeter of a rectangle = $2(l+w)$

where $l$ represents length of rectangle and $w$ represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = $2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet$

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒ $2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet$ (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒ $2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

Whole number 8 can be written as $\frac{8}{1}$

⇒ $2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})$ feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒ $2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12})$ feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒ $2(\frac{96+4+9}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2(\frac{109}{12})$ feet

⇒ $2\times \frac{109}{12}$ feet

⇒ $\frac{218}{12}$ feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ $18\frac{2}{12}$ feet

Simplifying fractions to simplest form.

⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet

Perimeter =⇒ $18\frac{1}{6}$ feet (Answer)
