Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply guess and check, meaning the boys category must be divisible by 2 and the girls category must be divisible by 3

A: 24 boys ÷ 2 = 12 (equals a whole number so it is divisible; not a decimal)

36 girls ÷ 3 = 12 (both of the boys and girls are divisible by their corresponding numbers)

Yes

Now make sure the boys are a lower count than the girls as the ratio says it should be 2 to 3, meaning there are more girls than boys

B: 20 ÷ 2 = 10 (divisible)

35 ÷ 3 = 11.666 (this is a decimal answer so it is not divisible)

C: 36 ÷ 2 = 18

24 ÷ 3 = 8

Yes, they are divisible

Now lets check if boys have a lower count than girls

36 boys > 24 girls

This is not the solution as it doesn't reflect the correct ratio of less boys than girls

D: 35 ÷ 2 = 17.5 (not divisible)

20 ÷ 3 = 6.66 (not divisible)

90 POINTS!!!!! Given: KLIJ inscr. in k(O),m∠K = 64°, measure of arc LI = 69°, measure of arc IJ = 59°, measure of arc KJ =97°

In any cyclic quadrilateral, angles opposite one another are supplementary, meaning

$m\angle K+m\angle I=m\angle L+m\angle J=180^\circ$

and given that $\boxed{m\angle K=64^\circ}$ , we have $\boxed{m\angle I=116^\circ}$ .

By the inscribed angle theorem,

$m\angle JLK=\dfrac12m\widehat{KJ}$

$m\angle ILJ=\dfrac12m\widehat{IJ}$

and since

$m\angle L=m\angle JLK+m\angle ILJ$

we have

$m\angle L=\dfrac{97^\circ+59^\circ}2\implies\boxed{m\angle L=78^\circ}$

and it follows that

$m\angle J=180^\circ-m\angle L\implies\boxed{m\angle J=102^\circ}$

CCA has stated in 2017 that 36.5 % of its students are first generation college students.Suppose you sample 15 CCA students and

nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for binomial distribution is expressed as

P(x = r) = nCr × p^r × q^(n - r)

Where

x represent the number of successes.

p represents the probability of success.

q = (1 - p) represents the probability of failure.

n represents the number of trials or sample.

From the information given,

p = 36.5% = 36.5/100 = 0.365

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.365

q = 0.635

n = 15

a) P(x = 0) = 15C0 × 0.365^0 × 0.635^(15 - 0) = 0.0011

P(x = 1) = 15C1 × 0.365^1 × 0.635^(15 - 1) = 0.0095

P(x = 2) = 15C2 × 0.365^2 × 0.635^(15 - 2) = 0.038

P(x = 3) = 15C3 × 0.365^3 × 0.635^(15 - 3) = 0.095

P(x = 4) = 15C4 × 0.365^4 × 0.635^(15 - 4) = 0.16

P(x = 5) = 15C5 × 0.365^5 × 0.635^(15 - 5) = 0.21

k P(X = k)

0 0.0011

1 0.0095

2 0.038

3 0.095

4 0.16

5 0.21

b) mean = np = 15 × 0.365 = 5.475

c) standard deviation = √npq

= √15 × 0.365 × 0.635

= 1.86

d) z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

x = 2

z = (2 - 5.475)/1.86 = - 1.87
