Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 10 men and 5 women in a conference room

total People=15

(a)Probability that the committee consists of 2 men and 2 women

we have to select from 10 men and 5 women

P=\frac{^5C_2\times ^{10}C_2}{^{15}C_4}

(b)Bob and Jane end up on the same committee

as bob and Jane are necessary to include so there are 4 women and 9 men left to select remaining 2 person

P=\frac{^{13}C_2}{^{15}C_4}

(c)Bob is in the committee but Jane is not

9 men and 4 women left to choose other 3 person

P=\frac{^{13}C_3}{^{15C_4}}

Solve for c 6/15=2/c
saul85 [17]
\frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{c}   Multiply both sides by 15
6 = \frac{30}{c}   Multiply both sides by c
6c = 30   Divide both sides by 6
c = 5

Andrew has one book that is 237 inches thick and a second book that is 3.56 inches thick. If he stacks the books, about how tall
sattari [20]
You just add the thickness of the 2 books which is 237+3.56=240.56
Then you round the hundredth place which is 5 and next to it is the number 6 and that’s 5+ so it’s going up by a number. The answer is 240.6 inches tall. I tried explaining it well so sorry if you didn’t understand.

∠A and ∠B are adjacent. The sum of their measures is 92∘. ∠A measures (2x+5)∘. ∠B is three times the size of ∠A.
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Equation:  2x + 5 + 6x + 15 = 92

Solution:  x = 9

m∠A =23°  m∠B = 69°

Step-by-step explanation:

measure of ∠B = 3(2x + 5) = 6x + 15

The sum of the angles = 92 = 2x + 5 + 6x + 15

92 = 8x + 20

72 = 8x

x = 9

m∠A = 2(9) + 5 = 18 + 5 = 23

m∠B = 6(9) + 15 = 54 + 15 = 69

Check:  23 + 69 = 92  and 23(3) = 69
