Complete question :

A blind taste test will be conducted with 9 volunteers to determine whether people can taste a difference between bottled water and tap water. Each participant will taste the water from two different glasses and then identify which glass he or she thinks contains the tap water. Assuming that people cannot taste a difference between bottled water and tap water, what is the probability that at least 8 of the 9 participants will correctly identify the tap water?

Answer:

0.0196

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the binomial probability relation :

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

Here,

p = 0.5 ; q = 1 - p = 0.5

Number of trials, n = 9

P(x ≥ 9) = p(x = 8) + p(x = 9)

P(x = 8) = 9C8 * 0.5^8 * 0.5^1 = 0.0176

P(x = 9) = 9C9 * 0.5^9 * 0.5^0 = 0.0020

P(x =8) +. P(x =9) = 0.0176 + 0.0020 = 0.0196

A cone is 3 inches high and has a base with a surface area of 7 square inches. What is the volume of the cone?
lawyer [7]

Answer: the answer should be 7

Step-by-step explanation:  V=πr2h

3=π·1.52·3

3≈7.06858

you can find the radius for the area of the base 7 by dividing by \pi like such 7/3.1459 the squared because remember its in r2 form which give you 1.5 then plug this in for one of two ways to solve A·\pi 1/3 or V=πr2h

Select the equation of the line parallel to the equation y = -2x - 7 that passes through the point (3, 1).
sasho [114]
Y = -2x - 7 
slope = -2 (parallel shares the same slope, -2)

Option A:
y = -2x + 7
slope = -2

At (3, 1)
y = -2(3) + 7 = 1

Answer: Option A
