Answer:

35/87

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we must find (total number of favorable outcomes)/ (total number of outcomes). We thus need to find the total number of outcomes. As people have only answered "yes" or "no", the total number of outcomes is 208+140 = 348.

The total number of favorable outcomes, or what we're looking for, is 140 (140 people responded that they had run a red light). Thus, our fraction is 140/348, or 35/87

If BC = 6.5, CD = 7.8, and AD = 12.2, find AB to the nearest tenth.
Sladkaya [172]
This can be solved using the angle bisector theorem. Note that line segment AD is the angle bisector of triangle DAB from angle DAB. Therefore, we know that the ratios \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{CD}} and \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{CB}} are equal. Solving, we get \frac{\text{12.2}}{\text{7.8}}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{6.5}}. Cross multiplying, we get 79.3 = 7.8x, and solving this equation we get x = 10.1666... \approx 10.2. 10.2 is your answer.

3n^2=6-17n I need Vertex form please.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

3( n + \frac{17}{6} )² - \frac{361}{12} = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3n² = 6 - 17n ⇔ 3n² + 17n - 6 = 0

3( n² + 2 × \frac{17}{6} n + ( \frac{17}{6} )² - ( \frac{17}{6} )² - 2 ) = 0

3( n + \frac{17}{6} )² - 3 × \frac{289}{36} - 6 = 0

3( n + \frac{17}{6} )² - \frac{361}{12} = 0
