Answer:

0.525 = 52.5% probability that the two are from different families.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, the order in which the two participants are selected is not important, so we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

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)!}

Desired outcomes:

1 from the Harfield family(from a set of 7).

1 from the McCoy family(from a set of 9). So

D = C_{7,1}*C_{9,1} = \frac{7!}{1!6!}*\frac{9!}{1!8!} = 7*9 = 63

Total outcomes:

2 from a set of 16. So

T = C_{16,2} = \frac{16!}{2!14!} = 120

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{63}{120} = 0.525

0.525 = 52.5% probability that the two are from different families.

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 28 inches on each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

338 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the measurements of the kitchen from feet to inches by multiplying each measurement by 12.

102 * 12 = 1224     18 * 12 = 216


Now multiply these answers together.

1224 * 216 = 264,384 square inches


Now find the area of the vinyl tiles.

28 * 28 = 784 square inches


Now find how many 784 square inch tiles are needed to cover a 264,384 square inch kitchen.

264,384 / 784 = 337.224


Since you can't buy part of a tile, round your answer up.

338 tiles

Please help me thank you.
Alona [7]

Answer:

\large\boxed{1.\ (4)^{-3x^2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{3x^2}}

\large\boxed{2.\ ab^{-3x}=a\left(\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^{3x}=a\left[\left(\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^3\right]^x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Use:\ a^{-n}=\left(\dfrac{1}{a}\right)^n\\------------\\\\(4)^{-3x^2}=\left[(4)^{-1}\right]^{3x^2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{3x^2}

Use:\ a^{-n}=\left(\dfrac{1}{a}\right)^n\ and\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\--------------------\\\\ab^{-3x}=a\cdot b^{-3x}=a\left[(b)^{-1}\right]^{3x}=a\left(\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^{3x}\\\\ab^{-3x}=a\left(\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^{3x}=a\left[\left(\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^3\right]^x

Solving inequalities, what is x/18>27
Lunna [17]

Answer:   x > 486

Explanation:

We have some number x and we divide that by 18. The result is larger than 27. To find possible values for x, we need to undo what is happening to x. The opposite of division is multiplication. We multiply both sides by 18 to cancel out the "18" on the left side, which will isolate x to get it to its own side.

This is what the steps look like

x/18 > 27

18*( x/18 ) > 18*27 .... multiplying both sides by 18

x > 486 ... note the 18's cancel on the left side

So this means x is some number greater than 486.

Pleaseeee helpppp answer correctly !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fed [463]

Answer:

z=44

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to go about this with the given angles is to use the alternate interior angles theorem to find the full measure of ∠C and ∠A. Then, use the same theorem to set ∠BDA as 52°. Subtract all the angle measures from 360 (because the sum of the interior angles of a quadrilateral is = 360 degrees). Then divide the result by 2.

360-84-84-52-52=88

=88/2

=44

So z=44°
