Answer:

30.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of all people in the committee being boys, we have:

First person boy: 8 boys among 14 people: P1 = 8/14 = 4/7

Second person boy: 7 boys among 13 people: P1 = 7/13

Third person boy: 6 boys among 12 people: P1 = 6/12 = 1/2

Fourth person boy: 5 boys among 11 people: P1 = 5/11

So the final probability is:

(4/7) * (7/3) * (1/2) * (5/11) = (4*7*5)/(7*3*2*11) = (2*5)/(3*11) = 10/33 = 0.303 = 30.3%

Answer: 70/1001

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing 4 boys from total of 8 boys is a combination of 8 when 4 is taken at a time:

8C4 = 8!/4!4!

= 70

Since they are all boys, that means we are choosing 0 girl from the 6 girls.

6C0 = 6!/6!0!

= 1

Choosing 4 students from a total of 6+8=14 students is a combination of 14 when 4 people is taken at a time:

14C4 = 14!/10!4!

= 1001

This will give a probability of:

(70 × 1)/1001

= 70/1001

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>A. The angles are neither complementary nor supplementary. 

As their sum is neither equal to 90 nor 180, they are none of them

Can anyone help me with this?
Rus_ich [418]
15)
20/8 = x / 6
x = 20 * 6 / 8 
x = 15

16)
18/54 = (x+4)/75
1/3 = (x+4) / 75
3(x+4) = 75
3x + 12 = 75
3x = 63
x = 21

SF = 54/18
SF = 3

17)
complement angles sum = 90
90 /18 = 5
so
5 x 11 = 55
5 x 7 = 35

smaller angle = 35 degrees

18)
ratio 4:5:9
4+5+9 = 18
sum of interior angles of a triangle  = 180
180 / 18 = 10

largest angle = 10 x 9 = 90

answer
largest angle = 90 degrees

Select the points that are solutions to the system of inequalities. Select all that apply
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

(-10, 10) and (0,10).

Step-by-step explanation:

For a point to be a solution to the system of inequalities, you will need to see which of the points falls into the shaded area.

When we test out each of the points, we can see that only:

(-10, 10) and (0,10) fall into the blue-shaded area.
