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

Describe a real world situation that can be modeled by 5t

I used to shovel snow for $5 an hour.

If ' t ' was the number of hours I spent shoveling somebody's driveway,
then ' 5t ' was the number of dollars he owed me for the job.

' t ' didn't even have to be a whole number.  It worked fine with any number.

4.b.

Answer:  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>For the equation f(x) = 2x</u></h2>

3.a.  f(6) means use x = 6 in the equation f(x) = 2x

so f(6) would be f(6)= 2(6)

<u>f(6) = 12</u>

3.b.  f(-11) = 2(-11)

<u>f(-11) = -22</u>

3.c.  f(2.75) = 2(2.75)

<u>f(2.75) = 5.5</u>

3.d.  This is turned around.  We are told f(x)=20, so what would x need to be for f(x) to be 20?  Since f(x) = 2x, we can say 20 = 2x.  Therefore x = 10

f(10) = 20

<u>The rest of (3) are solved in the same fasion.h</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>For the equation  f(x)= 5x+50</u></h2>

4.a.  f(7) = 5(7)+50

<u>f(7) = 85</u>

4.b. f(-12)

  f(-12) = 5*(-12)+50

<u>f(-12) = -60</u>

<u></u>

Continue in the same fashion for these types of problems.

To complete a task in 15 days, a company has 4 people each working 8 hours a day. The company
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.

Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:

4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.

Whit this we can find the value of R.

R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.

a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:

5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.

We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:

D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16

D = 16

Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.

b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.

Quadrilateral A has side lengths 6, 9, 9, and 12. Quadrilateral B is a scaled copy of Quadrilateral A, with its shortest side of
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Look below

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, you got a Quadrilateral with the side lengths 6, 9, 9, 12

The shortest of B is 2

Find the scale factor of the A to B

6 -> 2

6/2 = 3

Scale factor is 3

Now divide all the sides by scale factor

6/3, 9/3, 9/3, 12/3 = 2, 3, 3, 4

Add them all together to get the perimeter

2+3+3+4 = 12

Perimeter of B is 12
