The odds against Ishaq getting hired for a job are 17:18. Determine the probability

Mathematics

Fantom [35]2 years ago

Answer:

The odds against Ishaq getting hired are 17:18

This means that are 17 scenarios where Ishaq does not get hired, out of 18 total scenarios.

This means that the left scenario is when Ishaq gets hired, then the odds of Ishaq getting hired is equal to 1:18.

a) We want to find the probability that Ishaq gets hired.

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of scenarios where Ishaq gets hired (1) and the total number of scenarios (18).

Then this probability is

P = 1/18 = 0.056

b) We want to find the probability where Ishaq does not get hired, we can use the same reasoning as above, this time we will take the quotient between the number of scenarios where Ishaq does not get hired (17) and the total number of scenarios (18).

P = 17/18 = 0.944

What is the equation of a line with a slope of ​3​ and a point
seraphim [82]
Answer: y = 3x-8

------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

The slope is 3, so m = 3

The given point is (3,1) meaning x = 3 and y = 1. The x coordinate is always listed first in an ordered pair. The general format is (x,y)

We'll use m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1 to find the y intercept

y = mx+b
y = m*x+b
1 = 3*3+b ... plug in m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1
1 = 9+b
1-9 = 9+b-9 ... subtract 9 from both sides
-8 = b
b = -8

----------------

So we're given m = 3 as the slope and we just found that b = -8 is the y intercept

So y = mx+b updates to y = 3x-8. This is the final answer.

----------------

Side Notes:
* The slope of 3 means rise/run = 3/1 indicating each time we go up 3, we move to the right 1
* The y intercept -8 is the location on the vertical y axis numberline where the graph crosses. The point (0,-8) is on this line.

Hi. I don't know the entire answer but I do know the probability of chosing a blue marble once is 25%.

5 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 12

3/12 or 1/4 = 25% or .25

Sorry I could not fully help.

Uma volta inteira na Terra corresponde a uma distância 2πr≅40.000 km. Se um satélite leva 85 minutos para dar uma volta completa
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

7.8. 10 ^ 3 m / s

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the average speed in m/s is shown below:

The average speed equation is

= ΔS ÷ Δt;

As We know that

an entire revolution would be40,000 km

and a satellite takes 85 minutes to complete a revolution,  

So,

ΔS = 40,000 km = 40,000,000 m

Δt = 85 min = 5 100 s

Now the average speed is

= 40 000 000 ÷ 5 ÷ 5 100

 = 7843.14 m / s

= 7.8. 10 ^ 3 m / s
