Answer:

$\frac{3}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Students = 28

Brown Hair = 22

NOT Brown Hair = 28 - 22 = 6

The probability of an event is the number of that event divided by total number.

So, let denote probability of without brown hair be P(NOT BROWN). So, we can say:

P(NOT BROWN) = 6/28

Reducing, we get:

P(NOT BROWN) = 3/14

Write an equation in standard form of the hyperbola described.

marishachu [46]

Check the picture below, so the hyperbola looks more or less like so, so let's find the length of the conjugate axis, or namely let's find the "b" component.

$\textit{hyperbolas, horizontal traverse axis } \\\\ \cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ b^2}=1 \qquad \begin{cases} center\ ( h, k)\\ vertices\ ( h\pm a, k)\\ c=\textit{distance from}\\ \qquad \textit{center to foci}\\ \qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=0\\ a=2\\ c=4 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{2^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{b^2} \\\\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies 4^2=2^2+b^2\implies 16=4+b^2\implies \underline{12=b^2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{2^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{12}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{x^2}{4}-\cfrac{y^2}{12}}$

To find this just put 8 over 20 because that is how many red pieces there are divide the equation and you will get 0.4 so I would say the answer is A.

Identify the stem of the following number: 231. A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 23

Kruka [31]

stem = 23
leaf = 1

Answer is choice D

The leaf is always a single digit because you can have multiple leaves without any separating mark. If you have something like "123" on the leaf column, then that means you have three leaves of 1, 2 and 3 which correspond to the same stem.

the expression 4X gives the perimeter of a square with a side length of X units. what is the perimeter of a square with a side l

Wewaii [24]

With the equation 4x, the x represents side length. Since we are given side length of 5/7, then the equation becomes

perimeter = 4 × 5/7
p= 20/7
p= 2 6/7 units
