Answer:

A. 8%

B. 39.6%

C. 58.4%

D. 41.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Computation to determine the probability of eligible voter selected at random

First step is to Draw up a contingincy table which will include Rows = Degree/No degree

and Columns= Vote/Not vote

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

(80%*100=80)

(100-80=20)

No Degree 504..396..900

(1000-100=900)

(56%*900=504)

(504-900=396

Totals 584..416...1000

(80+504=584)

(20+396=416)

(900+100=1,000)

Summary

..............Vote..No vote

Degree 80...20...100

No Degree 504..396..900

Total Totals 584..416...1000

A. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election.

P = 80/1,000

P=0.08*100

P=8%

Therefore the probability of The voter had a college degree and voted in the last presidential election will be 8%

B. Calculation to determine the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election.

P =396/1000

P=0.396*100

P=39.6%

Therefore the probability of The voter did not have a college degree and did not vote in the last presidential election will be 39.6%

C. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election.

P = 584/1,000

P=0.584*100

P=58.4%

Therefore the probability if The voter voted in the last presidential election will be 58.4%

D. Calculation to determine the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election.

P = 416/1000

P=0.416*100

P=41.6%

Therefore the probability if The voter did not vote in the last presidential election will be 41.6%

Match the number with its opposite. Match Term Definition 9.2 A) 2.9 −2.9 B) −4.1 −1.4 C) −9.2 4.1 D) 1.4
jenyasd209 [6]

We have these opposite pairs

  • 9.2 and -9.2
  • 2.9 and -2.9
  • 1.4 and -1.4
  • 4.1 and -4.1

So all we're doing is matching each positive number with its negative version. In terms of a visual, the opposite of a number is mirrored over 0 on the number line. So for instance, the opposite of 2 is -2, with each being two units away from 0 on the number line.

(−8k+1)(−8k+1) standard form
kifflom [539]

Answer:

64k^2 - 16k +1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rewrite this as

(-8k+1) ^2

We know that (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab +b^2

Let a = -8k  and b = 1

(-8k+1) = (-8k)^2 +2*(-8k)(1) + 1^2

           =64k^2 - 16k +1

Therefore in 40 microns there are:

40um * 10^3 nm/um = 40 * 10^3 nm = 40,000 nm

3 over 4 open parentheses 1 half x space minus space 12 close parentheses space plus space 4 over 5
lesantik [10]

For this case we have the following expression:

\frac {3} {4} (\frac {1} {2} x-12) + \frac {4} {5}

Rewriting the expression we have:

We apply distributive property to the terms of parentheses:

\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {36} {4} + \frac {4} {5}\\\frac {3} {8} x-9 + \frac {4} {5}\\\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {41} {5}\\

Answer:

\frac {3} {8} x- \frac {41} {5}
