Answer:

0.525%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are trying to find the probability of a sequence of events we simply need to multiply the probability of each of these events happening separately from one another. We are told that the probability that the light will be red is 65% that means that the probability that it will be green and that the driver will not need to stop is 35%. This probability remains the same every day of the week. Therefore we need to multiply this probability 5 times, one time for each weekday Monday through Friday, but first we need to turn this percentage into a decimal form by dividing it by 100...

35% / 100 = 0.35

0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 * 0.35 = 0.00525 ...multiply by 100 to get percentage

0.00525 * 100 = 0.525%

Finally, we can see that the probability that she will not have to stop at the light all next week is 0.525%

Find the vertex: -4x² + 16x - 7​
guapka [62]

Find the vertex: -4x^2 + 16x - 7​

Vertex = ( x, f(x)).

x = -b/2a

x = -16/2(-4)

x = -16/-8

x = 2

f(x) = -4x^2 + 16x - 7

Let x = 2

f(2) = -4(2)^2 + 16(2) - 7

f(2) = -4(4) + 32 - 7

f(2) = -16 + 32 - 7

f(2) = 16 - 7

f(2) = 9

Vertex = (2, 9)

The owner of a new pet store wishes to display tropical fish in display tanks. The above table shows the species that cannot liv
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The minimum number of different tanks needed to safely house all the fish is:

  • <u>3 tanks</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the minimum number of different tanks, we're gonna concentrate in a fish species, in this case can be the A: as you see in the table, the A species can live with all the fish excepting the F and G, by their side, the F and G can't live together , by this reason, this three species must live in a different tank, in the next form:

  • Tank 1: <em>A</em>
  • Tank 2: <em>F</em>
  • Tank 3: <em>G</em>

Now the B species, it can live with A, F and G, but for this example we can put in the tank 1 (the tank of the A species). The C especies can live with A, F and G, but how we have A and B together, we're gonna put the C especies in the tank 3 (the tank of the G especies). The D species can live with A and G, we're gonna put in the tank 1 because can live with B species too. The E species can live with A and F, we're gonna put in the tank 2 (the tank of the F species) because the E species can't live with D that is in the in the tank 1. Al last, the H species just can live with A, E, F, and H species, by this reason, the only tank that can be put is the tank 2. In this form, the order is the next:

  • Tank 1: <em>A, B, D</em>.
  • Tank 2: <em>F, E, H</em>.
  • Tank 3: <em>G, C</em>.

And t<u>he owner of the pet store must buy three different tanks to display these tropical fish</u>.

Trigonometry question! find the vaule of x. round to the nearest tenth!​
atroni [7]

Answer:

<h2>x = 88.2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

Use tangent:

tangent=\dfrac{opposite}{adjacent}

We have a measure of the angle and length of the adjacent:

\alpha=10^o,\ adjacent=500

\tan10^o\approx0.17633

Substitute:

\dfrac{x}{500}=0.17633             <em>multiply both sides by 500</em>

x=88.165\to x=88.2
