Answer:

y = 1/2 x²

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of the first term in a quadratic, in our case here, x², will tell us how the graph stretches. This is akin to the slope within the linear graph. Similar to the slope, the smaller the coefficient value, or value of slope m, the shallower the angle.

When discussing quadratics, the larger the coefficient of our x² term, the steeper, and skinnier the graph. If we want to look for a graph that is wider than y = 2x², then we need to find a graph with a coefficient that is less than 2.

Our only option then is

y = 1/2 x²

Answer:

A) 0.1538

Step-by-step explanation:

4 members are going to be chosen:

M1 - M2 - M3 - M4

We have to find the probability that for each member, one without experience is chosen. There is no replacents.

Initially, we have 15 students, of which 10 have none experience. So the probability that M1 is chosen as a student with no experience is $\frac{10}{15}$ .

Then, there are 14 students, of which 9 have no experience. So the probability that M2 is chosen as a student with no experience is $\frac{9}{14}$ .

For the third member, there are 13 students, of which 8 have no experience. So the probability that M3 is chosen as a student with no experience is $\frac{8}{13}$ .

For the last member, there are 12 students, of which 7 have no experience. So the probability that M4 is chosen as a student with no experience is $\frac{7}{12}$ .
