Find a possible value of b. 5x2 - bx - 8​

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Without more input from you, it's hard to find an exact value for b.  However, b may take on a large range of values.  b = 10 and b = -3 (chosen arbitrarily) are acceptable choices.

Take a look at the quadratic formula.  The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac.  There is nothing about this equation that restricts or forbids the use of any value of b.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

E. P(W | H)

Step-by-step explanation:

What each of these probabilities mean:

P(H): Probability of the game being at home

P(W): Probability of the game being a win.

P(H and W): Probability of the game being at home and being a win.

P(H|W): Probability of a win being at home.

P(W|H): Probability of winning a home game.

Which of the following probabilities do you need to find in order to determine the proportion of at-home games that were wins?

This is the probability of winning a home game. So the answer is:

E. P(W | H)

The fraction for the above ratio is 5/9

Where 5- no of cups of bread crumbs needed; 9= pounds of ground beef needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Anything that can be represented in the x/y form constitutes the fraction.

The above statement can be represented in the fraction form as 5/9. It means that for every 9 pounds of ground beef, 5 cups of bread crumbs are needed.

The above fraction provides the ratio in the form of cups of bread crumb/ pound of ground beef required. Where 5 represents the number of cups of bread crumbs required, 9 represents the pound of ground beef needed for the same.

Levart [38]

Answer:

0.384

Step-by-step explanation:

pet supplier has a stock of parakeets of which 20% are blue parakeets

20/100 = 0.2 blue parakeets (success)

1-0.2 = 0.8 not parakeets (not success)

A pet store orders 3 parakeets from this supplier

we need to find the chance of getting exactly one blue from 3 parakeets

P(x=1)=nCr (p)^r(q)^{n-r}

n=3, r=1, p = 0.2 , q=0.8

P(x=1)=3C1 (0.2)^1(0.8)^{2}
