Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

g(x) = 1/2x - 5

g(x) = 8

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute: 8 = 1/2x - 5
Isolate x term: 13 = 1/2x
Isolate x: 26 = x
Rewrite: x = 26

student randomly receive 1 of 4 versions(A, B, C, D) of a math test. What is the probability that at least 3 of the 5 student te

alexdok [17]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the students receive different versions of the math namely A, B, C and D.

So, the probability that a student receives version A = $\frac{1}{4}$ .

Thus, the probability that the student does not receive version A = $1-\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ .

So, the possibilities that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A are,

1) 3 receives version A and 2 does not receive version A

2) 4 receives version A and 1 does not receive version A

3) All 5 students receive version A

Then the probability that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is given by,

$\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}$

= $(\frac{1}{4})^3\times (\frac{3}{4})^2+(\frac{1}{4})^4\times (\frac{3}{4})+(\frac{1}{4})^5$

= $(\frac{1}{4})^3\times (\frac{3}{4})[\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+(\frac{1}{4})^2]$

= $(\frac{3}{4^4})[1+\frac{1}{16}]$

= $(\frac{3}{256})[\frac{17}{16}]$

= 0.01171875 × 1.0625

= 0.01245

Thus, the probability that at least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is 0.0124

So, in percent the probability is 0.0124 × 100 = 1.24%

To the nearest tenth, the required probability is 1.2%.

The sum of two numbers is 72. One number is 8

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

32 and 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, the equation for this problem is 2x + 8 = 72

Equation:

2x + 8 = 72

2x = 64

x = 32

So now we know the smaller number is 32, so now add 8 and we get 40.

Therefore the 2 numbers are 32 and 40

How do you do trigonometric Ratios

iren2701 [21]

To calculate the sine of an angle, simply divide the length of the opposite side, 479.16, by the length of the hypotenuse, 610. To get the cosine, divide the length of the adjacent side, 377.5, by the length of the hypotenuse, 610.
