Answer:

FIRST NUMBER IS 20

AND

SECOND NUMBER IS 45

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE RATIO BE X

FIRST NUMBER = 4X

SECOND NUMBER = 9X

A/Q,

=}4X - 5 / 9X - 5 = 3 / 8

CRISS CROSS,

=}8 ( 4X - 5 ) = 9X - 5 ( 3 )

=}32X - 40 = 27X - 15

=}32X - 27X = - 15 + 40

=}5X = 25

=}X = 25 / 5

=}X = 5

THEREFORE,

FIRST NUMBER

=} 4X

=} 5 × 4

=} 20

SECOND NUMBER

=} 9X

=} 5 × 9

=} 45

Answer:

4x^2y\sqrt[4]{3y}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt[4]{768x^8y^5} =

= \sqrt[4]{256 \times 3(x^2)^4y^4y}

= \sqrt[4]{4^4 \times 3(x^2)^4y^4y}

= 4x^2y\sqrt[4]{3y}

Assume that when adults with smart phones are randomly selected 46% use them in meetings or classes if 20 adult smartphone users
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

0.0818.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using the binomial theorem because the probability of success is fixed.

Total adults = n = 20

Required attempts = r = 12

Probability of success = p = 3/4 = 0.46

Binomial Theorem formula:

P(X=r) = nCr * p^r * (1-p)^(n-r).

Substituting the values:

P(X=12) = 20C12 * 0.46^12 * (1-0.46)^8

P(X=12) = 125970 * 0.46^12 * (0.54)^8 = 0.0818 (to the nearest 3 significant figures).

So the probability that exactly 12 people use their smart phones in meetings or classes out of 20 is 0.0818!!!
