Answer:

72 spaces total

Step-by-step explanation:

The ration is 3:5. The 3 is the empty spaces which is 27. In order to simplify 27 to 3, you have to multiply it by 9. Knowing you have to simplify both sides by the same number you then multiple the 5 by 9 getting 45. The total amount of taken spaces is 45. Add the amount of empty spaces and taken spaces together you get 72 spaces total.

What is the radius and center of the circle given by the equation (x-5)^{2}+(y+2)^{2} = 81/4

artcher [175]

Answer:

The center is (5, -2) and the radius is 9/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be written by

(x-h) ^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x-5)^{2}+(y+2)^{2} = 81/4

( (x-5)^{2}+(y- -2)^{2} = (9/2)^2

The center is (5, -2) and the radius is 9/2

Karen is making a set of costumes for the school play using a piece of cloth. She reduces the length of the cloth she intends to

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The new length is 13.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the new length of the cloth she wants to use

What we know from the question is that she is making a reduction of 10% from an initial of 15 meters

Thus, the length she is to use can be calculated by first getting what 10% of 15 meters is

Mathematically, that would be ;

10/100 * 15 = 1.5 meters

We now subtract this from the total of 15 meters

= 15 meters - 1.5 meters = 13.5 meters

There are 4 people at a party. Consider the random variable X=’number of people having the same birthday ’ (match only month, N=

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

S = {0,2,3,4}

P(X=0) = 0.573 , P(X=2) = 0.401 , P(x=3) = 0.025, P(X=4) = 0.001

Mean = 0.879

Standard Deviation = 1.033

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people having same birth month be = x

The number of ways of distributing the birthdays of the 4 men = (12*12*12*12)

The number of ways of distributing their birthdays = 12⁴

The sample space, S = { 0,2,3,4} (since 1 person cannot share birthday with himself)

P(X = 0) = $\frac{12P4}{12^{4} }$

P(X=0) = 0.573

P(X=2) = P(2 months are common) P(1 month is common, 1 month is not common)

P(X=2) = $\frac{3C2 * 12P2}{12^{4} } + \frac{4C2 * 12P3}{12^{4} }$

P(X=2) = 0.401

P(X=3) = $\frac{4C3 * 12P2}{12^{4} }$

P(x=3) = 0.025

P(X=4) = $\frac{12}{12^{4} }$

P(X=4) = 0.001

Mean, $\mu = \sum xP(x)$

$\mu = (0*0.573) + (2*0.401) + (3*0.025) + (4*0.001)\\\mu = 0.879$

Standard deviation, $SD = \sqrt{\sum x^{2} P(x) - \mu^{2}} \\SD =\sqrt{ [ (0^{2} * 0.573) + (2^{2} * 0.401) + (3^{2} * 0.025) + (4^{2} * 0.001)] - 0.879^{2}}$
