Answer:

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each graduate, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they entered a profession closely related to their college major, or they did not. The probability of a graduate entering a profession closely related to their college major is independent of other graduates. This, coupled with the fact that they are chosen with replacement, means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

53% reported that they entered a profession closely related to their college major.

This means that p = 0.53

9 of those survey subjects are randomly selected

This means that n = 9

What is the probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major?

This is P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 9) = C_{9,3}.(0.53)^{3}.(0.47)^{6} = 0.1348

0.1348 = 13.48% probability that 3 of them entered a profession closely related to their college major.

B is the midpoint of AC. C is the midpoint of AD. Find the coordinates of B and D given the coordinates of A (-2,5) and the coor
GalinKa [24]

B= (3,6) and D= (18,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two given points add X1 and X2 together, then divide by 2 to get the X value of the midpoint and do the same thing for the Y value. That will get you B. From there you can see to get from point A to point C you add 10 to the x value and add 2 to the y value. Because C is the midpoint just double what you had to add to get point D (add 20 to x and add 4 to y)

Step-by-step explanation:

divide the 72 pieces by 2, you already know that 6 + 6 is 12, and 30 +30 is 60, so add 60 and 12 and you get 72
