A study conducted on 40,000 words in the English language found that about 6,670 words started with the letter T, which is the m

ost common letter to start a word. If we randomly pick 20 unique words, which of these lists of words will come closest to the theoretical probability of getting a word beginning with T?

To answer this problem, first let us calculate for the theoretical probability obtained from the study conducted:

Theoretical Probability = 6,670 / 40,000

Theoretical Probability = 0.16675 = 0.17

From the given choices, the list of words which can give this similar amount of probability is:

“to, sarcastic, epithet, for, less, corruptible, than, the, offspring, open, any, primary, loyalty, table, out, whom, example, who, mention, say”

In this set of words, the number of words starting with letter T is 4. Calculating for the probability of getting a word starting with T in this set is:

Sample probability = 4 / 20

<span>Sample probability = 0.20</span>

Answer:

$12.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Skubic Family-

22.75 = 5.25 + 7x

17.5 = 7x

2.5 = x

Therefore the cost for each person is equal to $2.5

Shaw Family-

2.5(3) + 5.25

7.5 + 5.25 = $12.75

densk [106]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the coordinates of the vertices after a dilation with a scale factor of 1/5 , centered at the origin.

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation are rotation, reflection, dilation and translation.

Dilation is the reduction or enlargement in the size of an object by a scale factor (k). If k > 1, it is an enlargement and if k < 1, it is a reduction. If a point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor k, the new point is A'(kx, ky).

Therefore, if the vertices are dilated with a scale factor of 1/5 , centered at the origin. The new point is:

S(5, -10) → S′(1 , -2) T(10, -10) → T′(2 , -2) U(5, 10) → U′(1 , 2)
