According to the Guinness Book of World Records, a woman from Russia, Mrs. Vassilyeva, had 69 children between the years 1725 to

1765. She had 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets. Suppose one of the births is randomly selected. Given that Mrs. Vassilyeva gave birth to at least 3 children (triplets), what is the probability that she gave birth to quadruplets

Answer:

36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcoes.

Desired outcomes:

Giving births to quadruplets.

She has 4 sets of quadruplets.

So D = 4

Total outcomes:

At least 3 children(triplets).

7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets.

So T = 7 + 4 = 11

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{4}{11} = 0.3636

36.36% probability that she gave birth to quadruplets

A supervisor has to estimate the cost to unload a shipment. The cost of labour is $33 per hour, per worker.
Agata [3.3K]
The answer is D cause 1/4 of 33$ is 8.25 so you do 33+33+33 which is 99 then you multiply that by 6 which is 594 then you multiply 8.25 by 3 to account for all the workers then add that to 594 and then you get your answer which is 618.75

The Lacrosse booster club is holding a raffle for a fundraiser. They will sell 100 tickets for $5 each and select 4 winners. All
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<h2>There are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about combinations with no repetitions, because the same person can't win four times. It's a combinaction because the order of winning doesn't really matter.

Combinations without repetitions are defined as

C_{n}^{r}  =\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Where n=100 and r=4.

Replacing values, we have

C_{100}^{4}  =\frac{100!}{4!(100-4)!}=\frac{100!}{4! 96!}=\frac{100 \times 99 \times 98 \times 97 \times 96!}{4! \times 96!}=  \frac{94,109,400}{24}= 3,921,225

Therefore, there are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.

Additionally, as you can imagine, the probability of winning is extremely low, it would be 3,921,225 to 1.

What is the slope of this line of best fit?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The slope of the line of best fit is \frac{-6}{7}  ⇒ 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the slope of a line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

<em>To find the slope of the best line fit choose two points their positions make the number of the points over the line equal to the number of the points below the line</em>

From the attached graph points (1 , 9) and (8 , 3) are the best choice

∵ The line passes through points (1 , 9) and (8 , 3)

∴ x_{1} = 1 and x_{2} = 8

∴ y_{1} = 9 and y_{2} = 3

- Substitute them in the formula of the slope

∴ m=\frac{3-9}{8-1}=\frac{-6}{7}

∴ The slope of the line of best fit is \frac{-6}{7}
