Answer:

The probability is 0.383.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans  

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected=\[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}\]

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= \[{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}\]

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = \[{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

So, favourable outcomes are \[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

Total possible outcomes =\[{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}\]

Now, probability=\[\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383\]

Which is a good comparison of the estimated sum and the actual sum of 7 9/12 + 2 11/12?
natta225 [31]
7 9/12 = 7.75
2 11/12 = 2.917

So we can round both of these up.

7.75 rounds to 8
2.917 rounds to 3

8 + 3 = 11

So the estimated sum is 11.

7 9/12 + 2 11/12 = 10 2/3

So the actual sum is 10 2/3.

The estimated sum is a pretty good estimate to the original number.

“What is the definition of slope?”
choli [55]
The slope of a line is a number that measures its "steepness", usually denoted by the letter m. It is the change in y for a unit change in x along the line. ... The slope of the line is continuously recalculated. You can also drag the origin point at (0,0). Slope can be calculated using rise/run.

Simplify nine square root of two minus three square root of seven plus square root of eight minus square root of twenty eight.
avanturin [10]

Answer:

11\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{7}

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

9\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{8} - \sqrt{28}

Now, \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2}

\sqrt{28} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 7} = 2\sqrt{7}

∴ 9\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{7} + \sqrt{8} - \sqrt{28}

= 9\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{7} + 2\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{7}

= 9\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{2} - 3\sqrt{7} - 2\sqrt{7}

= 11\sqrt{2} - 5\sqrt{7}

Therefore option (a) is the correct answer.

Hannah had dinner at her favorite restaurant. If the sales tax rate is 4% and the sales tax on the meal came to $1.25, what was
Naddika [18.5K]
4% of 25 is 1 so we know it is only a bit more than 25 dollars for the original dinner. 4% of 30 is 1.2 so we know we are close. If we go a little higher, to 31, it is 1.24, and calculating 4% of 32 is 1.28, too much. We could try 31.5, but that is 1.26, too much. Trying with 31.25 gets us to 1.25. This is the right answer but we still need a tip. So we take the decimal point in 32.50, the total bill, and move it one place to the left, giving us 3.25, which is 10% of the bill. However, we need 20% so we should multiply 3.25 by 2, which is 6.50. 6.50 is the tip, so we should add that to the cost. This is 32.50+6.50, or $39.00. All in all, Hannah's meal cost 39 dollars.
