Answer: 0.07

Step-by-step explanation:

in the group, we can have only 4 persons.

we have 8 boys, and 6 girls.

We want to find the probability that in the comite we have only boys.

Ok, for the first selection, the probability of selecting a boy is equal to the number of boys divided the total number of the group ( 8 + 6 = 14) this is

p1 = 8/14.

For the second selection we do the same, but we already slected a boy, so now the number of boys is 7, and the total number of posibilities is 13.

p2 = 7/13.

for the third selection we do the same, in this case the probability is

p3 = 6/12

for the fourth selection the probability will be:

p4 = 5/11

The joint probability, of all the events happening at the same time, is equal to the product of the singular probabilities:

P = p1*p2*p3*p4 = (8/14)*(7/13)*(6/12)*(5/11) = 0.07

Billy's plant grows at least 2 inches a month.
emmainna [20.7K]
We can assume that this growth rate can be expressed as y = mx + b as long as the slope is constant, because a quadratic or exponential formula wouldn't make much sense in this situation. If it is growing at least 2 inches a month, the slope (m) will be 2. As x (month) increases by 1 month, y (plant's height) increases by 2 inches. You could make it more, but as long as you plot the points in such a way that the slope for these points are 2 or higher, you will get the answer correct. If you have any other questions or need to clarify more about what you wanted let me know and I'll help.

F(x)=8x^2-2x+3<br> g(x)=12x^2+4x-3<br> what is h(x)=f(x)-g(x)?
Trava [24]

Answer: h(x)=-4x^2-6x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the function h(x), you need to subtract the function f(x)=8x^2-2x+3 and the function g(x)=12x^2+4x-3.

h(x)=f(x)-g(x)\\h(x)=8x^2-2x+3-(12x^2+4x-3)

Distribute the negative sign:

h(x)=8x^2-2x+3-12x^2-4x+3

Now you can add the like terms:

h(x)=-4x^2-6x+6

Therefore, you get that the function h(x) is:

 h(x)=-4x^2-6x+6
