Suppose the probability of being picked first in your class is 0.05. The odds of being picked first expressed in form of a: b is 1 : 19.

A probability is a number that represents the possibility or chance that a specific event will occur.

{\mathbf{\text{The probability of an event} = \dfrac{\text{number of desired outcome}}{\text{total number of possible outcome}}}

From the given information;

  • Let assume the total number of people in the class is whole = 1

∴

The odds of being picked first can be computed as:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{0.05}{1-0.05}}

\mathbf{=\dfrac{0.05}{0.95}}

\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{19}}

= 1 : 19

Therefore, the odds of being picked first in terms of a: b is 1 : 19

A radioactive isotope has a rate of decay of 84%. that is, every day,
Paul [167]

The half life of the radioactive isotope to the nearest tenth is  0.83 days.

<h3>What is rate of radioactive decay?</h3>

The rate of radioactive decay is the rate at which a radioactive isotope is disintegrated. The half life is the time taken for half of the original amount of radioactive isotope to remain.

Given that;

t/12 = 0.693/k

Where;

t1/2 - half life

k =decay constant

t/12 = 0.693/0.84

t/12 = 0.83 days

The value of  x from the expression is 2

<h3>Expression and equation </h3>

Given the expression

2x = 74/2 - 37


We are to calculate the value of  x from the expression

2x = 37 - 37

Since 37 - 37 = 0

2x = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

2x/2 = 0/2

x = 0

Hence the value of  x from the expression is 2

I need help, please​
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

12^2 = 144, 9^2 = 81, and 15^2 = 225.

144 + 81 = 225, therefore a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
