Four students are competing in a race. In how many different combinations could the four students place in the race?

"Combinations" isn't really the right word, because a combination doesn't take order of elements into account, and the outcome of a race certainly does depend on order. "Permutations" would be the correct term.

If 4 students are competing, then the race has

4! = 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 = 24

possible outcomes.

Help! It says that I need to determine If both equations represent lines which are parallel, perpendicular, or none...
12345 [234]
    4x + 2y = 8     (1)
    8x + 4y = -4y  (2)

A) Two lines are parallel if they have the same gradient
       - putting both equations into the gradient- intercept form ( y = mx + c                where m is the gradient)
            (1) 4x + 2y = 8
                          2y = 8 - 4x
                            y = -2x + 4
             
            (2) 8x + 4y = -4y
      <span>                    </span>8x = -4y - 4y
                            y = \frac{-8x}{-8}
                            y = -x
   <span>Thus the gradient of the two equations are different and as such          the two lines are not parallel
</span>
B)  When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their gradient is -1
                   m_{1} * m_{2} = p
                                             p = (-2) * (-1)
                                             p =  2
<span>          ∴ the two lines are not perpendicular either.</span>

Thus these lines are SKEWED LINES

It is important that face masks used by firefighters be able to withstand high temperatures because firefighters commonly work i
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The 93% confidence interval for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574). This means that we are 93% sure that the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 55, \pi = \frac{24}{55} = 0.4364

93% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.07, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.07}{2} = 0.965, so Z = 1.81.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4364 - 1.81\sqrt{\frac{0.4364*0.5636}{55}} = 0.3154

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.4364 + 1.81\sqrt{\frac{0.4364*0.5636}{55}} = 0.5574

The 93% confidence interval for the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574). This means that we are 93% sure that the true proportion of masks of this type whose lenses would pop out at 325 degrees is (0.3154, 0.5574).

If AABC is reflected across the yaxis, what are the coordinates of A?
Airida [17]

Answer:

A lies on (1,3) a reflection across the y-axis is (x,y) to (-x,y). The x turns the opposite and y stays the same so...

(-1,3)
