A school is organising a competition. There are 128 students from the Maths specialist class and 80 students from the English sp

ecialist class who want to participate. They split into equal groups containing both Maths and English students. The school forms the greatest possible number of teams. How many English students will there be in each team?plz step by step explanation​

Answer:

5 english students in each team

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are multiple ways to do this, you could do trial and error or you could factor out common numbers between the two.

Through trial and error, the lowest possible number of groups that could be divided between the number of students whilst still being able to maintain a whole # was 16 groups

  • 128 math students ÷16 groups = 8 math students/group
  • 80 english students ÷ 16 groups = 5 english students/group

The other way to solve this is to factor out common numbers between the two:

An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years,  there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is \frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007.

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by q.

q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007.

So, the probability of survive, p=1-q

\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}

=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}

=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664 (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total n skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}

Here, r=n.

\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}

\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n

\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n

\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993) [ taking \log_e both sides]

\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}

\Rightarrow n=15051.45

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

The area of a square piece of land in square units can be represented by the expression 9q4r8s6. What is the length of one side
sveta [45]
Knowing that the area of a square is equivalent the square of its side length, the length of one side can be calculated by taking the square root of the area. The square root of the expression 9q^4r^8s^8 units is equivalent to <span>3q2r4|s3| units. When taking the square root of variables, the power they are raised to is divided by 2.</span>

hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labele
Valentin [98]
I would say she should spin the wheel because, if she rolled the dice it would take a long time to get 2 5's on both dice at one time.
Hope this helps!

Polygon abcd is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the orgin to create polygon a b c d , match each set of cordinates to
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

A'(-1, 1), B'(-2, 1), C'(-2, 2) and D'(-1, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.

Rotation is the turning of an object about a point. If a point A(x, y) is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, the new point would be A'(-y, x)

From the image attached, the coordinates of polygon ABCD is A(1, 1), B(1, 2), C(2, 2), D(3, 1). If polygon ABCD is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, the new vertices would be at A'(-1, 1), B'(-2, 1), C'(-2, 2) and D'(-1, 3).
