What is 2.408 rounded to the nearest hundredth

Find the x-intercept of the line whose equation is 8x + 2y = 4.

horrorfan [7]

Answer: Hope this helps you

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x-int of any equation, you will need to replace the y with a 0 since when the x-int is when y is 0.

8x+2y = 4 ➨ 8x+2*0 = 4

Now I will do 2*0 which anything times 0 is equal to 0. And we are left with the equation of:

8x = 4

Now I will divide both sides by 8, which isolates our x.

x = 1/2

The x-int is 1/2.

The newly elected president needs to decide the remaining 8 spots available in the cabinet he/she is appointing. If there are 14

Elanso [62]

Answer:

The members of the cabinet can be appointed in 121,080,960 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rank is important(matters), which means that the order in which the candidates are chosen is important. That is, if we exchange the position of two candidates, it is a new outcome. So we use the permutations formula to solve this quesiton.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

If there are 14 eligible candidates for these positions (where rank matters), how many different ways can the members of the cabinet be appointed?

Permutations of 8 from a set of 14. So

$P_{(14,8)} = \frac{14!}{(14-8)!} = 121,080,960$

The members of the cabinet can be appointed in 121,080,960 different ways.

According to a survey, 60 % of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino. Of these 60 % about 8 out of 10 strongly opp

katrin [286]

Answer:

(a) 0.48

(b) 0.20

(c) it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino.

The probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the cassino is the product of the two probabilities, that a resident opposes the casino and that it strongly opposes the casino (once it is in the first group) as it is shown below.

Use this notation:

Probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino: P(A)

Probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it: P(B/A), because it is the probability of event B given the event A

i) Determine the probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino, P(A)

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

P(A) is given as 60%, which in decimal form is 0.60

ii) Next, determine,the probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it, P(B/A):

It is given as 8 out of 10 ⇒ P(B/A) = 8/10

iii) You want the probability of both events, which is the joint probability or intersection: P(A∩B).

So, you can use the definition of conditional probability:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

iv) From which you can solve for P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(B/A)×P(A) = (8/10)×(0.60) = 0.48

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino.

In this case, you just want the complement of the probability that a radomly selected resident who opposes the casino does strongly oppose the casino, which is 1 - P(B/A) = 1 - 8/10 = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2.

(c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino?

You are being asked about the joint probability (PA∩B), which you found in the part (a) and it is 0.48.

That is almost 0.50 or half of the population, so you conclude it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino.

Solve the following system of equations and show all work. y = -x^2 + 4 y = 2x + 1

Pavel [41]

-x^2 + 4 = 2x + 1
-x^2 - 2x + 4 - 1 = 0
-x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0
(x + 3)(-x + 1)= 0

x + 3 = 0 -x + 1 = 0
x = -3 -x = -1
x = 1

so x = -3 and x = 1
