Team A) 45 people
Team B) 55 people

A)There are two ways to solve this problem, finding the number of combinations possible for Team B, or the number of combinations possible for Team A. 
Team A
It's a given that 20 mathematicians are on team A, which leavs the other 25 people for team A to be chosen from a pool of 80 (100- 20 mathletes)
80-C-25 = 80! / (25!/(80-25)!) =<span>363,413,731,121,503,794,368
</span>or 3.63 x 10^20
Solving using Team B
Same concept, but choosing 55 from a pool of 80 (mathletes excluded)
80-C-25 = 80! / (55!(80-55!) = 363,413,731,121,503,794,368
or 3.63 x 10^20

As you can, we get the same answer for both. 

B)
If none of the mathematicians are on team A, then we exclude the 20 and choose 45:
80-C-45 = 80! / (45!(80-45)!) = <span>5,790,061,984,745,3606,481,440
or 5.79 x 10^22

Note that, if you solve from the perspective of Team B (80-C-35), you get the same answer</span>

Use a 95​% prediction interval to predict the useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the cutting speed is 45 meters per minu
qwelly [4]

Answer:

<em>The answer resides in the explanation.</em>

<em>Pls rate as brainliest </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the speed is 45 meters per minute is 1.2 to 5.5 hours.

The predicted useful life of a brand B cutting tool when the speed is 45 meters per minute is 3.4 to 5.4 hours.

The prediction interval for brand A is larger than the prediction interval for brand B because the estimated standard error of  y^ is different for the two intervals.

The prediction intervals are both larger than the corresponding confidence intervals.

The standard error for the estimated mean value of y is smaller than the standard error for the predicted value of y.

The predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool that is operated at 100  meters per minute is -0.59 hours

The actual predicted useful life of a brand A cutting tool when the speed is 100 meters per minute is 0.0 to 2.3 hours.

Please help thank you.

This problem can be completed in 2 ways. Both are acceptable.

Option 1:


This is an isosceles trapezoid that can be divided into a rectangle and two congruent triangles.

The area of the rectangle is the base times the height.

9 \times 4=36

The area of one of the triangles is half the base times the height.

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4 = 10

The other triangle must have that area too.

36+10+10=56

The area is 56 square centimeters.

Option 2:

We can use the area formula for the trapezoid.

A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2} \times h

Where b_1 is the length of the shorter base
and b_2 is the length of the longer base
and h is the height.

The length of the shorter base is 9.
The length of the longer base is 9+5+5, or 19.

The height is 4.

A=\dfrac{9+19}{2} \times 4

=56

Same answer. The area is 56 square centimeters.

Both options are two acceptable ways the problem can be tackled.

2w^2-11w=-12 <br> a w=3/2 or 4<br> b w=1 or 12<br> c w=1 or 7<br> d w = 2.5 or 6
dlinn [17]
Hey mate !!
Here's your answer !!


2w^2 - 11w = -12
2w^2 -11w + 12 = 0
2w^2 - 8w - 3w + 12 = 0

2w ( w - 4) -3 ( w - 4) = 0
(2w - 3) ( w - 4) = 0

Hence

2w - 3 = 0
2w = 3
w = 3/2

w - 4 = 0
w = 4

Hence value of w are 4 and 3/2

Hope this helps!!
Cheers!!

The volume of a boys' basketball is 434 cubic inches. Dan would like to get a ball
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. 9.4 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the volume of a boys' basketball is 434 cubic inches, and Dan would like to get a ball with half the volume for his son, to determine what is the diameter of the ball that Dan will buy for his son, the following calculation has to be done, knowing that the volume of a sphere is four thirds multiplied by pi multiplied by the radius cubed:

4/3 x 3.14 x X ^ 3 = 434

4.186 x X ^ 3 = 434

X ^ 3 = 434 / 4.186

X = 3√ 103.662

X = 4.7

In turn, since the radius of a sphere is equal to half its diameter, the diameter of the basketball is 9.4 inches (4.7 x 2).
