A family has 8 girls and 4 boys. A total of 3 children must be chosen to speak on behalf of the family at a local benefit. What is the probability that no girls and 3 boys will be chosen?

Answers

Answer 1

Final answer:

The probability that no girls and 3 boys will be chosen is 1/55 or approximately 1.82%.

Explanation:

To find the probability that no girls and 3 boys will be chosen, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.

There are a total of 12 children (8 girls + 4 boys) in the family. Since 3 children are being chosen, the total number of possible outcomes is the combination of 12 children taken 3 at a time, which is denoted as C(12, 3) = 220.

The number of favorable outcomes is choosing 3 boys from the 4 available boys, which is denoted as C(4, 3) = 4.

Therefore, the probability of choosing no girls and 3 boys is 4/220 = 1/55, which can be reduced to approximately 0.0182 or 1.82%.

A blackboard has an area of 28ft2 and a perimeter of 22 ft. What are the dimensions of the board?

Answers

2[L + W] =22

L*W = 28

W = 28/L sub this in the first equation

Solve for L:

2 (L + 28/L) = 22

Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides by 2:

L + 28/L = 11

Write the left hand side as a single fraction.

Bring L + 28/L together using the common denominator L:

(L^2 + 28)/L = 11

Multiply both sides by a polynomial to clear fractions.

Multiply both sides by L:

L^2 + 28 = 11 L

Move everything to the left hand side.

Subtract 11 L from both sides:

L^2 - 11 L + 28 = 0

Factor the left hand side.

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(L - 7) (L - 4) = 0

Find the roots of each term in the product separately.

Split into two equations:

L - 7 = 0 or L - 4 = 0

Look at the first equation: Solve for L.

Add 7 to both sides:

L = 7 or L - 4 = 0

Look at the second equation: Solve for L.

Add 4 to both sides:

L = 7       or L = 4         and        W=4      or W = 7

The dimensions of a rectangular playground are 50 times the dimensions of a scale drawing of the playground the area of the scale drawing is 6 feet what is the area of the actual playground

Answers

The area of the actual playground is [tex]\( 15000 \)[/tex] square feet. To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the scale drawing and the actual playground dimensions.

Let's denote:

- [tex]\( l \)[/tex] as the length of the scale drawing,

- [tex]\( w \)[/tex] as the width of the scale drawing,

- [tex]\( L \)[/tex]  as the length of the actual playground, and

- [tex]\( W \)[/tex] as the width of the actual playground.

Given that the dimensions of the actual playground are 50 times the dimensions of the scale drawing, we have the following relationships:

[tex]\[ L = 50l \][/tex]

[tex]\[ W = 50w \][/tex]

We are given that the area of the scale drawing is 6 square feet. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula [tex]\( \text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \).[/tex] So, for the scale drawing:

[tex]\[ \text{Area of scale drawing} = l \times w = 6 \][/tex]

Now, we need to find the length and width of the actual playground and then calculate its area.

From the relationship between the actual playground and the scale drawing, we have:

[tex]\[ L = 50l \][/tex]

[tex]\[ W = 50w \][/tex]

So, we can express [tex]\( l \) and \( w \)[/tex] in terms of [tex]\( L \) and \( W \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ l = \frac{L}{50} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ w = \frac{W}{50} \][/tex]

Now, let's substitute these expressions into the equation for the area of the scale drawing:

[tex]\[ \text{Area of scale drawing} = \left(\frac{L}{50}\right) \times \left(\frac{W}{50}\right) = 6 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{L \times W}{2500} = 6 \][/tex]

To find the area of the actual playground, we need to solve for [tex]\( L \times W \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ L \times W = 6 \times 2500 = 15000 \][/tex]

Therefore, the area of the actual playground is [tex]\( 15000 \)[/tex] square feet.

Is there a direct proportion in 2y-5=x? If there is one, what is the constant of proportionality?

Answers

Answer: This is not a direct proportion

=========================================

Explanation:

Solve for y
2y-5 = x
2y = x+5
y = (x+5)/2
y = (x/2) + (5/2)
y = 0.5x + 2.5

The last equation is in the form y = mx+b where m = 0.5 is the slope and b = 2.5 is the y intercept. The y intercept must be b = 0 in order for the graph to go through the origin. Since b = 2.5 is not zero, this is why we don't have a direct proportion.

Note: direct proportions are often written in the form y = k*x which is basically y = mx+b, but the m has been replaced with k and the b is removed (because b = 0) 

Help I don’t know the answer (only answer if you know what it truly is)

so how you find the x-intercept is is by replacing y, with 0 and solve

The radius of circle O is 24,and OC = 11. What is the length of AB?

Answers

The answer is A.

42.7

Answer:  The correct option is (A) 42.7 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the radius of the circle center at O is 24 units and OC is 11 units.

We are to find the length of chord AB.

We have,

in the right-angled triangle OCB (m∠OCB = 90°),

OB = 24 units and OC = 11 units.

Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔOCB, we have

[tex]OB^2=OC^2+BC^2\\\\\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt{OB^2-OC^2}\\\\\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt{24^2-11^2}\\\\\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt{576-121}\\\\\Rightarrow BC=\sqrt{455}\\\\\Rightarrow BC=21.33.[/tex]

Since OC is perpendicular to chord AB, so AC = BC.

Therefore, we get

[tex]AB=AC+BC=2\times BC=2\times 21.33=42.66=42.7.[/tex]

Thus, the required length of AB is 42.7 units.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

Answer:

The y-coordinate of the solution is, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation:

[tex]y = -2x+4[/tex]            ....[1]

[tex]y=x^2+4x+13[/tex]         ....[2]

Equate the equation [1] and [2] we have;

[tex]-2x+4 = x^2+4x+13[/tex]

Add 2x to both sides of an equation:

[tex]4 = x^2+6x+13[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides we have;

[tex]0= x^2+6x+9[/tex]

or

[tex]x^2+6x+9=0[/tex]

Using perfect square:

[tex](x+a)^2 = x^2+2ax+a^2[/tex]

⇒We can write the equation as:

[tex]x^2+2 \cdot 3x+3^2=0[/tex]

then;

[tex](x+3)^2 = 0[/tex]

⇒[tex]x+3 = 0[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides we have;

x = -3

Substitute value of x in [1] we have;

[tex]y = -2(-3)+4[/tex]

⇒[tex]y =6+4=10[/tex]

Solution for the given system of equation = (-3, 10)

Subtract a-4 from 4a+16 and simplify your answer. The variable a should appear only once in your answer.

Answers

Subtracting from a number means removing from a term.

So we set it up as (4a+16)-(a-4)

Now we distribute the - to a and -4.

So now it is 4a+16-a+4

Combine the like terms to get 4a-a+16+4

So your answer is 3a+20

Subtracting a-4 from 4a+16 and then simplifying the expression will be 3a + 20.

This is a simple expression and we have to subtract a-4 from 4a+16 and then simplify the answer. This will be:

(4a + 16) - (a - 4)

= 4a - a + 16 + 4

= 3a + 20

In conclusion, based on the calculation above, the answer is 3a + 20.

A sphere and a cylinder have the same diameter. The height of the cylinder is equal to its diameter. Which shape has a greater volume?

Answers

The cylinder has a greater volume than the sphere when both have the same diameter and the cylinder's height is equal to its diameter, as the formulas for their volumes show that V_cylinder > V_sphere.

The question asks which shape has a greater volume: a sphere with the same diameter as a cylinder or a cylinder where the height is equal to the diameter. To solve this, we need to compare their volumes using mathematical formulas.

The volume of a sphere with radius r is given by V_sphere = (4/3) * π * r^3. Since the diameter of the cylinder is the same as the diameter of the sphere, we can use the same value for r, where r is half of the diameter.

The volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h (which, in this case, is also 2r) is calculated as V_cylinder = π * r^2 * h. For the cylinder, since h = 2r, we substitute to get V_cylinder = π * r^2 * (2r) = 2 * π * r^3.

Comparing the two volumes, it is clear that the volume of the cylinder (2 * π * r^3) is greater than that of the sphere ((4/3) * π * r^3). Therefore, the cylinder has a greater volume than the sphere when both shapes have the same diameter and the cylinder's height is equal to its diameter.

Final answer:

The sample size is calculated to be 200 based on the percentage for Candidate A. From the sample, 120 students said they will vote for Candidate C. Predicting based on this sample, 1,500 students in the school will vote for Candidate C.

Explanation:

To find the number of students in the sample who said they will vote for Candidate C, we need to use the percentages given for each candidate. If Candidate A is 25%, Candidate B is 15%, and Candidate C is 60%, and knowing that 50 students in the sample voted for Candidate A, we can determine the total sample size. Since Candidate A represents 25% of the sample, we can calculate the total sample size using the equation 50 = 0.25 × (total sample size). Solving for total sample size gives us 200.

With the sample size known, we can calculate the number of students who said they will vote for Candidate C by taking 60% of 200, which is 120 students in the sample. To predict the number of students in the school who will vote for Candidate C, we use the proportion of the sample who choose Candidate C to estimate the proportion for the entire school population. Since there are 2,500 students in the school, we predict that 60% of 2,500 will vote for Candidate C, which amounts to 1,500 students.

Thomas ordered 2 Japanese comic books and twice that number of American comic books. He also ordered 4 Spanish comic books. Thomas told his mom he ordered 8 comic books.



Was Thomas's calculation reasonable?


A.
Yes, it is reasonable because 2 + 2 + 4 = 8.

B.
No, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 = 6.

C.
No, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 + 4 = 10.

Answers

The answer is C)No, it is not reasonable because 2 + 4 + 4 = 10.
This is because we do 2*2 to get 4. The rest is just basic math.

A company’s profit is modeled by the function p(x) = -2x2 + 60x − 2, where p is the profit in thousands of dollars and x is the number of units sold in hundreds. 

Based on the profit function, the company has to make ___ hundred units to make a maximum profit

Answers

Note:  Please write "x^2" (not 'x2') to indicate "the square of x."

p(x) = -2x2 + 60x − 2 is a quadratic function whose graph is that of an inverted parabola.  The vertex (which here represents the largest p(x) value) can be found using the formula 

x  = -b / (2a), which comes out to   x = -60 / (2*-2) = 15.

The company has to make 15 hundred units to gain maximum profit.

Final answer:

To find the number of units the company needs to sell to make maximum profit, we need to find the vertex of the parabola represented by the profit function. The vertex can be found using the formula x = -b / (2a), where a and b are the coefficients of the quadratic function. In this case, the company needs to sell 1500 units to make a maximum profit.

Explanation:

The profit function is given as p(x) = -2[tex]x^2[/tex] + 60x - 2, where p is the profit in thousands of dollars and x is the number of units sold in hundreds. To find the quantity that yields the maximum profit, we need to find the vertex of the parabola represented by the profit function. The x-coordinate of the vertex can be found using the formula x = -b / (2a), where a and b are the coefficients of the quadratic function. In this case, a = -2 and b = 60. Plugging these values into the formula, we get x = -60 / (2*(-2)) = 15. Since x represents the number of units sold in hundreds, the company needs to sell 1500 units to make a maximum profit.
