Five men and eight women work in a firm’s PR office. Their employer must choose two of them to attend a conference in Chicago. What is the probability of choosing one woman and one man to attend the conference?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

P(W∩M)= 20/39= 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have a total of 13 employees in the office, 5 are men and 8 are women.

Be the events:

M: The employee is a male

W: the employee is female

If you were to choose only one employee, the probability of the employee being a man will be P(M)= 5/13 and the probability of the employee being a woman will be P(W)= 8/13.

Now you are in a situation where you have to choose two employees at random, without replacement, and need to calculate the probability of choosing one woman and one man. There is no order specified in the question so when choosing the two employees there are two possible scenarios:

"The first employee is a woman and the second employee is a man"

or

"A first employee is a man and the second employee is a woman"

Symbolically:

P(W∩M)= P((W₁∩M₂)∪(M₁∩W₂))= (P(W₁∩M₂))+P(P(M₁∩W₂))

The subindex marks the order the events appeared.

Remember "and" in the sentence marks the intersection between two events "∩" and "or" mark the union between two events "∪"

First I'll solve both intersections:

P(W₁∩M₂)= P(W₁) * P(M₂)= (8/13) * (5/12)= 10/39

As I said before, this exercise is without replacement, so the first person chosen will be out of the 13 employees of the office, but when choosing the second one the total number of employees will be reduced by one (you count out the already chosen employee)

P(M₁∩W₂)= P(M₁) * P(W₂)= (5/13)*(8/12)= 10/39

In this item is the same, for the second draft, the total of employees is reduced by one since one male has already been chosen.

⇒ Mathematically both intersections are the same so you can express their union as:

(P(W₁∩M₂))+P(P(M₁∩W₂))= 2* (P(W₁∩M₂))= 2*10/39= 20/39= 0.51

I hope you have a SUPER day!

sqrt(128)-->

11.3 (C)

Answer:

11.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a right triangle with the hypotenuse of 12 and a leg of 4

Using the pythagorean theorem

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

4^2 + b^2 = 12^2

16 +b^2 = 144

Subtract 16 from each side

b^2 =144-16

b^2 =128

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt( 128)

b =11.3137085

Two terms of an arithmetic sequence are $a_{12}=70$a12​=70​ and A sub 30 is equal to 124$a_{30}=124$a30​=124​ . Write an explicit rule for the n$n$n​ th term

Answers

Answer:

Tn = 34+3n

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as shown;

[tex]Tn = a+(n-1)d[/tex]

a is the first term of the sequence

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

If T₁₂ = 70 and T₃₀ = 124

T₁₂  = a+(12-1)d = 70

T₁₂  = a+11d = 70... (1)

Similarly;

T₃₀ = a + (30-1)d = 124

T₃₀ = a +29d = 124...(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get a and d.

Subtracting 2 from 1 we have;

29d - 11d = 124-70

18d = 54

d = 54/18

d = 3

Substituting d = 3 into equation 1 to get a we have;

a + 11(3) = 70

a + 33 = 70

a = 70-33

a = 37

The explicit rule for the nth term of the sequence can be gotten by substituting the value of a and d into the formula Tn = a+(n-1)d

Tn = 37+(n-1)*3

Tn = 37+3n-3

Tn = 34+3n

The dogs in an animal parade are grouped by size. There are 18 small dogs, 12 medium-sized dogs, and 10 large dogs. If one dog is randomly chosen to lead the parade, what is the probability that a medium-sized dog will be chosen

Answers

Answer:

0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of small dogs = 18

Number of medium-sized dogs = 12

Number of large dogs = 10

To find: probability that a medium-sized dog will be chosen

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurrence of some event.

Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

Total number of dogs = 18 + 12 + 10 = 40

Number of medium-sized dogs = 12

So,

probability that a medium-sized dog will be chosen = Number of medium-sized dogs/Total number of dogs = [tex]\frac{12}{40}=0.3[/tex]

An art class offered painting classes on 22 out of 3” days in September. What decimal is equivalent to the fraction of days in September that classes were offered?

Answers

Answer:

0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Painting classes were offered on 22 out of 30 days in September.

To find: decimal that is equivalent to the fraction of days in September that classes were offered

Solution:

Total number of days in September = 30

Number of days when painting classes were offered = 22

So,

fraction of days in September when classes were offered = [tex]\frac{22}{30}=\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

Therefore,

decimal equivalent to the fraction of days in September when classes were offered = 0.73

Theresa has a rectangular pool 30 ft long, 15 ft wide, and 4 ft deep. Theresa fills her pool using city water at a rate of $3.95 per 100 gallons of water.


Nancy has a circular pool with a diameter of 24 ft and a depth of 4 ft. Nancy fills her pool with a water delivery service at a rate of $200 per 6000 gallons.


If Theresa and Nancy both fill their pools 6 inches from the top of the pool, determine and state who paid more to fill her pool. [ 1 ft3 water = 7.48 gallons]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Both pools were filled 6 inches from the top.

12 inches = 1 feet

6 inches = 6/12 = 0.5 foot

Considering Theresa's pool, it is rectangular. The formula for determining the volume if the rectangular pool is

Volume = length × width × height

Height filled is 4 - 0.5 = 3.5 feet

Volume = 30 × 15 × 3.5 = 1575 ft³

Recall, 1 cubic feet = 7.48 Us gallons

Therefore,

1800 cubic feet = 1575 × 7.48 = 11781 gallons of water

Theresa fills her pool using city water at a rate of $3.95 per 100 gallons of water. It means that the amount she paid to fill her pool is

3.95 × 11781/100 = $465.35

Considering Nancy's pool, it is cylindrical. The formula for determining the volume if the cylindrical pool is

Volume = πr²h

Diameter = 24

Radius = diameter/2 = 24/2 = 12 ft

Volume = 3.14 × 12² × 3.5 = 1582.56 ft³. Converting to gallons, it becomes

1582.56 × 7.48 = 11837.55 gallons of water.

Nancy fills her pool with a water delivery service at a rate of $200 per 6000 gallons.

It means that the amount she paid to fill her pool is

200 × 11837.55/6000 = $394.59

Therefore, Theresa paid more to fill her pool.

Place parentheses around one operation and two numbers to make this equation true. Then solve it, showing all of your steps. 64 - 8 + 12 x 2 + 9 = 188

Answers

Answer:

64 - 8 + 12 x (2 + 9) = 188

Step-by-step explanation:

64 - 8 + 12 x 2 + 9 = 188

Putting parentheses around two numbers and one operation:

64 - 8 + 12 x (2 + 9) = 188

Following the BODMAS principle

Solving the bracket or parentheses first

(2 + 9) = 11

64 - 8 + 12 × 11

Then multiplication:

12 × 11 = 132

64 - 8 + 132

Then addition:

-8 + 132 = 124

64 + 124 = 188
