the probability of randomly selecting a four-person committee consisting entirely of canadians from a pool of 11 americans and 18 canadian

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]Probability =0.1744[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total

[tex]American = 11[/tex]

[tex]Canadian = 18[/tex]

Selection

[tex]American = 0[/tex]

[tex]Canadian = 4[/tex]

Required

Determine the probability of selecting a 4 committee member that are Canadian.

First, we calculate total possible selection.

[tex]Total = American + Canadian[/tex]

[tex]Total = 11 + 18[/tex]

[tex]Total = 27[/tex]

Number of ways to select 4 from 27 is:

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27!}{(27-4)!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27!}{23!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27*26*25*24*23!}{23!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27*26*25*24}{4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{27*26*25*24}{4*3*2*1}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = \frac{421200}{24}[/tex]

[tex]^{27}C_4 = 17550[/tex]

Next, we calculate ways of selecting 4 Canadians from 18 is:

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18!}{(18-4)!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18!}{14!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18*17*16*15*14!}{14!4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18*17*16*15}{4!}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{18*17*16*15}{4*3*2*1}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = \frac{73440}{24}[/tex]

[tex]^{18}C_4 = 3060[/tex]

The required probability is:

[tex]Probability =\frac{3060}{17550}[/tex]

[tex]Probability =0.1744[/tex]

13) y = 3/5x + 9/5

14) y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For this explanation, let's use the last problem as the example. You would use the formula y=mx+b. The first thing you would need to find would be the slope, or m. So, you would find the slope and conclude the answer is -2. After that, you would solve for b and get the answer. Hope this helped!

Marcus can drive his boat 36 miles down the river in 3 hours but takes 4 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the boat
in still water and the rate of the current.

Answers

Answer:

With river 12 miles per hour

Against river 9 miles per hour

wv = water velocity  vsw = boat velocity in still water

vsw +wv =  12 mph

vsw -wv = 9 mph

2 * vsw = 21 mph

boat velocity in still water = 10.5

Since vsw + wv = 12 then

water velocity = 1.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

speed in still water: 10.5 Current: 1.5

The side lengths of a triangle are 5, 8, and 12. Is this a right triangle?
O A. No, because 52 + 32 + 122.
OB. No, because 5+ 8 + 12.
C. Yes, because 52 + 82 = 122.
O D. Yes, because 52 + 82 < 122

Answers

Answer:

A) No...

Step-by-step explanation:

We can check if this triangle is a right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem.

a² + b² = c² where a and b are the legs of the right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (longest side)

Using 5 for a, 8 for b, and 12 for c, let's see if this satisfies the equation:

5² + 8² = 12²

Simplify.

25 + 64 = 144 89 = 144

We can see that 89 ≠ 144, so this leaves us with answer choices A and B. I think you meant to write < for the last + sign.

Seeing as the sum of the two lengths of the triangle is greater than the third side length, this creates a normal triangle. This cannot be the correct answer choice since this only satisfies the requirements for a triangle, but not a right triangle.

This leaves us with answer choice A.  52 + 32 ≠ 122 and 52 + 32 < 122. (I'm not sure why the squares of the side lengths are not used, but this should be the correct answer.)

How to derive a sinusoidal expression?

We must figure out the periodic phenomenon's amplitude, period, and vertical shift in order to create a sinusoidal function that models it. Additionally, we must choose between using a sine or a cosine function and calculate the ensuing phase shift.

Given

A = 5+1 = 6

Shift = 21

ω =- π/3[because of 4th quadrant]

exp = Asin[-ωt] + shift

      =-Acosωt + shift = -6cosπ/3 t + 21

Scrat the squirrel has a few nuts. When he put them in groups of 5 nuts, two nuts were left, and
when he laid them out in groups of 3 nuts, there were no nuts left. How many nuts among the
options provided below could belong to Scrat?​

Answers

Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will solve this in a general way.

Let's suppose that there are N nuts

If we divide the N nuts into groups of 5, there will be a remainder of 2 nuts.

If we divide the N nuts into groups of 3, there is no remainder.

This means taht N is a multiple of 3. then we can write:

N = 3*k

where k is a random integer.

Now, we know that when we divide N by 5, there is a remainder of 2 nuts, this means that N is equal to a multiple of 5 plus 2, then we can write:

N = 5*j + 2

where j is a random integer.

Now we only need to find a pair of k and j (both positive integers) such that:

3*k = 5*j + 2

We can rewrite this as:

k = (5/3)*j + (2/3)

Now we could just input different values of j, and see if k is also an integer:

j = 2

k = (5/3)*2 + 2/3 = 10/3 + 2/3 = 12/3 = 4

Then the pair j = 2, k = 4 is a possible solution.

N = 3*k = 3*4 = 12

N = 5*j + 2 = 5*2 + 2 = 12

From this we can conclude that N = 12, so Scrat has 12 nuts.

Now with the equation

k = (5/3)*j + (2/3)

We can find other possible combinations of j and k, that will give different values for N.

for example, if j = 5:

k = (5/3)*5 + 2/3 = 25/3 + 2/3 = 27/3 = 9

Then the pair j = 5, k = 9 is also a possible solution:

N = 3*k = 3*9 =  27

N = 5*j + 2 = 5*5 + 2 = 27

In this case, Scrat has 27 nuts.

A rectangular mat has an area of 7/12 in2. The length of the mat is 5/6 in. What is the width of the mat

Answers

The width of the mat with the given area and length is 7/10 in.

What is the width of the mat?

The area of a rectangle is expressed as;

A = l × w

Where l is length and w is width.

Given the data in the question;

Area A = 7/12 in²Length l = 5/6 inWidth w = ?

We plug our given values into the above equation and solve for w.

A = l × w

7/12 = 5/6 × w

w = 7/12 ÷ 5/6

w = 7/12 ÷ 6/5

w = 42/60

w = 7/10 in

Therefore, the width of the mat with the given area and length is 7/10 in.

A dragon lived in a cave.
The dragon doubled in size every day.
After 20 days the dragon filled the cave.
After how many days did the dragon half-fill the cave?

Answers

Answer: After 19 days, the dragon filled half of the cave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dragon doubled in size every day and after 20 days he filled the cave.

So, one day before, the dragon occupied half of the cave.

20 - 1 = 19  [days]

After 19 days did the dragon half-fill the cave.

The dragon doubles in size every day, and after 20 days, it completely fills the cave.

To find out when the dragon half-filled the cave, we need to determine how many days it took for the dragon to reach half of the cave's capacity.

we know that,

On the 20th day, the dragon filled the entire cave.

and, The dragon doubled in size every day.

so, we have,

On the 19th day, the dragon's size would have been half of what it was on the 20th day.

On the 18th day, the dragon's size would have been half of what it was on the 19th day.

And so on...

We can see that every day before the 20th day, the dragon's size was halved.

So, on the 19th day, the dragon's size was half of the size it was on the 20th day.

Therefore, on the 19th day, the dragon half-filled the cave, and on the 20th day, it filled the entire cave.

Hence, After 19 days did the dragon half-fill the cave.

Multiply equation (II) by (-3) and then add. So, x will be eliminated and we can find the value of y

(I)            3x - 2y = 1

(II)*(-3)   -3x -12y = -99         {Now add}

                 - 14y = -98

                        y = -98/14

y = 7

Plugin y = 7  in equation (I)

3x - 2*7 = 1

A manufacturer knows that their items have a normally distributed length, with a mean of 16.2 inches, and standard deviation of 0.9 inches. If one item is chosen at random, what is the probability that it is less than 16.4 inches long

Answers

Answer:

57.926%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the probability that it is less than

16.4 inches long

Using this formula

z = (X - μ) / σ

Where,

X represent Date=16.4

μ represent Mean=16.2

σ represent Standard deviation=0.9 inches

Let plug in the formula

z = (16.4 - 16.2) /0.9 inches

z=0.2/0.9 inches

z = 0.2

Using Z-score table to find the area of 0.2

z=0.57926*100

z=57.926%

Therefore the probability that it is less than

16.4 inches long is 57.926%
