Answer:

0. 4329

Step by step explanation

Since both groups will have the same number of men, we would guarantee each group consists of three women and three men.

So theprobability is (6, 3)·(6, 3)/(12, 6)=100/231.

Answer:

P(A) = 400/924 = 100/231 or 0.4329

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that both groups will have the same number of men P(A);

For the two groups to have the same number of men they must include 3 men and 3 women in each group.

P(A) = Number of possible selections of 3 men from 6 and 3 women from 6 into each of the two groups N(S) ÷ total number of possible selections of members into the two groups N(T).

P(A) = N(S)/N(T)

Since order is not important, we will use combination.

N(S) = 6C3 × 6C3 = 20 × 20 = 400

N(T) = 12C6 = 924

P(A) = 400/924 = 100/231 or 0.4329

5. The measures of angles of hexagon are 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x and 9x. Calculate the size of the largest angle
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

166 2/13 deg

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon of n sides is 180(n - 2).

A hexagon has 6 sides, so n = 6.

sum of measures of angles = 180(n - 2) = 180(6 - 2) = 180(4) = 720

4x + 5x + 6x + 7x + 8x + 9x = 720

39x = 720

x = 720/39

x = 240/13

The largest angle has measure 9x.

9x = 9 * 240/13 = 2160/13

2160/13 = 166 2/13

Answer: 166 2/13 deg

The Hamden board of education wants to know how the community feels about building a new media center for the middle school. The
Aleks [24]
According to the statement above, The Hamden board of education called every <span>tenth person on the registration list. So let's analyze each case:

</span><span>The sample is not randomly chosen (FALSE)

Given that the statement doesn't tell us anything about the way they choose the sample, it is reasonable to conclude that this is a </span>randomly chosen. They called every tenth person on the registration list until the number of people was 40.

The sample should be larger to give more reliable information (TRUE)

You did not have to use mathematics to determine that you would need more information to get a conclusion. You must increase the sample, that is, the sample must be larger to give a reliable information.

The sample size is too large to make inferences (False)

This is explained in the previous item. If the sample should be lager is because the size is not too large.

The sample size is too small to represent the population (TRUE

This is true because 40 voters represent barely 0.5% of the entire list. This list has 7300 voters, so getting the conclusion from this sample doesn't provide with a strong conclusion.

<span>The sample size is too small and will show larger variation. (FALSE)

Although the sample size is too small, the sample size not necessarily will show variation. In fact, it is possible that it does not show any variation and most of the people feel well about building a new media center for the middle school but it doesn't mean that the whole community does.

The sample is invalid because it randomly chooses voters. (FALSE)

It is false because in probability studies the sample is chosen randomly, so you get conclusions about the whole population always taking samples that represent the population as a whole.

The sample size is too small and can lead to false inferences (TRUE)

You can get false conclusions given that the sample size is too small. <span>It's important to note that the sample size supports the conclusion of the study, so the sample must increase to have a reliable study.

Darya [45]

Answer: Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mr. Bartley is taking the theater club on a field trip [which must include bus or other vehicle] to see the musical wicked. The school treasurer asked Mr. Bartley for the group's total ticket cost.

He wrote the following cost function for the school treasurer.

Total Cost =52(25+2)

Since cost function is a function based on number of people and per head cost.

So, the statement which best describe the cost function is "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip."
