Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "0.438".

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Mrs. Gomes finds around 40% of students in herself high school are studying chemistry.  

Although each student becomes independent of one another, we may conclude:  

"x" number of the students taking chemistry seems to be binomial to p = constant probability = 0.40

Given:

Number of surveys

= 12

Exactly 4 students have taken chemistry:

=P(X\leq4)

=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)

=\Sigma_{0}^{4} C_{r}(0.4)^r(0.6)^{12-r}

On substituting the above equation, we get the probability of approximately "0.438".

So that the above would be the appropriate answer.

2. A boy and his father played 26 games of checkers. For every game the boy lost, he gave his father 5 cents. For every game the
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: the boy won 10 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call B as the number of games won by the boy, and F as the number of games won by the father.

We know that, there is a total of 26 games:

B + F = 26.

We know that in each game won by the boy, he wins 8 cents, for every game that the father wins, the boy losses 5 cents, and we know that at the end of the 26 games, the boy did not win or lose any money, so we have:

B*8 + F*(-5) = 0.

Then we have a system of equations:

B + F = 26

8*B - 5*F = 0.

The first step is isolating one of the variables. Let's start isolating F in the first equation:

B + F = 26

F = 26 - B.

Now we can replace this in the second equation:

8*B - 5*F = 0

8*B - 5*(26 - B) = 0

8*B + 5*B - 5*26 = 0

13*B = 5*26

B = 5*26/13 = 5*2 = 10

So the boy won 10 games (then the father won the other 16 games)

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr
Cloud [144]
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and  y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

  V = a³/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the original cube is the cube of the side length:

  V = a³

When the side length is reduced to half its former value, the new volume is ...

  V = (a/2)³ = a³/2³

  V = a³/8 . . . . volume of the new cube
