Leena walked 2/3 of a mile What is 2/3 written as a sum of unit fractions with the denominator of nine

1 answer:

3 0

Bear in mind that multiplying anything, and anything whatsoever by 1, has a product of the anything itself.

so, let's multiply 2/3 by 1 then and check about,

$\bf \cfrac{same}{same}=1\qquad thus\cfrac{2}{3}\cdot 1\implies \cfrac{2}{3}\cdot \cfrac{3}{3}\implies \cfrac{6}{9}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we can split that and write it as a sum}\implies \cfrac{1+5}{9}\implies \cfrac{1}{9}+\cfrac{5}{9}$

Scott likes to run long distances. He can run 20 km in 85 minutes. He wants to know how many minutes (m) it will take him to run

gtnhenbr [62]

You wanna
divide 85 and 52
because he can run 20 KM in 85 min
and he wants to see how long it takes him to run 52 KM
So the first one is correct

Answer:

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 15000, p = 0.09$

$\mu = E(X) = np = 15000*0.09 = 1350$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{15000*0.09*0.91} = 35.05$

What is the probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1500-1 = 1499. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1499 - 1350}{35.05}$

$Z = 4.25$

$Z = 4.25$ has a pvalue of 1.

1 - 1 = 0

0% probability that at least 1,500 will agree to respond

Given: WXYZ is a parallelogram, ZX ≅ WY

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: WXYZ is a parallelogram, ZX ≅ WY

Prove: WXYZ is a rectangle

Proof:

Step 1. WXYZ is a parallelogram and ZX ≅ WY (Given)

Step 2. ZY ≅ WX (Opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent)

Step 3. YX ≅ YX (Reflexive Property)

Step 4. Consider △ZYX and △WXY, we have

ZX ≅ WY (Given)

ZY ≅ WX (Opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent)

YX ≅ YX (Reflexive Property)

Thus, by SSS rule, △ZYX ≅ △WXY

Step 5. By CPCTC, ∠ZYX ≅ ∠WXY

Step 6. m∠ZYX ≅ m∠WXY (Definition of congruency)

Step 7. m∠ZYX + m∠WXY = 180° ( consecutive ∠s in a parallelogram are supplementary)

Step 8. m∠ZYX + m∠ZYX = 180° (Substitution)

Step 9. 2(m∠ZYX) = 180° (Simplification)

Step 10. m∠ZYX = 90° (Dividing property of equality)

Step 11. WXYZ is a rectangle (Rectangle angle theorem)

Hence proved.

stira [4]

Answer:

a. p(x<= 5) = .15 + .4 + .25 = .8

C. .4(4.2) = 1.68

5.4(1-.4) = 3.24

3.24 + 1.68 = 4.92 ,, 4.92 > 4.55 so short is better
