In a large population, 61% of the people are vaccinated, meaning there are 39% who are not. The problem asks for the probability that out of the 4 randomly selected people, at least one of them has been vaccinated. Therefore, we need to add all the possibilities that there could be one, two, three or four randomly selected persons who were vaccinated.

For only one person, we use P(1), same reasoning should hold for other subscripts.

P(1) = (61/100)(39/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.03618459
P(2) = (61/100)(61/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.05659641
P(3) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(39/100) = 0.08852259
P(4) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(61/100) = 0.13845841

Adding these probabilities, we have 0.319761. Therefore the probability of at least one person has been vaccinated out of 4 persons randomly selected is 0.32 or 32%, rounded off to the nearest hundredths.

Draw the picture and label the 
  width = w 
 The length of the monitor is six times the quantity of five less than half its width:
 length = 6(w/2-5)
 length = 3w-30
 Area = (length)*(width)
 384=(3w-30)*(w)
 384=3w^2-30w
 Answer:
 the dimensions of the monitor in terms of its width is: 
 384=3w^2-30w

Write a different expression that has the same quotient as -3/8 and 3/-8.
matrenka [14]
An equivalent fraction is a fraction formed by multiplying the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by a common number.

-\frac{3}{8} =- \frac{3\times2}{8\times2} = -\frac{6}{16}

Heidi solved the equation 3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4). Her steps are below: 3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x – 20 3x + 14 = 5x – 18 14 = 2x
konstantin123 [22]
First, she distributed 3*x=3x , 3*4=12, 5*x= 5x, 5* -4= -20
Which gave her 3x+12+2=2+5x-20
Then, she combined like terms 12+2=14 and 2+ -20 = -18
Which gave her 3x+14=5x-18
Then, she subtracted 3x from both sided 
Which gave her 14=2x-18
Then, she added 18 to both sides
Which gave her 32=2x
And finally sh edivided 32 by 2 and got 16=x
hope this helps if you have any questions please pm me :)
