B + N = 18 and 6B + 5N = 101. This is the system of equations you would use.

It is claimed that 55% of marriages in the state of California end in divorce within the first 15 years. A large study was start

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

0.0045 = 0.45% probability that less than two of them ended in a divorce

Step-by-step explanation:

For each marriage, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it ended in divorce, or it did not. The probability of a marriage ending in divorce is independent of any other marriage. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

55% of marriages in the state of California end in divorce within the first 15 years.

This means that $p = 0.55$

Suppose 10 marriages are randomly selected.

This means that $n = 10$

What is the probability that less than two of them ended in a divorce?

This is

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.55)^{0}.(0.45)^{10} = 0.0003$

$P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.55)^{1}.(0.45)^{9} = 0.0042$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.0003 + 0.0042 = 0.0045$

0.0045 = 0.45% probability that less than two of them ended in a divorce

Find the area of a regular polygon

Dimas [21]

Answer:

(N-2)x180=sum of interior angles

So (5-2)x180=540

Divided by number of sides=540/4=108... then each angle is 108 divide to triangles ..so they will have 2 angles =54 2 sides =4 the last angle =72 ."of the triangle " area of triangle =1/2xsxsxsin(side in

between)

So 1/2x4x4xsin(72)= then multiply it by 5 as u will have 5 triangles .. so it will be 190.2(probably i tried)

In 2004, a magazine's circulation was about 1,000,000 readers. In 2014, the magazine had about 2,000,000 readers. Write a linear

professor190 [17]

Answer:

$r(t)=100,000t+600,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

r ----> the number of readers (y-coordinate or dependent variable)

t ----> the number of years after 2000 (x-coordinate or independent variable)

Remember

2004 ----> represent t=4 years

2014 ----> represent t=14 years

we have the ordered pairs

(4,1,000,000) and (14,2,000,000)

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{2,000,000-1,000,000}{14-4}$

$m=\frac{1,000,000}{10}$

$m=100,000\frac{readers}{year}$

step 2

Find the equation of the line in point slope form

$r-r1=m(t-t1)$

we have

$m=100,000\\point\ (4,1,000,000)$

substitute

$r-1,000,000=100,000(t-4)$

step 3

Convert to slope intercept form

$r=mt+b$

isolate the variable r

$r-1,000,000=100,000t-400,000\\r=100,000t-400,000+1,000,000\\r=100,000t+600,000$

step 4

Convert to function notation

$r(t)=100,000t+600,000$

A student estimates the weight of astronauts on the moon by multiplying their weight by the decimal 0.16666....what fraction can

Elden [556K]

Let $x = 1.66666...$ ....(1)

Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 10.

$10x = 1.666666....$ .... (2)

Multiply both sides of equation (1) by 100.

$100x = 16.66666....$ ... (3)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (3)

$100x - 10x = 16.66666...- 1.66666...$

$90x = 15$

$x= \frac{15}{90} = \frac{1}{6}$

Hence, the required fraction form is $\frac{1}{6}$ .... Answer.
