Answer:

$DF=201$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that segment $DE=4x+10$ , segment $EF=2x-1$ and $DF=9x-15$

From the given information, we can set an equation as:

$DF=DE+EF$

$9x-15=4x+10+2x-1$

Combine like terms:

$9x-15=6x+9$

$9x-15+15=6x+9+15$

$9x=6x+24$

$9x-6x=6x-6x+24$

$3x=24$

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{24}{3}$

$x=24$

$DF=9x-15$

$DF=9(24)-15$

$DF=216-15$

$DF=201$

Therefore, DF equals 201 units.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If DE = 4x+10,EF =2X -1, and DF= 9x - 15 find DF

(de + ef ) - df = 2e || 2e/2 = e || ed - e = d || ef - e = f || f + d = df

de + ef = 6x + 11 || (6x +11) - df = -3x -6 || 2e/2 = -3x/2 - 3 || (-3x/2 - 3) - de = x/2 + 7|| (- 3x/2 - 3) - ef = -x/2 - 1|| d + f = 6

A card is drawn from a deck of cards numbered one through twenty. The card is NOT replaced and another card is drawn. Find the p

Bess [88]

Answer:

B) P(two prime numbers are drawn in a row) = 14/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards in the deck = 20

Total prime numbered cards in deck = { 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19} = 8 cards

So, Probability of picking two prime cards from deck (without replacing)

= Probability of picking first prime card x Probability of picking second prime card

P( picking first prime card ) = $\frac{\textrm{Total prime cards in the deck}}{\textrm{Total available cards}}$

= $\frac{8 }{20} = \frac{2}{5}$

P( picking second prime card ) = $\frac{\textrm{Total prime cards in the deck}}{\textrm{Total available cards}}$

= $\frac{7}{19}$

Hence, the total probability = $\frac{2}{5} \times \frac{7}{19} = \frac{14}{95}$

or, B) P(two prime numbers are drawn in a row) = 14/95

A scale drawing of a rectangular park is 5 inches wide and 7inches long. The actual park is 280 yards long. What is the area of

choli [55]

280÷7=40. 280-80 = 200. 200×280=5,600 Length divided by scale length to find the amount that each inch scale size equals 40 yards per inch. 5 inches equals 200 yards Then multiply length times width. 200x280=5,600 yds

In a large population, 61 % of the people have been vaccinated. if 4 people are randomly selected, what is the probability that

muminat

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.
