Answer:

5/136

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance of an event happening.

Probability = (Favorable outcome)/(total outcome)

P(r and n) = 2/17 × 5/16

=(2 × 5)/(17 × 16)

= 10/272

= 5/136

Answer:

The required probability is \frac{5}{136}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the total number of reference book is 2.

Fiction books are 10 and non fiction books are 5.

Thus, the total book are: 5 + 10 + 2 = 17

The probability that Nadia picks up a reference book is:

P(Reference) = \frac{2}{17}

Now with out replacing it she pick up another book.

The probability that she randomly picks up a non-fiction book is:

P(Nonfiction) = \frac{5}{16}

Now we need to find the probability that she randomly picks up a reference book and then, without replacing it, picks up a nonfiction book.

In order to find the required probability multiply both the probability as shown:

P(\text{Nonfiction}|\text{Reference})=\frac{2}{17}\times\frac{5}{16}

P(\text{Nonfiction}|\text{Reference})=\frac{5}{136}

Hence, the required probability is \frac{5}{136}.

Carl scored 32 on the ACT mathematics Test and 730 on the mathematics portion of the SAT. If the ACT Math Test had a mean score
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Carl's ACT grade had a higher z-score, which means that he earned a better score with respect to his peers on the ACT test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score

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.

On which exam did Carl earn a better score with respect to his peers?

On whichever exam he had the higher z-score.

SAT

Scored 730, mean 516, standard deviation 116. So

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

Z = \frac{730 - 516}{116}

Z = 1.84

ACT

Scored 32, mean 21, standard deviation 5.3. So

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

Z = \frac{32 - 21}{5.3}

Z = 2.08

Carl's ACT grade had a higher z-score, which means that he earned a better score with respect to his peers on the ACT test.

crimeas [40]

Answer: The expression that represents the area of Mary's new garden =2x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square is given by x^2, where x is the length of one side. The length of the other side is also x. In a square, all sides are equal. each of the four sides equal x

Area = x × x

Area = x^2

She decided to double the area of her garden

New area = 2(x × x)

New area = 2x^2

The expression that represents the area of Mary's new garden =2x^2

A population of butterflies grows in such a way that each generation is simply 1.5 times the previous generation. There were 350
kap26 [50]

Answer:

378.5 or just 378

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear model with x representing the number of generations that's gone by, y is the number of butterflies after x number of generations has gone by, and the 350 represents the number of butterflies initially (before any time has gone by.  When x = 0, y = 350 so that's the y-intercept of our equation.)

The form for a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change and b is the y-intercept, the initial amount when x = 0.

Our rate of change is 1.5 and the initial amount of butterflies is 350, so filling in the equation we get a model of y = 1.5x + 350.

If we want y when x = 19, plug 19 in for x and solve for y:

y = 1.5(19) + 350

y = 378.5

Since we can't have .5 of a butterfly we will round down to 378
