We can do this using the binomial probability distribution:

5C2 * (1/2)^2 * (1/2)^3 = 10 * 1/32

= 5/16

The coin has to sides, so there are 2 possible choices given each of the 5 times. 2(5)=10. then, you divide 2 by that number (2/10), which is equal to 1/5

Given that line s is perpendicular to line t, which statements must be true of the two lines? Check all that apply.
artcher [175]
The basis to respond this question are:

1) Perpedicular lines form a 90° angle between them.

2) The product of the slopes of two any perpendicular lines is - 1.

So, from that basic knowledge you can analyze each option:

<span>a.Lines s and t have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

TRUE. Tha comes the number 2 basic condition for the perpendicular lines.

slope_1 * slope_2 = - 1 => slope_1 = - 1 / slope_2, which is what opposite reciprocals means.

b.Lines s and t have the same slope.

FALSE. We have already stated the the slopes are opposite reciprocals.

c.The product of the slopes of s and t is equal to -1

TRUE: that is one of the basic statements that you need to know and handle.

d.The lines have the same steepness.

FALSE: the slope is a measure of steepness, so they have different steepness.

e.The lines have different y intercepts.

FALSE: the y intercepts may be equal or different. For example y = x + 2 and y = -x + 2 are perpendicular and both have the same y intercept, 2.

f.The lines never intersect.

FALSE: perpendicular lines always intersept (in a 90° angle).

g.The intersection of s and t forms right angle.

TRUE: right angle = 90°.

h.If the slope of s is 6, the slope of t is -6

FALSE. - 6 is not the opposite reciprocal of 6. The opposite reciprocal of 6 is - 1/6.

So, the right choices are a, c and g.

Recipe ingredients remain in a constant ratio no matter how many servings are prepared. Which table shows a possible
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Table N 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx

<em>Verify the table 4</em>

For x=1, y=2

so

y/x=2/1=2

For x=2, y=4

so

y/x=4/2=2

For x=3, y=6

so

y/x=6/3=2

therefore

The constant of proportionality k is equal to 2 and the equation is equal to

y=2x

The table 4 represent a direct variation, therefore is a possible ratio table for ingredients X and Y

PLEASE HELP! For a concert 5,000 tickets were sold, and the proceeds were $72,000. Tickets for children 16 and younger were $10,
patriot [66]
A: the first answer is the best option

if there is a total of 5000 tickets, and we know there were adults, children, and seniors, then the equation:
c + a + s = 5000 is correct

if we are using c, a, and s as variables for how many children, adults, and seniors were in attendance, then by matching the corresponding price, we should have the equation:
$72000= 10c + 20a + 15s

lastly, if we know the amnt of children in attendance was 3x more than the amnt of seniors, the equation:
3s = c is best because by multiplying the number of seniors in attendance by 3, you will get 3x more children than seniors

hope this helps, and is correct :)!
