According to the United States Census Bureau. Just about 5 1.5% of the adults in America are women. What would you say is the probability that the next adult you run into is female? What's the probability of that person being male?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]P(F) = 0.515[/tex]

[tex]P(M) = 0.485[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Female = 51.5\%[/tex]

Solving (a): Probability of running into a female

To do this, we simply convert the given proportion to decimal

[tex]P(F) = 51.5\%[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]P(F) = \frac{51.5}{100}[/tex]

[tex]P(F) = 0.515[/tex]

Solving (b): Probability of running into a male

Represent this with [tex]P(M)[/tex]

To solve this, we apply the concept of probability complement which states that:

[tex]p + q = 1[/tex]

In this case:

[tex]P(F) + P(M) = 1[/tex]

Substitute 0.515 for P(F)

[tex]0.515 + P(M) = 1[/tex]

Subtract 0.515 from both sides

[tex]0.515-0.515 + P(M) = 1 - 0.515[/tex]

[tex]P(M) = 1 - 0.515[/tex]

[tex]P(M) = 0.485[/tex]

55% of the cookies Joel baked had chocolate chips. If Joel baked 77 cookies with chocolate chips, how many cookies did he bake?

Answers

Answer:

140 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question all we have to do is divide 77 by 0.55

Why 0.55 because 0.55 is the decimal version of 55%

once we divide 77 by 0.55 that will give us our answer of 140 cookies.

Now to check our answer:

If Joel made 140 cookies and 77 of those cookies are chocolate chip that would leave us with 63 cookies without chocolate chips. If we estimate our answer then 63 cookies would make total sense since we know that 55% = 77

then the other 45% would have to equal around 60-70 cookies

So, I need to find out, how long one of the side lengths of the orange square is. the square is in the semicircle. you do not have any numbers given, and should use just letters.
thanks in Advance​

Answers

Answer:

Assuming the square and the semicircle aren't merged somehow, and we need to calculate their full area, we should take into account:

Area of a square:

(Side length)² = 22² = 484 square inches

Area of a circle with a diameter of 22inch:

3'14 · (radius)² = 3'14 · 11² = 379'94 square inches

Since we have half a circle, the total areas to add will be:

1/2 · 379'94 + 484 = 673'97

Answers

Answer:

8.86 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The sine rule shows the relationship between the sides of a triangle and its opposite sides. Sine rule states that given a triangle with side a and opposite angle A, side b and opposite angle B, side c and opposite angle C then:

[tex]\frac{a}{sin(A)} =\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}[/tex]

From the image attached, let AB = x, its opposite angle is 41°. BC = 13.5 cm and its opposite angle is 90°  (right angle). Therefore using sine rule:

[tex]\frac{x}{sin(41)} =\frac{13.5}{sin(90)} \\\\x=sin(41)*\frac{13.5}{sin(90)}\\\\x=8.8568\\\\ x=8.86\ cm\ to\ 3\ s.f[/tex]

x = AB = 8.86 cm

write an equation of a line that is parallel to y=3x-2 and runs through the point (1,6)

Answers

Answer:

y=3x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

If equations of lines are parallel, their slopes are the same. Therefore, we can sub '3' in for the slope value in y=mx+c to get y=3x+c.

Sub in the point:

6=3(1)+c

c=6-3=3

ANS: y=3x+3

Answer:

y = 3x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 6) into the partial equation

6 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 6 - 3 = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of parallel line

A tree has a shadow length of approximately 9 feet. The distance from the tip of the tree to the tip of the shadow is bout 15 feet. How tall is the tree?

Please help!!!!!

Answers

this is a right triangle equation
so a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c^2 is the hypotenuse and the 15 feet

a^2 + 9^2 = 15^2
a^2 + 81 = 225
a^2 = 144

the square root of 144 is 12

the tree is 12 feet tall

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

if you draw the picture in your copybook you will see that there is a right triangle, we have the Pythagorean theorem i.e c=√a²+b²

15=√9²+x². the trees tall=X

15²=9²+x²

x²= 144

X= 12

Her actual height is _____ inches.
70

66.5

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: 19, because all you´re doing for mark is dividing his actual height from the profile picture.

Marks sister: 66.5, because you will take her height (3.5) and you will put x over 3.5 in fraction form. Then you will take marks profile picture height, and put it in fraction form (76 over 4) then you will cross multiply 3.5 and 76 which will give you 266. Then you´ll divide 266 by 4 which would give you 66.5

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{8}{8+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x-3}{x}[/tex] , that is

[tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x-3}{x}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

12(x - 3) = 8x

12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )

4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 9
