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]

#4 is 3rd answer , bc there is no such thing as xy together

Step-by-step explanation:

1. f(x) = 6x - 14

Slope is the coefficient of x

Slope = 6

2. f (x) =6x+ 9 +x

f(x) = 7x +9

Slope = 7

3. The last option because it is not a line.

4. The third option. x and y do not get multiplied in linear equations.

5. The last option.

the first one is y=x

the second one is y =-x

the third one is y=0x - 2

the last one is wrong because if x is - 1 or - 2 twice, it should still give the same vue for y.

I hope this helps.

solve for missing angle

Answers

Answer:

Angle 1 = 88 degrees

Angle 2 = 42 degrees

Angle 3 = 113 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 2 is a vertical angle to the angle whose measure is 42 degrees. Therefore, they are congruent. (Angle 2 = 42 degrees)

The Interior Angle Sum states that the sum of all the angles inside of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees.

180- (50+42)

180-92

Angle 1 = 88 degrees

180- (42+25)

180-67

Angle 3 = 113 degrees

There is a vendor at a carnival selling bags of cotton candy. Each bag of cotton candy has the same cost. She starts each day with a certain amount of money to give change when necessary. After she sells a total of 12 bags, she has $128. After she sells a total of 20 bags, she has $160.

How much does the vendor charge per bag of cotton candy?

Answers

Answer:

The cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let, the vendor has [tex]x[/tex] dollar at the starting of each day.

Let, the cost of each cotton candy bag is [tex]y[/tex].

Now when she sells a total of 12 bags, she has $128.

[tex]x+12y=128[/tex]  .....(1)

After she sells a total of 20 bags, she has $160.

[tex]x+20y=160[/tex]  ....(2)

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

[tex](x+20y)-(x+12y)=160-128[/tex]

[tex]8y=32[/tex]

[tex]y=4[/tex]

Hence, the cost of each cotton candy bag is $4.

Which one of the following does not describe Aaron Burr?


made unwise decisions

a brilliant politician

Answers

Answer:

Aaron Burr wasn't a brilliant politician.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron Burr was an American politician and the third Vice President of the United States from 1801 to 1805. In 1800, he ran for the Democratic-Republicans with Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was supposed to be president and Burr vice president, but the then presidential election rules gave Jefferson and Burr equal votes in the Electoral College, and the election was ultimately decided in the House of Representatives. There, it were Jefferson and Burr's political rivals, the Federalists, who made the difference. Alexander Hamilton, the leader of the Federalists, eventually urged his party to back Jefferson, which helped make Hamilton and Burr deadly rivals. Burr had to settle for vice president under Jefferson.

On July 11, 1804, Burr challenged Hamilton to a duel in which Burr would fire the deadly shot. Burr was charged with murder in two states, but never prosecuted. After a short flight south, Burr returned to Washington to serve his term as vice president.  

After his term, Burr was suspected of involvement in a plot to create a separate republic in the then Southwestern US, headed by himself. For this he was arrested in 1807. He was tried for treason but was acquitted. After a stay abroad, Burr returned to New York in 1812 and resumed his career as a lawyer. He died in 1836 at the age of eighty and was buried in Princeton, New Jersey.

5x + 2(11-1) = 30
Solve the equation/Explain each step

Answers

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

the picture above shows how to go through the equation. I used PEMDAS

Answer:

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(11-1) = 30

First, solve the ones inside the bracket:

11 - 1 = 10

Next, multiply the number inside the bracket by the number next to bracket:

2 × 10 = 20

The equation will now be:

5x + 20 = 30

Since 5x and 20 are not like terms, carry +20 over to the other side making it 30 - 20:

5x = 30 - 20

5x = 10

Now, divide both sides by the coefficient of x (5):

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

The answer to the equation is 2.
