Decide whether the function is a polynomial Function. If it is, write the function in standard form.

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 29 students, 7 of them play basketball and 24 of them play baseball. There are 3 students who pl

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $n(A)$ represent students playing basketball, $n(B)$ represent students playing baseball.

Then, $n(A)=7$ , $n(B)=24$

Let $n(S)$ be the total number of students. So, $n(S)=29$ .

Now,

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{7}{29}$

$P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{24}{29}$

3 students play neither of the sport. So, students playing either of the two sports is given as:

$n(A\cup B)=n(S)-3\\n(A\cup B)=29-3=26$

∴ $P(A\cup B)=\frac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}=\frac{26}{29}$

From the probability addition theorem,

$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

Where, $P(A\cap B)$ is the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball.

Plug in all the values and solve for $P(A\cap B)$ . This gives,

$\frac{26}{29}=\frac{7}{29}+\frac{24}{29}+P(A\cap B)\\\\\frac{26}{29}=\frac{7+24}{29}+P(A\cap B)\\\\\frac{26}{29}=\frac{31}{29}+P(A\cap B)\\\\P(A\cap B=\frac{31}{29}-\frac{26}{29}\\\\P(A\cap B=\frac{31-26}{29}=\frac{5}{29}$

Therefore, the probability that a student chosen randomly from the class plays both basketball and baseball is $\frac{5}{29}$

line pass through the line (-3, -7.5)tahila determined that the equation of line n is y=0.5x explain the error tahila made while

Tasya [4]

The equation of the line will be (assuming the y-intercept equal to zero):

y = 2.5*x

<h3>What is Tahila's mistake?</h3>

We know that we have a linear equation of the form:

y = a*x + b

Such that we know that the line passes through (-3, -7.5), notice that the proposed equation is:

y = 0.5*x

If you evaluate that in -3, you get:

y = 0.5*-3 = -1.5

So this line does not pass through (-3, -7.5).

If we assume that b = 0 in the linear equation, then we can find the value of a as:

-7.5 = a*-3

a = 7.5/3 = 2.5

Then the linear equation is:

y = 2.5*x

Which can be used to expand the expression below?

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

5(3x - 6/7)

Distributive Property would work because 5 has to be mutliplied by 3x and -6/7 to rid the parenthesis and also give a final answer for the equation. Any others will lead to a wrong answer.

cybil flips a coin and rolls a fair number cube at the same time. What is the probability that she will toss tails and roll a nu

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a coin and rolling a number cube are both independent events. Independent events do not rely on the outcome of any previous events. This means that whatever you flip on the coin will have no effect on whatever you roll on the number cube and each flip of the coin or roll of the cube has the same probability as the flip or roll before.

The probability of getting tails on a coin toss is: $\frac{1}{2}$

The probability of getting a number less than 3 (so 1 or 2) on a number cube is: $\frac{1}{3}$

Since we are combining these events, we need to multiply the fractions together to get our overall probability:

$\frac{1}{2}$ * $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
