There are 20 children in the cast of a class play, and 8 of the children are boys. Of the boys, 4 have a speaking part in the play, and of the girls, 8
do not have a speaking part in the play. If a child from the cast of the play is chosen at random, what is the probability that the child has a
speaking part?
A: 2/5
B: 1/2
C: 3/5
D: 3/4

Answers

Answer 1
A 2/5 of the students because because 8 out of the 20 students have speaking parts
Answer 2

Taking into account the definition of probability, the correct option is option A.: The probability that the child has a  speaking part is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex].

There are 20 children in the cast of a class play, and 8 of the children are boys. Then,   realizing the difference between the number of children and the number of boys you get that 12 of the children are girls.

On the other side, of the boys, 4 have a speaking part in the play, and of the girls, 8  do not have a speaking part in the play. Then, calculating the difference between the number of girls there are and the number of them that they do not have a speaking part in the play is obtained: 12 girls - 8= 4 girls. So, of the girls, 4  do not have a speaking part in the play.

Therefore, 4 + 4 = 8 of the children have a speaking part.

Probability is the greater or lesser possibility of a certain event occurring. In other words, probability establishes a relationship between the number of favorable events and the total number of possible events. Then, the probability of any event A is defined as the quotient between the number of favorable cases (number of cases in which event A may or may not occur) and the total number of possible cases. This is called Laplace's Law.

[tex]P(A)=\frac{number of favorable cases}{number of possible cases}[/tex]

In this case:

number of favorable cases= 8 of the children have a speaking part.number of possible cases= 20 children

Replacing in the definition of probability:

[tex]P(A)= \frac{8}{20}[/tex]

Simplifying the fraction:

[tex]P(A)= \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Then, the correct option is option A.: The probability that the child has a  speaking part is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex].

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLESST AND A FOLLOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ALL BUT AT LEAST DO SOME PLS ASP!(the pic shows you the same questions)​

Answers

Answers:

7 grams47000 grams18.5 kg8300 g22000 mg0.135 kg

Look at the attached picture

Hope it will help you

Good luck on your assignment....

Answer:

7000 mg = 7 g

18500 g = 18.5 kg

22 g = 22000 mg

4.7 kg = 4700 g

8.3 kg = 8300 g

135000 mg = 135 g

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to use some important conversion rates so I will write them for below

1 Milligram (mg) = 0.001 Grams (g)

1 Gram (g) = 0.001 Kilogram (Kg)

1 Gram (g) = 1000 Milligrams (mg)

1 Kilogram (Kg) = 1000 Grams (g)

Using the above conversion rates we can solve these questions

Question 1

7000 mg = ? g

Using the information at the top 1 Milligram (mg) = 0.001 Grams (g) so,

0.001 × 7000 = 7 grams

Question 2

18500 g = ? kg

Using the information at the top 1 Gram (g) = 0.001 Kilogram (Kg) so,

18500 ÷ 1000 = 18.5 kg

Question 3

22 g = ? mg

Using the information at the top 1 Gram (g) = 1000 Milligrams (mg) so,

22 × 1000 = 22000 mg

Question 4

4.7 kg = ? g

Using the information at the top 1 Kilogram (Kg) = 1000 Grams (g) so,

4.7 × 1000 = 4700 g

Question 5

8.3 kg = ? g

Using the information at the top 1 Kilogram (Kg) = 1000 Grams (g) so,

8.3 × 1000 = 8300 g

Question 6

135000 mg = ? g

Using the information at the top 1 Milligram (mg) = 0.001 Grams (g) so,

0.001 × 135000 = 135 grams

4) The population of the city in the year 2000 was 50000. The population is decreases by 0.95 each year

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Given an equation:

ax² + bx + c = 0

The equation would have imaginary solutions if b² - 4ac is negative. That is:

b² - 4ac < 0

Given an equation: 3x²+2kx+2=0

a) If k = -5

a= 3, b = 2k = 2 × -5 = -10, c= 2

b² - 4ac = (-10)² - 4(3)(2) = 76 > 0

It would not produce imaginary solutions

b) If k = -3

a= 3, b = 2k = 2 × -3 = -6, c= 2

b² - 4ac = (-6)² - 4(3)(2) = 12 > 0

It would not produce imaginary solutions

c) If k = -1

a= 3, b = 2k = 2 × -1 = -2, c= 2

b² - 4ac = (-1)² - 4(3)(2) = -23 < 0

It would produce imaginary solutions

d) If k = 2

a= 3, b = 2k = 2 × 2 = 4, c= 2

b² - 4ac = (4)² - 4(3)(2) = -8 <0

It would  produce imaginary solutions

e) If k = 3

a= 3, b = 2k = 2 × 3 = 6, c= 2

b² - 4ac = (6)² - 4(3)(2) = 12 > 0

It would not produce imaginary solutions

f) If k = -5

a= 3, b = 2k = 2 × 4 = 8, c= 2

b² - 4ac = (8)² - 4(3)(2) = 40 > 0

It would not produce imaginary solutions

2)

A. Distribute 4 to the quantity ( x+1). to get:

1/2 x+12=8+4x+4

B. Add − 8 to each side of the equation. to get:

1/2 x+4=4( x+1)

C. Distribute 12 to the quantity ( x+1). This is not correct

D. Multiply each side of the equation by 2. to get:

x + 24 = 16 + 8(x +1)

F. Add together the 8 and the 4 on the right side of the equation. This is not correct

G. Multiply the left side of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction. This is not correct

3)

[tex]f(x)=x^2-2(r-s)x+(r-s)^2+(r+s)\\f(x)=x^2-2rx+2sx+r^2+s^2-2rs+r+s\\f(x)=x^2+r^2+s^2-2rs-2rx+2sx+r+s=(r-x-s)^2+(r+s)\\f(x)=(r-x-s)^2+(r+s)[/tex]

4) P( x )=50,000 ( 0.95 )^x, where x represents the number of years after the year 2000

At the year 2000, x = 0 therefore

[tex]P(x)=50000(0.95)^x=50000(0.95)^0=50000[/tex]

Since 0.95 is less than 1, it represent a population decay. 0.95 is the common ratio

The population is decreases by 0.95 each year

Step-by-step explanation:

1) first, lets rationalize the denominator by eliminating [tex]1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

so multiply [tex]\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } }[/tex]  with the conjugate, [tex]1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

we multiply with the conjugate (opposite) since we can take the conjugate and the original term in the form of (a+b)(a-b)= a^2-b^2, which would allow us to get rid of the square root:

so

(1+1/[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex])(1-[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex])=(1)^2-([tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex])^2

hence we are left with:

1-1/2= 0.5

0.5 is the denominator:

since conjugate is multiplied to both numerator and denominator:

for the numerator (1)([tex]1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex])

is: 1-[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

hence, [tex]\frac{1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } }{0.5}[/tex]

so[tex]1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }[/tex]

is 0.292893

so

0.292893/0.5= 0.058579

and 2-sqrt(2)= 0.058579

hence they both are equal

a shaded sector of a circle has an area of 4pi and an angle of 40 degrees. What is the perimeter of the sector?

Answers

Answer:

4/9*pi or 1.395

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that area of the circle, that 4 * pi, we can calculate the radius of the circle, knowing that:

A = pi * r ^ 2

replacing:

4 * pi = pi * r ^ 2

r ^ 2 = 4 * pi / pi

r ^ 2 = 4

r = 2

Therefore, knowing the radius, we can calculate the perimeter:

P = 2 * pi * r

replacing:

P = 4 * pi

That is the perimeter of the whole circle, that is to say 360 °, therefore for 40 ° it would be:

4 * pi * 40 ° / 360 ° = 4/9 * pi

That is to say that the perimeter of the sector of 40 ° is 4/9 * pi, if pi is 3.14 it would be:

4/9 * 3.14 = 1.395

[tex]y_{3}-y_{2}=-12-(-9)[/tex]
