<span>The likelihood of both selected students being sophomores is 6/20, which simplifies to 3/10.
The expression for the probability that both chosen students are sophomores is (6c1) (5c1) /(20c2)

Answer: \frac{6_C_2}{20_C_2}

Detailed explanation:

The total number of sophomores is 6.

There are 14 freshmen.

This gives a total number of individuals as 6 + 14 = 20.

Therefore, if two individuals are selected, the probability that both of them are sophomores is:

P = Total combinations of 2 individuals from the group of 6 sophomores / total individuals

P = \frac{6_C_2}{20_C_2}, which is the expression needed.

Note: we can calculate the value of P further as follows,

⇒P= \frac{6!/4!2!}{20!/18!2!}

⇒P=\frac{30/2}{10\times 19}

⇒P=\frac{15}{190}

Inessa [12570]
The formula to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius is:

Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9

C(76.1) = (76.1 - 32) x 5/9
= (44.1) x 5/9
= 24.5

Hence, 76.1°F is equal to 24.5°C.

The question clearly seeks the highest values from both functions, meaning the vertices of each.

<span>The graph depicting the path of Ed’s football indicates the vertex's coordinates (the peak of the graph).

Specifically,

(h,k) = (1.5, 7.5)

Where (h,k) represents the vertex's location.

Conversely,<span>the trajectory of Steve's football is defined by the equation:

Where:

a = -2</span>
b = 5

Consequently,

x = - 5 ÷ - 4

x = 5 / 4




x = 1.25
Now substituting this x-value back into the main equation to determine y.
y = - 2x² + 5x + 4

y = - 2(1.25)² + 5(1.25) + 4

y = - 3.125 + 6.25 + 4


y = 7.125


Thus, the vertex (h,k) = (1.25, 7.125)
As observed from the calculations

Two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. What is the value of x ?
tester [12383]

Answer:

Angle x = angle 115°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: We have two parallel lines intersected by a transversal.

To find: The value of x.

Solution: Since two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, corresponding angles, which are a pair lying on the same side of the transversal—one being on the interior and the other on the exterior—are equal.

Thus, angle x = angle 115, being corresponding angles.

Therefore, angle x = angle 115.
