The process to show that if 16 people are seated in a row of 20 chairs, then some group of 4 consecutive chairs must be occupied is shown below.

We prove this using the Pigeonhole Principle, which states that if n items are placed into m containers, and n > m, then at least one container must contain more than one item.

Let us consider the 16 people seated in a row of 20 chairs. Each person occupies one chair, so there are 20 - 16 = 4 empty chairs in the row.

We assume that empty chairs as containers, and people as items that need to be placed into containers.

Since there are more items (people) than containers (empty chairs), there must be at least one group of 2 or more consecutive empty chairs.

Now, let's consider the complement of this statement: Suppose there are no groups of 4 consecutive chairs that are occupied. Then, each group of 4 consecutive chairs contains at most 3 people.

We partition the row of chairs into groups of 4 consecutive chairs.

So, there are 20 - 3 = 17 such groups. By the statement above, each of these groups contains at most 3 people. Therefore, the total number of people seated in the row is at most 17×3 = 51.

But, we know that there are actually 16 people seated in the row. This is a contradiction, since 51 < 16. Therefore, our assumption that there are no groups of 4 consecutive chairs that are occupied must be false, and we have proved that some group of 4 consecutive chairs must be occupied.

The probability that the person chosen is a woman is 0.51.

The probability that the person chosen favors pink or purple is 0.67.

The probability that a person that favors turquoise is a man is 0.66.

Probability is the odds that a random event would occur. The odds that the event occurs has a probability value that lies between 0 and 1. The more likely it is that the event would happen, the closer the probability value would be to 1.

The probability that the person chosen is a woman = number of women / total number of people = 152 / 300 =  0.51.

The probability that the person chosen favors pink or purple = (number of people who favor pink / total number of people) + (total number of people that favor purple / total number of people) = (50 /300) + (50 / 300) =  0.67.

As a result, the probability of a 45-54-year-old motorist becoming involved in an accident is 5.38%, rounded to two decimal places.

Probabilistic theory is a branch of mathematics that calculates the likelihood of an event or proposition occurring or being true. A risk is a number between 0 and 1, with 1 indicating certainty and a probability of around 0 indicating how probable an event appears to be to occur. Probability is a mathematical term for the likelihood or likelihood that a certain event will occur. Probabilities can also be expressed as numbers ranging from 0 to 1 or as percentages ranging from 0% to 100%. In relation to all other outcomes, the ratio of occurrences among equally likely alternatives that result in a certain event.

To determine the likelihood that a driver aged 45-54 was involved in an accident, divide the number of drivers in that age group who were engaged in an accident by the total number of drivers in that age group:

Probability = Number of 45-54-year-old drivers involved in an accident / Total number of 45-54-year-old drivers

We can observe that 7 drivers aged 45 to 54 were engaged in an accident, with a total of 130 drivers in that age group:

The probability is 7/130 = 0.0538.

To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100:

Probability = 0.0538 * 100 = 5.38 percent

As a result, the likelihood of a 45-54-year-old motorist becoming involved in an accident is 5.38%, rounded to two decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before tax and before tip: $74

Tax is 5%.

5% of $74 = 0.05 × $74 = $3.70

Cost including tax (but not tip): $74 + $3.70 = $77.70

After tax but before tip: $77.70

Tip is 10%.

10% of $77.70 = 0.1 × $77.70 = $7.77

C) 60º, 60º, 120º, 120º

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the sum of all the angles in a rectangle is 360 degrees, whether it's irregular or not.

Given: x + 2x + 2x + x = 360

Calculate the linear equation, to find x.

x + 2x + 2x + x = 360

3x + 3x = 360

6x = 360  (Divide both sides by 6)

x = 60 degrees.

Then you can calculate the polygons.

x + 2x + 2x + x

For the first x, = 60.

Then for 2x, 60 * 2 = 120.

Then for 2x again, = 120.

Finally for the last x, = 60.

Therefore, the answer is C) 60º, 60º, 120º, 120º.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of waiting at least 26 minutes is 0.316. The average waiting time is 19 minutes.

Step 1:

The probability of waiting at least 26 minutes can be calculated by finding the area under the probability density function from 26 to 38:

P(waiting at least 26 minutes) = ∫26^38 (1/38) dt = [t/38] from 26 to 38

= (38/38) - (26/38) = 12/38 = 0.316

So the probability of waiting at least 26 minutes is 0.316 or approximately 0.316 rounded to 3 decimal places.

Step 2:

The average waiting time can be calculated by finding the expected value of the probability density function:

E(waiting time) = ∫0³⁸ t f(t) dt = ∫0³⁸ (t/38) dt

= [(t²)/(238)] from 0 to 38

= (38²)/(238) = 19

Therefore, the average waiting time is 19 minutes.

Thus,

Area of the triangle = 1/2 × 16.4 × 5.5

Area of the triangle = 45.1 cm²

Calculating the area of the rectangle

Area of rectangle = Length × Width

Thus,  

Area of the rectangle = 16.4 × 7

Area of the rectangle = 114.8 cm²

Therefore,

The area of the composite figure = 45.1 cm² + 114.8 cm²

The area of the composite figure = 159.9 cm²

The volume of the composite figure is 837.33 cubic units.

The area or capacity of a cone is determined by its volume. A cone's circular base tapers from a flat base to a point known as the apex or vertex in three dimensions. A cone is made up of a collection of line segments, half-lines, or lines that link the apex—the common point—to each point on the base, which is on a plane without the apex. A cone may be thought of as a collection of irregularly shaped circular discs placed on top of one another with the ratio of their radii remaining constant.

The volume of any composite figure is the addition of the volume of all the shapes present in the figure.

Here, the composite solid is made of 2 cones and a cylinder.

The volume of cone is:

V = 1/3(πr²h)

For cone with height 12 and r= 4:

V = 1/3(π)(4)²(12)

V = 200.96 cubic units.

For cone with h = 8 and r = 4:

V = 1/3(π)(4)²(8)

V = 133.97

The volume of cylinder is:

V = πr²h

V = (3.14)(4)²(10)

V = 502.4 cubic units.

The volume of the composite solid is:

Total volume = 200.96 + 133.97 + 502.4

Total volume = 837.33 cubic units.

Hence, the volume of the composite figure is 837.33 cubic units.

The length of the top of the bookcase should be approximately 25 inches to display the soap carving collection with an area of 300 in².

To find the length of the top of the bookcase (which we'll call "b"), we need to know the area of the collection of soap carvings and the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

We're given the area of the soap carving collection (300 square inches), and we know that the soap carvings will be displayed on top of the bookcase, which is a rectangle.

Let's assume that the width of the bookcase is 1 unit (we can choose any unit we want, as long as we're consistent). Then we can write:

300 = b x 1

Simplifying this equation, we get:

b = 300/1

b = 300

So the length of the top of the bookcase should be 300 inches. However, this assumes that the width of the bookcase is only 1 inch, which is quite narrow.

If we assume a more reasonable width of, say, 12 inches, then we can write:

300 = b x 12

Simplifying this equation, we get:

b = 300/12

b = 25

So the length of the top of the bookcase should be 25 inches (if the width of the bookcase is 12 inches).

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know what condition is sufficient to show ∆ABC ~ ∆QPR, given  three sides and 2 angles in ∆ABC, and 2 sides in ∆QPR.

Similarity can be shown if all three sides are proportional, or if two angles are congruent.

The offered answer choices only list one angle, so none of those will work. The answer choice that makes the third side of ∆QPR be in the same proportion as the corresponding side of ∆ABC is the condition of interest.

  C. RP = 4.5

Additional comment

The side ratios in the two triangles are ...

  AB : BC : CA = 10 : 9 : 6

  QP : PR : RQ = 5 : PR : 3

For these ratios to be the same, PR must be half of BC, just as the other segments in ∆QPR are half their counterparts in ∆ABC.

The given statements are true or false are shown below, about linear system has n variables and m equations, then the augmented matrix has n rows.

First, let's write how A and C look like.

A = [C|b], where b is the constant matrix.

(a) False.

Example

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&2\\0&1&3\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

We can see that z = t and so we have infinitely many solutions but there's no row of zeros.

(b) False.

Example

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0&0\1&1&0&0\\\end{array}\right][/tex]

Here; x1 = 1 and x2 = 1 is a unique solution and we have a row of zeros.

(c) True.

In the row-echelon form, the last row is either a row of zeros or a row that contains a leading 1. If the row has a leading 1, then there is a solution. Since we assume there is no solution, then the row must be a row of zeros.

(d) False.

Example

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&3\\0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

Here; x₁ = 1 − 3t and x2 = t. Thus, the system is consistent.

(e) True.

Suppose we have a typical equation in a system

а1x1 + A2X2 + ··· + anxn = b

Now, if b≠0 and x1 = x2 = ··· = x₂ = 0, then the system is Xn inconsistent. But, if b = 0, then we have a solution.

(f) False.

Example

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2&0&0\end{array}\right][/tex]

If a = 0, then it's consistent(infinitely many solutions) but if a 0, then it's inconsistent.

(g) Ture.

Since the rank would be at most 3 and this will lead to a free variable (4 columns in C and the rank is 3, so there is at leat 1 free variable). Thus, the system has more thatn one solution.

(h) True.

Because the rank is the number of leading 1's lying in different rows and A has 3 rows. Thus, the rank ≤ 3.

(i) False.

Because we could have a row of zeros in C and a leading 1 in A. In other words, a31 = a32 = A33 = A34 = 0 and c3 1. This makes the system inconsistent.

(j) True.

If the rank of C = 3, then there will be a free variable and this means the system is consistent.

There are two main requirements for a discrete probability distribution,

The probabilities assigned to each possible outcome must be between 0 and 1 inclusive. That is, the probability of each outcome must be a non-negative number, and the sum of probabilities of all possible outcomes must be equal to 1.

Each possible outcome must be mutually exclusive. That is, only one of the possible outcomes can occur on any given trial of the random experiment.

To rewrite a number with a radical in the denominator without the radical, we can use the conjugate of the denominator. The conjugate of a binomial expression a + b is a - b, and the conjugate of a - b is a + b.

Suppose we have a number with a radical in the denominator, such as 1/√2. To rewrite this without the radical, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is

√2: 1/√2 = (1/√2) * (√2/√2) = √2/2

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = BC = CD = AD (Because all sides of a rhombus are equal)

Let's consider the triangle DBC:

BC = DC => ∠DBC = 36°

The angle DCB is equal to:

180° - 36*2 = 180° - 72° = 108°

In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.

Then the angle DAB = DCB = 108°

Also, we know that the diagonals of a rhombus are the bisectors of the angles from which they come.

So, the angle DAE = EAB = 108° / 2 = 54°

Descriptive statistics involves the use of measures such as the mean, median, mode, and range, as well as graphical representations of the data, such as histograms, box plots, and scatter plots.

The mean is the average of a set of data and is useful for summarizing and interpreting data. For example, when I am studying for a test, I often use the mean of my practice test scores to understand my overall performance.

The median is the middle value of a set of data and is useful for understanding the spread of the data.
