0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats

Step-by-step explanation:

For each voter, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the voter is a Democrat, or he is not. The probability of the voter being a Democrat is independent of other voters. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

62% of the voters are Democrats

This means that p = 0.62

(a) What is the probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats?

This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{2,2}.(0.62)^{2}.(0.38)^{0} = 0.3844$

0.3844 = 38.44% probability that two independently surveyed voters would both be Democrats

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude

Answer from: Quest

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq and the angle ∠orq are opposite, therefore:

$m\angle opq+m\angle orq=180\°\\\\m\angle opq+ (2x + 16)\°=180\°$

then, $m\angle opq+ (2x + 16)\°=180\°$ can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq

Quadrilateral opqr is inscribed in circle n, as shown below. which of the following could be used to
