Suppose that among the 6,000 students at a high school, 1,500 are taking honors courses and 1,800 prefer watching basketball to watching football. If 450 students are both taking honors courses and prefer basketball to football, are the events "taking honors courses" and "preferring basketball" independent? No, because StartFraction 1500 Over 6000 EndFraction not-equals StartFraction 1800 Over 6000 EndFraction Yes, because StartFraction 450 Over 1500 EndFraction not-equals StartFraction 450 Over 1800 EndFraction No, because (1,500)(1,800) ≠ 450. Yes, because (StartFraction 1500 Over 6000 EndFraction) (StartFraction 1800 Over 6000 EndFraction) = StartFraction 450 Over 6000 EndFraction.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

Total students = 6,000

Students taking honors courses = 1,500

Students preferring basketball = 1,800

Students in both = 450

To find:

Whether the two events "taking honors courses" and "preferring basketball" are independent or not?

Solution:

Let as consider the following events.

A : Taking honors courses

B : Preferring basketball

[tex]A\cap B[/tex] : Both

We know that,

[tex]\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

Using this formula, we get

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{1500}{6000}=0.25[/tex]

[tex]P(B)=\dfrac{1800}{6000}=0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(A\cap B)=\dfrac{450}{6000}=0.075[/tex]

Two evens are independent if

[tex]P(E_1\cap E_2)P(E_1)\cdot P(E_2)[/tex]

Now,

[tex]P(A)\cdot P(B)=0.25\times 0.30[/tex]

[tex]P(A)\cdot P(B)=0.075[/tex]

[tex]P(A)\cdot P(B)=P(A\cap B)[/tex]

So, the events A and B are intendent because

[tex](\dfrac{1500}{6000})(\dfrac{1800}{6000})=\dfrac{450}{6000}[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Write an expression to show how much it costs per week to keep the 8 adults x where the number of pounds one adults in a day. Simplify your expression

Answers

Answer:

y = 56x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the amount to keep one adult in a day to be x

Since 7 days = 1 week

Amount it will take to keep one adult for a week will be 7x

one adult = 7x pounds

To get the expression that show how much it costs per week to keep the 8 adults, we will say;

8 adults = y pounds

where y is the required amount

Solving both expressions

one adult = 7x pounds

8 adults = y pounds

Cross multiply

1 * y = 7x * 8

y = 56x

Hence the required expression is y = 56x

what are the slope and y-intercept for the graph of y-3x=-1

Answers

to find the slope, first you have to put the equation in the slope intercept form, which is y=mx + b

to do that, you have y - 3x = -1
you want to get y alone so add 3x to both sides
you’ll get y= 3x -1
so your m (slope) is 3

now your y intercept is always your constant which in this case is -1

answer: slope= 3x
y intercept: -1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of the equation y = mx + b

So the m is the slope and the b is the y-intercept

m/slope= 3 b/y-intercept= -1

To add 4x-2/8 + 3+x/4 first find the least common denominator of 8 and 4

It's 8 so multiply the numerator and denominator of 3+x/4 by 8, you would get:

8x+24/32

Multiply 4x-2/8 by 4, you will get:

16x-8/32

Now you can add 16x-8/32 + 8x+24/32, you would get:

24x+16/32

Now you can start to solve for x

Your new equation is 24x+16/32 = 1/2

To solve for x, first multiply diagonally, then solve like a regular equation.

Multiply 24x+16 by 2 to get 48x+32

Then multiply 32 by 1 to get 32

Your new equation is 48x+32=32

Now subtract 32 by 32 to get 48x=0

Now divide 48 by 0 to get x=0

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram, the sum of angle of the straight line BCD is 180°. Hence;

<BCE+<ECF<90 = 180

<BCE+64+90=180

<BCE+154 = 180

<BCE = 180-154

<BCE = 26°

Next is to get x.

The sum of interior angles <BCE and <BEC is equal to exterior angle <ABE

<BCE + <BEC = <ABE

26+x = 3x

Collect like terms

26 =3x-x

26=2x

x = 26/2

x = 13

Hence the value of x is 13

    (-4-5)/(4-(-2))

    (-9)/(4+2)

    -9/6 or -3/2

Answers

Answer:

f(-6) = 32

f(0) = 2

f(9) = -43

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in this question we are given a function all we have to do is to plug in the values that were indicated in the question and find out what value are we going to get as an output of this function. So we just do the following.....

a)

f(-6) = 2 - 5(-6)

f(-6) = 2 - (-30)

f(-6) = 2 + 30

f(-6) = 32

b)

f(0) = 2 - 5(0)

f(0) = 2 - 0

f(0) = 2

c)

f(9) = 2 - 5(9)

f(9) = 2 - 45

f(9) = -43

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\a=?\\\\b=24\\\\c=10\\\\\\a^2+(24)^2=(10)^2\\\\a^2=(10)^2-(24)^2\\\\a^2=(10-24)(10+24)\\\\a^2=-14(34)[/tex]

if you meant

c=24 and b=10

[tex]a^2+(10)^2=(24)^2\\\\a^2=(24)^2-(10)^2\\\\a^2=(24-10)(24+10)\\\\a^2=(14)(34)\\\\a\approx 21.82[/tex]

  a² = 24² +10² = 576 +100 = 676

  a = √676 = 26 . . . if 'a' is the hypotenuse

__

If 'a' is the long side, then ...

  b² = c² + a²

Answers

Responder:

125 pesos

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado el ingreso total l (v) obtenido de la venta de lápices por la función

Yo (v) = - 2v ^ 2 + 500v

v es el precio de venta de cada lápiz

Para que el ingreso total sea máximo, entonces dI / dv debe ser cero, es decir, dI / dv = 0

dI / dv = -4v + 500

Dado que dI / dv = 0

0 = -4v + 500

4v = 500

Dividir entre 4

4v / 4 = 500/4

v = 125

De ahí que el precio de venta de cada lápiz sea para que el ingreso total sea máximo es de 125 pesos

Answers

Annette sold $580
Barb sold $440

Whixh adds up to the total amount of $1480

Annette sold 580 which is 140 more than barb so 580-140= 440. Barb a carlita combined sold 320 more than Annette. We know Annette sold 580 so 580 +320 = $900 which it the combined total of what barb and carlita sold. We know barb sold 440 so 900-440= 460 which is the total amount that carlita sold.
