Answer:
14/20 or .7 or 70%
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Number of cards: 20
Number of Red cards: 6
The leftover cards: 20 -6 = 14
The probability of not getting a red = 14/20
14/20 as a decimal = 14/20 = 70/100 = .7
14/20 as a percent = 14/20 = 70/100 = 70%

Answer:
1.
d. (-14) + (-8)
2.
a. (-14) + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(-14) - 8 is equal to (-14) + (-8) because we still add two negative values so the result wouldn't change.
(-14) - (-8) is equal to (-14) + 8 because there's two negative sign in front of 8 and two negative values multiplied makes a positive result.
Answer:
1. D
2. A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. It asks you what expression has the same value as (-14)-8. All you need to do is find other equations that have the same value as that. So the equation is -14-8. IF a negative is outside a parenthesis with a positive number inside like -(+5), it is going to be -5. If it's both negative: -(-5), it will be +5. If it is both positive: +(+5), it is going to be +5.
IMPORTANT!
- and + = -
- and - = +
+ and + = +
What we are looking for: -14-8
So choice A is (-14)+8 which is simplified to -14+8. So, this one isn't right.
Choice B: 14-(-8)= 14+8. So, it's incorrect.
Choice C: 14+(-8)= 14-8. Again, it's not -14-8 so it's not right.
Choice D: (-14)+(-8)= -14-8. This equation matches the one we are looking for! So it's correct!
2. Same thing as number 1. Let's simplify the equation it wants us to find first.
(-14)-(-8)= -14+8
So -14+8 is what we are looking for.
Choice A: (-14)+8= -14+8. It matches! So it is correct. Let's look at the other options anyway.
Choice B: 14-(-8)= 14+8. Nope. Not right.
Choice C: 14+(-8)= 14-8 because - always beats +. So, this one is also incorrect.
Choice D: (-14)+(-8)= -14-8. Oops, this is also wrong. So choice A is the right answer.
Keep in mind, when you start getting questions like this with numbers inside the parenthesis as well, you want to remember the same rules for positive and negative, but also multiply the numbers together:
(When there is a number outside and inside a parentheses, multiply them.)
2(5)=10, CORRECT! 2+(5) is not 2 times 5. It's whatever is closest to the parentheses, in this case being the positive sign. So + and 5 is just 5!
IMPORTANT!
-2(-5)= - and - is positive, so positive (2 times 5). Positive 10.
-2(+5)= - and + is negative, so negative (2 times 5). Negative 10.
+2(+5)= + and + is positive, so positive (2 times 5). Positive 10.

Answer:
b = 9.5 , c = 15Step-by-step explanation:
For b
To find side b we use the sine rule
[tex] \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(A) } = \frac{ |b| }{ \sin(B) } [/tex]a = 7
A = 23°
B = 32°
b = ?
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
[tex] \frac{7}{ \sin(23) } = \frac{ |b| }{ \sin(32) } [/tex][tex] |b| \sin(23) = 7 \sin(32) [/tex]Divide both sides by sin 23°
[tex] |b| = \frac{7 \sin(32) }{ \sin(23) } [/tex]b = 9.493573
b = 9.5 to the nearest tenthFor cTo find side c we use sine rule
[tex] \frac{ |a| }{ \sin(A) } = \frac{ |c| }{ \sin(C) } [/tex]C = 125°
So we have
[tex] \frac{7}{ \sin(23) } = \frac{ |c| }{ \sin(125) } [/tex][tex] |c| \sin(23) = 7 \sin(125) [/tex]Divide both sides by sin 23°
[tex] |c| = \frac{7 \sin(125) }{ \sin(23) } [/tex]c = 14.67521
c = 15.0 to the nearest tenthHope this helps you
Gina, Sam, and Robby all rented movies from the same video store. They each rented some dramas, comedies, and documentaries. Gina rented 11 movies total. Sam rented twice as many dramas, three times as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina. He rented 27 movies total. If Robby rented 19 movies total with the same number of dramas, twice as many comedies, and twice as many documentaries as Gina, how many movies of each type did Gina rent?
Hi there! :)
Answer:
Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, we will need to set up a system of equations:
Let x = # of dramas, y = # of comedies, and z = # of documentaries:
Write equations to represent each person:
Gina:
x + y + z = 11
Sam:
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
Robby:
x + 2y + 2z = 19
Write the system:
x + y + z = 11
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
x + 2y + 2z = 19
Begin by subtracting the third equation from the second:
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
x + 2y + 2z = 19
-----------------------
x + y = 8
If x + y = 8, plug this into the first equation:
(8) + z = 11
z = 11 - 8
z = 3
We found the # of documentaries Gina rented, now we must solve for the other variables:
Subtract the top equation from the third. Substitute in the value of z we solved for:
x + 2y + 2(3) = 19
x + y + (3) = 11
-------------------------
y + 3 = 8
y = 5
Substitute in the values for y and z to solve for x:
x + 5 + 3 = 11
x + 8 = 11
x = 11 - 8
x = 3.
Therefore, Gina rented 3 dramas, 5 comedies, and 3 documentaries.
Answer:
B- x + y + z = 11
2x + 3y + 2z = 27
x + 2y + 2z = 19

Best Buy is currently selling the latest model of the iPad
Pro for $549.99. Since you are an employee there, you
receive a 5% discount. How much will the iPad Pro cost
you if you use your employee discount (before taxes).
Answer:
$522.49
Step-by-step explanation: 549.99*.05=27.50 (discount)
549.99-27.50=$522.49
Answer:
$522.49
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the discount amount. You can do this by multiplying the original cost by the discount amount. A little trick for remembering to multiply instead of divide is to think "five percent of the original amount"
5% = 0.05
549.99 ⋅ 0.05 = 27.4995
That means the discount amount is $27.50
Subtract the discount amount from the original price
$549.99 - $27.50 = $522.49

Answer:
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14
The interquartile range = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Consider the following ordered data. 6 9 9 10 11 11 12 13 14
From the above dataset, the highest value = 14 and the lowest value = 6
The median is the middle number = 11
For Q1, i.e the median of the lower half
we have the ordered data = 6, 9, 9, 10
here , we have to values as the middle number , n order to determine the median, the mean will be the mean average of the two middle numbers.
i.e
median = [tex]\dfrac{9+9}{2}[/tex]
median = [tex]\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]
median = 9
Q3, i.e median of the upper half
we have the ordered data = 11 12 13 14
The same use case is applicable here.
Median = [tex]\dfrac{12+13}{2}[/tex]
Median = [tex]\dfrac{25}{2}[/tex]
Median = 12.5
Low Q1 Median Q3 High
6 9 11 12.5 14
The interquartile range = Q3 - Q1
The interquartile range = 12.5 - 9
The interquartile range = 3.5

Megan has 12 pounds of cheesecake. On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. On Sunday, how many pounds of cheesecake does Megan have left?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First we start with 12 pounds
On Monday, she and her friends eat 4 pounds. So we have 8 now.
On Tuesday, she and her friends eat another 3 pounds. So we gave 5 now.
On Wednesday, her friend Mark gives her some more cheesecake so that she has 3 times as much as she had at the end of Tuesday. 5 * 3 = 15
On Thursday, some of her cheesecake goes bad, so she has the amount that she had at the end of Wednesday, but divided by 5. She had 15 at the end of Wednesday. 15/5 = 3.
On Friday, she gives 3 pounds to her dog. 5 - 3 = 2.
On Saturday, her mom gives her one more pound. 2 + 1 = 3.
On Sunday, she finally has 3 pounds.

Your investment club has only two stocks in its portfolio. $25,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 0.8, and $40,000 is invested in a stock with a beta of 1.7. What is the portfolio's beta? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
The portfolio beta is [tex]\alpha = 1.354[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first investment is [tex]i_1 = \$ 25,000[/tex]
The first beta is [tex]k = 0.8[/tex]
The second investment is [tex]i_2 = \$ 40,000[/tex]
The second beta is [tex]w = 1.7[/tex]
Generally the portfolio beta is mathematically represented as

An evergreen nursery usually sells a certain shrub after 9 years of growth and shaping. The growth rate during those 9 years is approximated by
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3,
where t is the time (in years) and h is the height (in centimeters). The seedlings are 10 centimeters tall when planted (t = 0).
(a) Find the height after t years.
h(t) =
(b) How tall are the shrubs when they are sold?
cm
Answer:
(a) After t years, the height is
18t² + 3t + 10
(b) The shrubs are847 cm tall when they are sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given growth rate
dh/dt = 1.8t + 3
dh = (18t + 3)dt
Integrating this, we have
h = 18t² + 3t + C
When t = 0, h = 10cm
Then
10 = C
So
(a) h = 18t² + 3t + 10
(b) Because they are sold after every 9 years, then at t = 9
h = 18(9)² + 3(9) + 10
= 810 + 27 + 10
= 847 cm
The probability density function for random variable W is given as follows: Let x be the 100pth percentile of W and y be the 100(1 – p)th percentile of W, where 0
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability density function (pdf) is used for continuous random variables. That is why p is between 0 and 1 (the two extremes - 0 and 1 - exclusive).
X = 100pth percentile of W
Y = 100(1-p)th percentile of W
Expressing Y as a function of X;
Y = 100(1-p)th = 100th - 100pth
Recall that 100pth is same as X, so substitute;
Y = 100th - X
where 100th = hundredth percentile of W and X = 100pth percentile of W
A cardboard box without a lid is to be made with a volume of 4 ft 3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard.
Answer:
2ft by 2ft by 1 ftStep-by-step explanation:
Total surface of the cardboard box is expressed as S = 2LW + 2WH + 2LH where L is the length of the box, W is the width and H is the height of the box. Since the cardboard box is without a lid, then the total surface area will be expressed as;
S = lw+2wh+2lh ... 1
Given the volume V = lwh = 4ft³ ... 2
From equation 2;
h = 4/lw
Substituting into r[equation 1;
S = lw + 2w(4/lw)+ 2l(4/lw)
S = lw+8/l+8/w
Differentiating the resulting equation with respect to w and l will give;
dS/dw = l + (-8w⁻²)
dS/dw = l - 8/w²
Similarly,
dS/dl = w + (-8l⁻²)
dS/dw = w - 8/l²
At turning point, ds/dw = 0 and ds/dl = 0
l - 8/w² = 0 and w - 8/l² = 0
l = 8/w² and w =8/l²
l = 8/(8/l² )²
l = 8/(64/I⁴)
l = 8*l⁴/64
l = l⁴/8
8l = l⁴
l³ = 8
l = ∛8
l = 2
Hence the length of the box is 2 feet
Substituting l = 2 into the function l = 8/w² to get the eidth w
2 = 8/w²
1 = 4/w²
w² = 4
w = 2 ft
width of the cardboard is 2 ft
Since Volume = lwh
4 = 2(2)h
4 = 4h
h = 1 ft
Height of the cardboard is 1 ft
The dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard is 2ft by 2ft by 1 ft
Sherina wrote and solved the equation. x minus 56 = 230. x minus 56 minus 56 = 230 minus 56. x = 174. What was Sherina’s error?
Answer:
subtracting 56 instead of adding (or adding wrong)
Step-by-step explanation:
She wrote ...
x - 56 = 230
x - 56 - 56 = 230 -56 . . . . correct application of the addition property*
x = 230 -56 . . . . . . . . . . . . incorrect simplification
Correctly done, the third line would be ...
x -112 = 174
This would have made Sherina realize that the error was in subtracting 56 instead of adding it. The correct solution would be ...
x - 56 + 56 = 230 + 56 . . . using the addition property of equality
x = 286 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . correct simplification on both sides
__
There were two errors:
1) incorrect strategy --- subtracting 56 instead of adding
2) incorrect simplification --- simplifying -56 -56 to zero instead of -112
We don't know whether you want to count the error in thinking as the first error, or the error in execution where the mechanics of addition were incorrectly done.
_____
* The addition property of equality requires the same number be added to both sides of the equation. Sherina did that correctly. However, the number chosen to be added was the opposite of the number that would usefully work toward a solution.
Answer:
D: Sherina should have added 56 to both sides of the equation.

Determine which is the appropriate approach for conducting a hypothesis test. Claim: The mean RDA of sodium is 2400mg. Sample data: n150, 3400, s550. The sample data appear to come from a normally distributed population.
Answer:
Use the student t distribution
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the formula
t = (x - u) ÷(s/√N)
From the information we have in the question:
n = 150
s = 550
x = 3400
u = mean = 2400
= 3400 - 2400÷ 500/√150
= 1000/44.9
= 22.27
At 0.05 significance level, df = 149 so t tabulated will be 1.65.

[tex]f(3.48,96.52) = (3.48)\cdot (96.52)-3.48^{2}[/tex]
[tex]f(3.48,96.52) = 323.779[/tex]
The value of the expression when [tex]m = 3.48[/tex] and [tex]b = 96.52[/tex] is 323.779.
According to the United States Golf Association, the diameter of a golf ball should not be less than 42.67 millimeters. What is the estimate of this value rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter?
Answer:
42.7 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
To the nearest tenth of a mm, 42.67 mm would be 42.7 mm.
After estimate of this value rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter,
⇒ 42.67 ≈ 42.7
We have to given that,
According to the United States Golf Association, the diameter of a golf ball should not be less than 42.67 millimeters.
Hence, After estimate of this value rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter, we get;
⇒ 42.67
As, 7 is grater than 5, so we can add 1 to the tenth place.
⇒ 42.67 ≈ 42.7
Therefore, After estimate of this value rounded to the nearest tenth of a millimeter,
⇒ 42.67 ≈ 42.7

how do you figure out ratios? the problem is 12 quarters to 34 dollars. thanks
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.
so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)
In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.
To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x
24=x
So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.
can you please help ?
Answer:
69
Step-by-step explanation:
The order of operations is PEMDAS; parentheses, exponents, multiplication and division, and finally addition and subtraction.
We know that x is the first row, and if there are 30 spots in the first row, then x=30. Using this information, all we have to do now is plug in 30 for x and solve.
[tex]\frac{5(x)}{2} -6[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5(30)}{2}-6[/tex]
[tex]\frac{150}{2}-6[/tex]
[tex]75-6[/tex]
[tex]69[/tex]
