Answer:
(A) It should choose High school Z for the most consistent attendance among its students.
(B) It should choose High school W with the highest average attendance.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the data for attendance in the table below, where Low represents the fewest days attended and High represents the most days attended for a single student.
School Hight School W High School X High School Z
Low 108 112 130
High 180 180 180
Range 72 68 50
Mean 169 160 162
Median 150 124 151
IQR 47.5 49.5 39.5
S.D. (σ) 29.5 32.4 27.5
(A) It is stated that the school district wants to award the school that has the most consistent attendance among its students.
Now, to check which high school should it choose; we will look for the standard deviation (σ) of each of the three schools because consistency is measured through standard deviation and the school with the lowest standard deviation means that it has the most consistent attendance among its students.
So, after looking at the standard deviation of all the three schools; the High School Z has the lowest standard deviation of 27.5.
This means that it should choose High school Z.
(B) It is stated that the school district wants to award the school with the highest average attendance.
Now, to check which high school should it choose; we will look for the Mean of each of the three schools because average is measured through mean of the data, and the school with the highest mean means that it has the highest average attendance.
So, after looking at the Mean of all the three schools; the High School W has the highest average of 169.
This means that it should choose High school W with the highest average attendance.

-1.68j+1.24=13 need help thanks
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
-1.68j+1.24=13
-1.68j=13-1.24
-1.68j=11.76
j=11.76/-1.68
j=-7
Hi there! Hopefully this helps!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: j = -7
You can also rewrite the equation(replace "j" with the answer):
-1.68(-7) + 1.24 = 13.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How I solved it:
-1.68j + 1.24 = 13.
We subtract 1.24 from both sides.
-1.68j = 13 - 1.24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-1.68j = 13 - 1.24
We subtract 1.24 from 13 to get 11.76.
-1.68j = 11.76
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-1.68j = 11.76
We then divide both sides by -1.68.
j = [tex]\frac{11.76}{-1.68}[/tex]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Expand [tex]\frac{11.76}{-1.68}[/tex] ≈ -7 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 100.
j = [tex]\frac{1176}{-168}[/tex]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Divide 1176 by -168 to get -7.

Four letters are selected at random with replacement from the word MATHCOUNTS. What is the probability that the letters in the order they are selected will form the word MATH?
So "MATHCOUNTS" has 10 letters.
And "MATH" has 4 letters.
So the probability of you getting the letters "M" "A" "T" "H" is 4/10 or 2/5.
But it has to be in order...
There are 32 ways you can arrange the 4 letters. There is only 1 way you can write "MATH"
So 1/32 probability of 2/5 is 2/160 or 1/80
The probability of getting the word MATH is 1/80
What is Probability ?The study of likeliness of an event to happen is probability .
It is given that
Total letters in MATHCOUNTS : 10 letters.
Total chances of getting letter M , A , T , H is 4
Probability of getting the letters M , A , T , H is 4/10
= 2 /5
The probability of getting the word MATH is 1
And the total number of ways the letters can be arranged is 2⁴
= 32
The probability of getting the word MATH is
= 1 /32 * 2 /5
=1/80
Therefore , The probability of getting the word MATH is 1/80

Complete the equation of the line through (3,-1) and (4,7). Use exact numbers. What does "y" equal?
Answer:
lets start with finding the slope
m=7-(-1)/4-3
m=8
now we can choose either of the 2 points given and the slope and plug that into the point slope form
y-7=8(x-4)
y-7=8x-32
y=8x-25
and that is your equation
Answer:
y = 8x - 25
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is y = mx + b
To find the slope use y2-y1/x2-x1
When you plug it in it will be 7 + 1/4 - 3 (8)
Now it is y = 8x + b
Lastly you need to plug in a coordinate to the equation to find b
7 = 8(4) + b (-25)

Answer:
C. 27 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
First, add all of the numbers together
15+19+46
That would be 80.
Then, once you have the numbers added, divide the number you by how many numbers there are.
80 divided by 3 = 26.7 (rounded)
Now that you have the answer 26.7, that tells you that the answer is 27 pages.
Answer:
c.27
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to add 46,15, and 19 together which gets you 80. Then you divide it by 3 and you get 26.(something) since its a decimal, you need a whole number. You round to 27 because its the closest. (When finding the mean, you must add the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are (3))

Complete the statements about series A and B.
Series A: 10 + 4 +8/5 + 16/25 + 13/125 + ...
Series B: 1/5 + 3/5 + 9/5 + 27/5 + 81/5 +...
Series (a or b) has an r value of (blank) where 0<|r|<1. So, we can find the sum of the series. The sum of the series is (blank)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two series A and B;
Series A: 10 + 4 +8/5 + 16/25 + 13/125 + ...
Series B: 1/5 + 3/5 + 9/5 + 27/5 + 81/5 +...
Both series are geometric series since they have the same common ratio. Given the geometric series T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄..., the common ratio r is expressed as [tex]\frac{T_2}{T_1} =\frac{T_3}{T_2} =\frac{T_4}{T_3} = r[/tex].
a) For series A, Given T₁ = 10, T₂ = 4, T₃ = 8/5 and T₄ = 13/125
Its common ratio is expressed as [tex]\frac{4}{10} =\frac{8/5}{4} =\frac{13/125}{8/5} = 2/5[/tex]
Hence the common ratio of series A is 2/5
The sum to infinity of the geometric series will be expressed as [tex]s_\infty = \dfrac{a}{1-r}[/tex]
Note that the sum to infifnity is used since the series is tending to infinity.
a is the first term if the series = 10
r - 2/5
On substituting this values into the formula;
[tex]s_\infty = \dfrac{10}{1-2/5} \\\\s_\infty = \dfrac{10}{3/5} \\\\s_\infty = 10* 5/3\\s_\infty = 50/3[/tex]
Hence the sum of the series is 50/3
b) For the series B;
Series B: 1/5 + 3/5 + 9/5 + 27/5 + 81/5 +...
The common ratio of the series is expressed as shown;
[tex]\frac{3/5}{1/5} =\frac{9/5}{3/5}= \frac{27/5}{9/5 } = r\\ r = (3/5 * 5/1) = 9/5*5/3 = 27/5*5/9 = 3[/tex]
Hence its common ratio is 3.
Sun of the series is expressed similarly as:
[tex]s_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r}\\ s_\infty = \frac{1/5}{1-3}\\\\s_\infty = \frac{1/5}{-2}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]s_\infty = 1/5 * -1/2\\s_\infty = -1/10[/tex]
Hence the sum of series B is -1/10

Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see, we made a diagram form the given information in the problem. We are trying to find the measurement of angle R which is our unknown angle represented by the question mark.
in order to solve this problem, we are going to be using tangent. Tangent uses the opposite side and the adjacent side from the given or from the unknown angle measurement.
So, our equation will look like this.
[tex]tanx=\frac{7.6}{8.6}[/tex]
Since, we do not know the measurement of the unknown angle, then are going to use the inverse of tangent.
[tex]x=\frac{7.6}{8.6}(tan^-^1)[/tex]

*PLEASE ANSWER* The volume of this fish tank needs to be doubled.
Answer:
Of course the answer is 2.
It says 'Double'!
The required scale factor is 2 in a manner to double the volume of the fish tanks. Option A is correct.
The figure is shown of the fish tank, a scale factor to be determined that is applied to the dimensions so the volume becomes twice the former volume.
Volume is defined as the ratio of the mass of an object to its density.
The volume of the fish tank = v
Now new the volume of the new fish tank = 2v
Scale factor = New volume/old volume
= 2v/v
= 2
Since the scale factor is 2 the dimension of new fish tank should be doubled to get twice the volume of the old fish tank.

A coefficient is the number placed before the variable. The variable gets multiplied by the coefficient.
The format is not exactly clear with the expression in the question.
Assuming the expression is '8 * 2n', the coefficient would be 2.
'n' is getting multiplied by '2'.
'8' does not have a variable next to it, so it is just a term in the expression.

The factors of 8 (constant term) are
{(1,8), (2,4)}, from which we see that 1+8 = 9, the absolute value of the coefficient of the second term.
Therefore we can group the expression as
m^2 - 9m + 8

then factor each group
= m(m-1) - 8(m-1)
and factor out (m-1)

Later, 45 boys left for a football game. The ratio of girls to boys was then 5 to 1. How many students attended the party?
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g and b represent the number of girls and boys attending, respectively.
After 15 girls left, the ratio of boys to girls was ...
b/(g -15) = 2/1
b = 2g -30 . . . . . multiply by (g-15)
__
After 45 boys left, the ratio of girls to boys was ...
(g -15)/(b -45) = 5/1
g -15 = 5b -225 . . . . . . multiply by (b-45)
g = 5b -210
Using the latter to substitute into the former, we have ...
b = 2(5b -210) -30
450 = 9b . . . . . add 450-b
50 = b . . . . . . 50 boys attended
g = 5(50) -210 = 40 . . . . . 40 girls attended
The number of students who attended the party was 50 +40 = 90.

Check
After 15 girls left, the ratio of boys to girls was 50/25 = 2/1.
After 45 boys left, the ratio of girls to boys was 25/5 = 5/1.
Answer:
let b = original number of boys
let g = original number of girls

The ratio of boys to girls then remaining was 2 to 1.
b%2F%28%28g-15%29%29 = 2%2F1
Cross multiply
b = 2(g-15)
b = 2g - 30

Later, 45 boys left for a football game. The ratio of girls to boys was then 5 to 1.
%28%28g-15%29%29%2F%28%28b-45%29%29 = 5%2F1
cross multiply
g - 15 = 5(b-45)
g - 15 = 5b - 225
g = 5b - 225 + 15
g = 5b - 210
Replace b with (2g-30)
g = 5(2g-30) - 210
g = 10g - 150 - 210
g = 10g - 360
360 = 10g - g
360 = 9g
g = 360/9
g = 40 girls originally
find b
b = 2(40) - 30
b = 50 boys originally
" How many students attended the party?"
40 + 50 = 90 students
