Answer:
b = 80 -6n . . . . boys who wear spectacles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the ratio of boys who wear spectacles to those who don't is ...
(4/5) : (1 -4/5) = 4 : 1
If we let b represent the number of boys who wear spectacles, then the number who don't is b/4. Then total number of boys is then b +b/4 = 5b/4. The number of girls in the classroom is this number less than 40.
Let's define a few groups:
boys who wear spectacles: bboys who do not wear spectacles: b/4girls who wear spectacles: (2/3)(40 -5b/4)girls who do not wear spectacles (1/3)(40 -5b/4)Then the total of children who do not wear spectacles is ...
n = b/4 +(1/3)(40 -5b/4)
12n = 3b +(160 -5b) = 160 -2b . . . . multiply by 12
2b = 160 -12n . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 2b-12n
b = 80 -6n . . . . the desired relation, b = boys who wear spectacles

Additional comment
The only values of n that make sense in this context are {8, 10, 12}, corresponding to {0, 15, 30} total girls and {40, 25, 10} total boys.

Step-by-step explanation:
Write an equation for a line containing (–2,8) that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (3,–4)and (–7,1).
Answer and I will give you brainiliest
Answer:
y = 2x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for a line is typically
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line (expressed as y/x ratio describing how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units).
b is the offset of the line in y direction (for x=0).
we have the points (3, -4) and (-7, 1).
to get the slope of the line let's wander from left to right (x direction).
to go from -7 to 3 x changes by 10 units.
at the same time y changes from 1 to -4, so it decreases by 5 units.
so, the slope is -5/10 = -1/2
and the line equation looks like
y = -1/2 x + b
to get b we simply use a point like (3, -4)
-4 = -1/2 × 3 + b
-4 = -3/2 + b
-5/2 = b
so, the full line equation is
y = -1/2 x - 5/2
now, for a perpendicular line the slope exchanges x and y and flips the sign.
in our case this means +2/1 or simply 2.
so, the line equation for the perpendicular line looks like
y = 2x + b
and to get b we use the point we know (-2, 8)
8 = 2×-2 + b
8 = -4 +b
12 = b
so, the full equation for the line is
y = 2x + 12
Answer:
2x-y+12= 0 or y = 2x+12 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
slope of the line joining (3,-4) and (-7,1) is 1-(-4)/-7-3
= -5/10
= - 1/2
slope of the line containing (-2,8) and that is perpendicular to the line containing (3,-4) and (-7,1) = 2
Equation of the line line containing (-2,8) and that is perpendicular to the line containing (3,-4) and (-7,1) is y-8 = 2(x-(-2))
y-8 = 2(x+2)
y- 8 = 2x+4
y=2x+12 (slope- intercept form) or 2x-y+12= 0 (point slope form)
Bronson is ordering a sundae at a restaurant, and the server tells him that he can have up to four toppings: butterscotch sauce, caramel, peanuts, and strawberries. Since he cannot decide how many of the toppings he wants, he tells the server to surprise him. If the server randomly chooses which toppings to add, what is the probability that Bronson gets just butterscotch sauce, peanuts, and strawberries
Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
if zero toppings is an option, then there would be 5 possibilities for toppings
0,1,2,3,or 4
the server randomly chose 3 toppings so that would be one out of 5 or 20%.
(If the server did not have the option to put zero toppings on then there would be only 4 options 1,2,3, or 4 toppings and the correct answer would be one out of 4 or 25%.)
i don’t understand… but thank you if u do answer my question :))
Answer:
7/0
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because if a number is divided by 0 then there is no answer or it is undefined
Think of it like this,
You have 7 apples and wanted to give it to zero friends, is it possible?
Hope this helped :)
Answer:
Second option (7÷0)
Explanation:
Dividing by zero is considered undefined since you can't divide something by nothing. It's like saying you have a pizza and you want to divide it between 7 people but since you're dividing by zero, you're not splitting the pizza between anyone.
Write an equation of the line through each pair of points in slope-intercept form.
a(– 3,–2) and (–3,4)
b(3,2)and (–4,–5)
Answer and I will give you brainiliest
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (– 3, –2) and (–3, 4)
First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plug in these values:
(4 - (-2) / (-3 - (-3))
Simplify the parentheses.
= (4 + 2) / (-3 + 3)
Simplify the fraction.
(6) / (0)
= undefined
If your slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = #.
In this case, the x-coordinate for both points is -3.
Therefore, your equation is x = -3.
b) (3, 2) and (–4, –5)
First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plug in these values:
(-5 - 2) / (-4 - 3)
Simplify the parentheses.
= (-7) / (-7)
Simplify the fraction.
-7/-7
= 1
This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.
y = 1x + b or y = x + b
To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the first point (3, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.
2 = 1(3) + b
To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)
2 = 3 + b
Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.
-1 = b
Plug this into your standard equation.
y = x - 1
This is your equation.
Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-4, -5).
y = 1x - 1
-5 = 1(-4) - 1
-5 = -4 - 1
-5 = -5
Your equation is correct.
Hope this helps!

8 < x < 8.5 is your answer
other sides has to always be less than the hypotenuse
9514 1404 393
Answer:
0.5 < x < 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two shortest sides of a triangle must always exceed the length of the longest side.
If x and 8.0 are the short sides, then ...
x + 8.0 > 8.5
x > 0.5
If 8.0 and 8.5 are the short sides, then ...
8.0 +8.5 > x
16.5 > x
So, for the given triangle to exist, we must have ...
0.5 < x < 16.5
_____
Additional comment
You will notice that the value 0.5 is the difference of the given sides, and 16.5 is their sum. This will always be the case for a problem like this. The third side length always lies between the difference and the sum of the other two sides.

The mean monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment without a doorman in Manhattan is 2630. Assume the standard deviation is$500 . A real estate firm samples 100 apartments. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.a) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $27007?b) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550? c) Find the 25th percentile of the sample mean. d) Would it be unusual if the sample mean were greater than $26457?e) Do you think it would be unusual for an individual to have a rent greater than $2645? Explain. Assume the variable is normally distributed.
Answer:
a) 0.0808 = 8.08% probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $2700.
b) 0.0546 = 5.46% probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550.
c) The 25th percentile of the sample mean is of $2596.
d) |Z| = 0.3 < 2, which means it would not be unusual if the sample mean was greater than $2645.
e) |Z| = 0.3 < 2, which means it would not be unusual if the sample mean was greater than $2645.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
If |Z|>2, the measure X is considered unusual.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The mean monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment without a doorman in Manhattan is $2630. Assume the standard deviation is $500.
This means that [tex]\mu = 2630, \sigma = 500[/tex]
Sample of 100:
This means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{500}{\sqrt{100}} = 50[/tex]
a) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $2700?
This is the 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2700. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2700 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex] has a p-value 0.9192
1 - 0.9192 = 0.0808
0.0808 = 8.08% probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $2700.
b) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 2550 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2450.
X = 2550
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2550 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex] has a p-value 0.0548
X = 2450
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2450 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -3.6[/tex]
[tex]Z = -3.6[/tex] has a p-value 0.0002
0.0548 - 0.0002 = 0.0546.
0.0546 = 5.46% probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550.
c) Find the 25th percentile of the sample mean.
This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]-0.675 = \frac{X - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]X - 2630 = -0.675*50[/tex]
[tex]X = 2596[/tex]
The 25th percentile of the sample mean is of $2596.
Question d and e)
We have to find the z-score when X = 2645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2645 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.3[/tex]
|Z| = 0.3 < 2, which means it would not be unusual if the sample mean was greater than $2645.

here is the equation we currently have solved: y = x + b
now we have to solve for the y-intercept. to do this, we substitute one of the given points into the equation, and solve for b.
let's use (8, 2). in this ordered pair, the 8 is the x, and the 2 is the y.
2 = 8 + b
2 - 8 = b
b = -6

Answer:
0.6826 = 68.26% probability Z will be within one standard deviation of average.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
What is the probability Z will be within one standard deviation of average?
This is the p-value of Z = 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = -1.
Z = 1 has a p-value of 0.8413.
Z = -1 has a p-value of 0.1587.
0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826
0.6826 = 68.26% probability Z will be within one standard deviation of average.

Find an equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points (6,2) and (18,6)
Answer:
y= -3x +40
Step-by-step explanation:
Properties of perpendicular bisector:
• perpendicular to the given line
• cuts through the center of the given line
The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y -intercept.
Let's find the gradient of the given line first.
[tex]\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }[/tex]
Gradient of given line
[tex] = \frac{6 - 2}{18 - 6} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{4}{12} [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.
m(⅓)= -1
m= -1(3)
m= -3
Substitute m= -3 into the equation:
y= -3x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates in which the perpendicular bisector passes through into the equation. Since perpendicular bisectors passes through the center of the segment, we can find the point in which the perpendicular bisector passes through using the mid- point formula.
[tex]\boxed{midpoint = ( \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )}[/tex]
Midpoint
[tex] = ( \frac{6 + 18}{2} , \frac{6 + 2}{2} )[/tex]
[tex] = ( \frac{24}{2} , \frac{8}{2} )[/tex]
[tex] = (12,4)[/tex]
y= -3x +c
when x= 12, y= 4,
4= -3(12) +c
4= -36 +c
c= 4 +36
c= 40
Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -3x +40.

A nut company is determining how to package their new type of party mix. The marketing department is experimenting with different-sized cans for the party mix packaging. The designers use the equation r=Vhπ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯√r=Vhπ to determine the radius of the can for a certain height hh and volume VV. The company decides they want the can to have a volume of 1280πcm31280πcm3. Find the radius of the can if the height is 16cm16cm. Keep your answers in simplified radical form.
Answer:
The radius of the can, in centimeters, is of [tex]4\sqrt{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Radius of the can:
The radius of the can is given by:
[tex]r^2 = \frac{V}{h\pi}[/tex]
In which V is the volume and h is the height.
In this question:
[tex]V = 1280\pi, h = 16[/tex]
Thus
[tex]r^2 = \frac{V}{h\pi}[/tex]
[tex]r^2 = \frac{1280\pi}{16\pi}[/tex]
[tex]r^2 = 80[/tex]
[tex]r = \sqrt{80}[/tex]
[tex]r = \sqrt{5*16}[/tex]
[tex]r = \sqrt{5}\sqrt{16}[/tex]
[tex]r = 4\sqrt{5}[/tex]
The radius of the can, in centimeters, is of [tex]4\sqrt{5}[/tex]
In a certain town, 22% of voters favor the construction of a new hospital. For groups of 21 voters, find the variance for the number who did not favor the new hospital.
a. 1.9 voters
b. 4.6 voters
c. none of the given answers is correct
d. 3.6 voters
e. 13 voters
Answer:
Variance = 3.6 voteres
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of favour voters, P = 0.22
Total number of voters, n = 21
The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction = 1 - P
The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction = 1 - 0.22
The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction, P* = 0.78
Variance = n x p* x (1 - p*)
Variance = 21 x 0.78 x 0.22

Answer:
x ∈ {-35, 0, 35}
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve for x and equate those values to find corresponding y-values. Substituting into the original expressions for x gives the possible x-values.
[tex]x+xy^2=250y\ \Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{250y}{1+y^2}\\\\x-xy^2=-240y\ \Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{-240y}{1-y^2}\\\\\dfrac{250y}{1+y^2}+\dfrac{240y}{1-y^2}=0\\\\\dfrac{25y(1-y^2)+24y(1+y^2)}{(1+y^2)(1-y^2)}=0\\\\y(-y^2+49)=0=y(7-y)(7+y)\ \Rightarrow\ y\in\{-7,0,7\}\\\\x=\dfrac{250(\pm 7)}{1+(\pm7)^2}=\pm35,\quad=\dfrac{250(0)}{1+0^2}=0\\\\\boxed{x\in\{-35,0,35\}}[/tex]

A die is rolled 20 times and the number of twos that come up is tallied. Find the probability of getting the given result. [Binomail Probability] Less than four twos
Answer:
0.5665 = 56.65% probability of less than four twos.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each roll, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a two, or it is not a two. The probability of a roll ending up in a two is independent of any other roll, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
A die is rolled 20 times
This means that [tex]n = 20[/tex]
One out of six sides is 2:
This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{6} = 0.1667[/tex]
Probability of less than four twos:
This is:
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.1667)^{0}.(0.8333)^{20} = 0.0261[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.1667)^{1}.(0.8333)^{19} = 0.1043[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.1667)^{2}.(0.8333)^{18} = 0.1982[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.1667)^{3}.(0.8333)^{17} = 0.2379[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0261 + 0.1043 + 0.1982 + 0.2379 = 0.5665[/tex]
0.5665 = 56.65% probability of less than four twos.
