GRADES On her first four quizzes, Rachael has earned scores of 21, 24, 23, and 17 points. What score must Rachael

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:
20

Explanation:
For the mean to be 21, the total of the 5 numbers must be 21*5= 105

To find what the final quiz score must be, we need to subtract the first 4 scores from 105. 105- 21- 24- 23- 17= 20

We can check this answer by finding the median of the 5 numbers now (17,20,21,24,23). The new median is 21 which means the final quiz score must be 20!

Hope this helped! :)

Explain how solving $2x<-8$ is different from solving $-2x<8$ .

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.

A box of Georgia peaches has 3 bad and 12 good peaches. (a) If you make a peach cobbler of 12 peaches randomly selected from the

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a) 0.21% probability that there are no bad peaches in the peach cobbler.

b) 99.79% probability of having at least 1 bad peach in the peach cobbler

c) 7.91% probability of having exactly 2 bad peaches in the peach cobbler.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the peaches are chosen is not important. So the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

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

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

(a) If you make a peach cobbler of 12 peaches randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that there are no bad peaches in the peach cobbler?

Desired outcomes:

12 good peaches, from a set of 12. So

$D = C_{12,12} = \frac{12!}{12!(12 - 12)!} = 1$
