Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/4 is divided by 5 we can think about it as 1/4 is a quarter of a whole and we need to divide that quarter in 5 equal parts.

Story Problem:

Alexa has 5 more days to finish reading the ELA book assigned by her teacher. She still has to read 1/4 of the book. What fraction of the book she should read on each of the 5 days to ensure she will be done in time?

(1/4 ) / 5 = (1/4) *(1/5) = 1 / 20

If Alexa reads 1/20 of the book each day she will finish the book in 5 days.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are called independent, when

$P(B|A)=P(B),$

where $P(B|A)$ is the probability that B occurs given that A has already occurred.

A = randomly selected person is a student

B = randomly selected person prefer "Vikings"

B|A = randomly selected student prefer "Vikings"

Probabilities:

$P(A)=\dfrac{100}{125}=\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8\\ \\P(B|A)=\dfrac{80}{85}=\dfrac{16}{17}\approx 0.94$

Since

$0.80\neq 0.94$

we can state that events are not independent.

4 bells toll together at 9 am. They toll after 7, 8. 11 and 12 seconds respectively. How many times will they toll together agai

Svetach [21]

Answer:

5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to do here is to find the lowest common multiple of 7,8,11 and 12

This is;

1848

Now, let’s calculate the number of seconds in 3 hours

In 1 hour, we have 3600 seconds

In 3 hours, this will be;

3600 * 3 = 10,800 seconds

So, to find the number of times in which all 4 will toll together, we need to know the number of 1848 seconds in 10,800 seconds

Mathematically, that will be;

10,800/1848 = 5.844

Our answer will be 5 times however

This is because the sixth time they would have sounded together would be more than the 3 hours time frame

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: The average length of time that the 25 customers waited before leaving the bank. e. Statistic

The list of times for the 25 customers who left the bank. f.Data

All of the bank's customers d. Population

The 25 customers that the manager observed leave. c. Sample

The length of time a customer waits before leaving the bank. a. Variable.

The average length of time that all customers will wait before leaving the bank a. Parameter

Step-by-step explanation:

A data is a list of observations.

In statistics, a variable is an attribute that defines a person, place, thing, or thought.

A large group that have similar individuals as per the researcher's point of view is known as population, where its subset is known as sample.

The measure of certain characteristic in population is known as parameter, where for sample it is known as statistic.

Which function is graphed below?

hoa [83]

Option B. y = 3 (one-third) Superscript x is the function that is graphed in this question.

<h3>How to solve the problem</h3>

We have exponential functions to be of the form abˣ

This can be written in the form of f(x) = $3\frac{1}{3} ^x$

So it crosses through the point (0, 3).

From the way that the curve passes through the circle, we can see that the it is said to pass through at (0, 3) and approaches y = 0 in quadrant 1

Hence this would put our answer to be y = 3 (one-third) Superscript x
