Answer:

7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability the student is a senior

P( senior) = number of seniors / total students

= 14 / ( 14+7+4+5)

= 14/30

= 7/15

Answer:

14/30 or 7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = no. of senior students / total no. of students

probability = 14 / (14+7+4+5)

probability = 14/30

This can be simplified to 7/15.

Answer:

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you solve a word problem, our first step is to read and gather the information we find.

"A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"

After reading the question, I am going to highlight or bold the contexts that are important to our problem-solving.

"A line intersects the point (-8,-1) and has a slope of 1/4. What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?"

First, let's understand that slope-intercept equation is in the form of y = mx+b where m = slope and b = y-intercept

After reading the context, what do we know?

a slope of 1/4
a line passes through (-8,-1)
write in slope-intercept form

We finally have the information — our first step is to write our slope-intercept equation.

$\displaystyle \large{y = mx + b}$

We know that m is slope which is 1/4 — substitute in the equation.

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + b}$

We have used the two information which are a slope of 1/4 and slope-intercept equation.

That only leaves to one information which is a line that passes through (-8,-1).

Since the graph has to pass through the point, we substitute x = -8 and y = -1.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1= \frac{1}{4} ( - 8)+ b}$

After using all information, it seems that we are solving for b-term or y-intercept.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1= \frac{1}{1} ( - 2)+ b}$

From above — cross-division.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1= 1( - 2)+ b} \\ \displaystyle \large{ - 1= - 2+ b}$

Add both sides by 2 to isolate b-term.

$\displaystyle \large{ - 1 + 2= - 2 + 2+ b} \\ \displaystyle \large{ 1= b}$

Therefore, the value of b is 1. From the equation:

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + b}$

Substitute b = 1 in the equation.

$\displaystyle \large{y = \frac{1}{4} x + 1}$

And we're done!

uppose you send about 12 text messages a day, and your older sister sends more text messages than you do. Together, you send a t

Kamila [148]

In order to get your answer, take the number of text messages you send each day (12) and subtract it from the number you and your sister send (26). When you get the answer from subtracting both of these numbers, take the answer from your subtraction and add it to the number of text messages that you send a day (12).
