Since I do not have answer choices, I can conclude things that may or may not be an answer choice. Just from the problem, you can tell that Marie lost more weight, because 175 -150 = 25, while 190 - 180 = 10. Indirectly, you can say that she might have worked out more, or changed her diet, although that would merely be an inference. If you have answer choices please let me know and I can answer more. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainliest answer (Not necessarily mine).

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

The data for the student enrollment at a college in Southern California is:

                    Traditional          Accelerated            Total

                  Math-pathway     Math-pathway

Female              1244                       116                   1360

Male                  1054                       54                    1108

Total                  2298                     170                  2468

We want to determine if the probability that a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of whether the student is female. Which of the following pairs of probabilities is not a useful comparison?

a. 1360/2468 and 116/170

b. 170/2468 and 116/1360

c. 1360/2468 and 170/2468

Solution:

If two events <em>A</em> and <em>B</em> are independent then:

P(A|B)=P(A)\\\\\&\\\\P(B|A)=P(B)

In this case we need to determine whether a student enrolled in an accelerated math pathway is independent of the student being a female.

Consider the following probabilities:

P (F|A) = \farc{116}{170}\\\\P(A|F)=\frac{116}{1360}\\\\P(A)=\frac{170}{2468}\\\\P(F)=\frac{1360}{2468}

If the two events are independent then:

P (F|A) = P(F)

&

P (A|F) = P (A)

But what would not be a valid comparison is:

P (A) = P(F)

Thus, the correct option is (c).

The cost price of a box and a pen is Rs 80 The box is sold at 10% profit and the pen is sold at 20% loss. If the selling price o
uysha [10]

Answer:

61.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the box be x. Since the price of the box and the pen is Rs 80, the pen's price can be represented as 80 - x. The box is sold at a ten percent profit, and an added ten percent is equal to 1.1. Therefore, the price the box sells at is 1.1(x). A 20% loss is the same a keeping 80% or multiplying by 0.8. This means the pen sold at 0.8(80 - x). Now, we are given the box went for Rs 28 more than the pen, so we can create an equation:

1.1x = 0.8(80 - x) + 28

We can simplify and solve:

1.1x = 64 - 0.8x + 28

1.9x = 92

x = 92/1.9

x = 920/19

The cost of the box after the increase would be 1.1(920/19) and the pen would be 0.8(80 - 920/19).

The sum of these two can be written as a percent x of 80.

80x = 0.8(80 - 920/19) + 1.1(920/19)

80x = 64 - 0.8(920/19) + 1.1(920/9)

80x = 64 - 0.3(920/19)

80x = 64 - 276/19

80x = 940/19

x = 940/1520

x = 0.6184

This is 61.84%

A. For y= 2x-1, the slope is 2 and the y intercept is -1. Therefore, we should first plot (0,-1). From there, for each increment of x, increase y by 2. For y= 4x-5, the slope is 4 and the y ntercelt is -5. Therefore we should plot (0,-5) and plot an increase of 4 on the y axis per increase of 1 on the x axis. The solution is where the lines cross.
