Answer:

A)

Step-by-step explanation:

 Since we are given the function, we can simply plug in the x as 9. So we get 50(0.952)9. Solving this, we get 450(.952) and this is about 428. SO our answer is a) about 428 feral cats.

4 there are only red sweets and yellow sweets in a bag.
Taya2010 [7]

Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be \dfrac{7}{10}

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

In this problem:

  • In total, there are 8 + n sweets in the bag.
  • Of those, n are red.

The probability of red is:

p=\dfrac{n}{n+8}

Supposing, we solve for n:

\dfrac{n}{n+8} = \dfrac{7}{10}

10n = 7n + 56

3n = 56

n  =  56 / 3

n  =  18.67

Since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be 7 / 10

Dharma and Jorge are looking at cell phone plans. A
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Dharma and Jorge should purchase a group plan.

They could save $9.55

Step-by-step explanation:

A group plan will cost an average of $135.95 per month.

An individual plan will cost an average of $72.75 per month.

Two individual plans will cost an average of

\$72.75\cdot 2=\$145.50

per month.

Since $145.50 > $135.95,  Dharma and Jorge should purchase a group plan.

They could save

\$145.50-\$135.95=\$9.55

Larry reads that 1 out of 4 eggs contains salmonella bacteria, so he never uses more than 3 eggs in cooking. If eggs do or don't
aleksley [76]

Answer:

57.8125% or approx. 57.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1/4, or 25%, or 0.25 chance that an egg has salmonella.

Thus, there is a 75%, or 0.75 chance that an egg DOESN'T contain salmonella.

Let's find the probability that all 3 of Larry's eggs are free from salmonella. Larry would have to hit that 75% chance 3 times in a row. The chance of that happening is:

0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 = 0.75^3 = 0.421875

From this, we can deduce that if there is a 0.421875 (42.1875%) chance that all eggs are safe to eat, there must be a...

1 - 0.421875 = 0.578125

...0.578125 (57.8125%) chance that 1 or more of Larry's eggs do have salmonella.

Answer: approx. 57.8% or 57.8125%

An algebra book weighs 6 oz less
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Algebra book weighs 24 oz

Grammar book weighs 15 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

algebra = x and grammar = y

x = 2y-6

5x = 8y

5(2y-6) = 8y

10y - 30 = 8y

2y - 30 = 0

2y = 30

y = 15

x = 2(15)-6

x = 30-6

x = 24
