and they are losing by 1 goal. In the past, when losing by 1 goal, Hope has pulled a defender out of the game and replaced her with a forward a total of 9 times. When in the same position, she has left the defender in the game 10 times.
In the situations when Hope has pulled her defender, the team has lost 4 times, tied 2 times, and won 3 times. In situations when she has left her defender in the game, the team has lost 1 time, tied 3 times, and won 6 times.

To answer this question, we need to find the winning probability in either case.

Probability = no. of outcomes / total no. of possible outcomes

<u>When Hope pulled her defender :</u>

Total no. of games = 9

No. of games won = 3

Winning probability = 3/9 =1/3

<u>When Hope left her defender :</u>

Total no. of games = 10

No. of games won = 6

Winning probability = 6/10 = 3/5

We know that , 1/3 < 3/5.

So, Hope should not pull her defender, as the winning probability is better when Hope left her defender.

Answer : A. Hope should not pull her defender.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

                  Hope should not pull her defender.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<u>When Hope has pulled her defender:</u>

The team has lost 4 times, tied 2 times, and won 3 times.

Hence, the total number of times she meets her goal is:

                           6 times

(Since the goal is to either tie or win the game )

Hence, the probability that she meets her goal is:

                               6/9=2/3=0.66

<u> When she has left her defender in the game:</u>

         The team has lost 1 time, tied 3 times, and won 6 times.

Hence, the total number of times she meets her goal is:

                                    9

Hence, the probability that she meets her goal is:

                               9/10=0.9

As the probability of meeting her goal is more when she left her defender in the game is more.

          Hence, Hope should not pull her defender.

A recipe says to use 3cups of flour to make 48 cookies. What is a constant of proportionality that related the number of cookies
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

y=16 x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this one, we need to find the unit rate, which means how many cookies we can make using 1 cup of flour. To do that, we need to divide both the flour and the cookies by 3 to get 3/3=1 and 48/3=16. So the total amount of cookies made with one cup of flour is 16. So the constant proportionality is 16,1.

vichka [17]
I FOUND YOUR COMPLETE QUESTION IN OTHER SOURCES.
 
SEE ATTACHED IMAGE, PLEASE.
 
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.
 n = number of 5k races covered
 f = end time.
 We have the following equation:
 f = -1.2n + 38.1
 We note that the slope of the line is:
 m = -1.2 minutes per race
 Therefore, the time decreases 1.2 minutes when the number of races increases n.
 Answer:
 
The model predicts that for each additional race to runner has run, the finishing time decreases by about 1.2 minutes
