Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept

alrighty, find the slope

slope between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

the slope between (8,-1) and (-4,2) is (2-(-1))/(-4-8)=(2+1)/(-12)=3/-12=-1/4

y=(-1/4)x+b
find b
subsitute a point
(8,-1)
x=8 and y=-1
-1=(-1/4)(8)+b
-1=-2+b
1=b

the  y intercept is y=1 or the point (0,1)

Let:

x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.

Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.

Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10

The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.

We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.

Equating both costs:

0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)

Operating:

0.8x + 10 = 8 + x

Subtracting x and 10:

0.8x - x = 8 - 10

Simplifying:

-0.2x = -2

Dividing by -0.2:

x = -2/(-0.2)

x = 10

Answer: 10 pounds

Answer:

  • B. The probability that the student received a grade better than C is 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Total number of students:</u>

  • 15 + 30 + 35 + 16 + 4 = 100
<h3>Statements</h3>

A.

  • p(<D) = 4/100 = 0.04
  • 0.04 ≠ 0.2
  • Incorrect

B.

  • p(>C) = (30 + 15)/100 = 45/100 = 0.45
  • 0.45 = 0.45
  • Correct

C.

  • p(not A or B) = (100 - 15 - 30)/100 = 55/100 = 0.55
  • 0.55 ≠ 0.45
  • Incorrect

D.

  • p(B or C) = (30 + 35)/100 = 65/100 = 0.65
  • 0.65 ≠ 0.35
  • Incorrect
