Answer:

Scott

Step-by-step explanation:

20/25=.8 .8=80%

.815*100=81.5%

81%

After finding a decimal and multiplying by 100, you get the percent so you can compare. 81.5% is the highest, so Scott had the highest score.

Hope this helps. Please put brainliest if you can!

The product of nine and a number is added to 6, the result is 24. what is the number

Step2247 [10]

So in numbers : 9n + 6 = 24
or 9n = 24 - 6
or 9n = 18
or n = 18/9
so n = 2

Lines k and n intersect on the y-axis

avanturin [10]

a) The equation of line k is:

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}$

b) The equation of line j is:

$y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}$

The equation of a line, in <u>slope-intercept formula</u>, is given by:

$y = mx + b$

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0.

Item a:

Line k intersects line m with an angle of 109º, thus:

$\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}$

In which $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the slopes of <u>k and m.</u>

Line k goes through points (-3,-1) and (5,2), thus, it's slope is:

$m_1 = \frac{2 - (-1)}{5 - (-3)} = \frac{3}{8}$

The tangent of 109 degrees is $\tan{109^{\circ}} = -\frac{29}{10}$
Thus, the slope of line m is found solving the following equation:

$\tan{109^{\circ}} = \frac{m_2 - m_1}{1 + m_1m_2}$

$-\frac{29}{10} = \frac{m_2 - \frac{3}{8}}{1 + \frac{3}{8}m_2}$

$m_2 - \frac{3}{8} = -\frac{29}{10} - \frac{87}{80}m_2$

$m_2 + \frac{87}{80}m_2 = -\frac{29}{10} + \frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{167m_2}{80} = \frac{-202}{80}$

$m_2 = -\frac{202}{167}$

Thus:

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b$

It goes through point (-2,6), that is, when $x = -2, y = 6$ , and this is used to find b.

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + b$

$6 = -\frac{202}{167}(-2) + b$

$b = 6 - \frac{404}{167}$

$b = \frac{6(167)-404}{167}$

$b = \frac{598}{167}$

Thus. the equation of line k, in slope-intercept formula, is:

$y = -\frac{202}{167}x + \frac{598}{167}$

Item b:

Lines j and k intersect at an angle of 90º, thus they are perpendicular, which means that the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Thus, the slope of line j is:

$-\frac{202}{167}m = -1$

$m = \frac{167}{202}$

Then

$y = \frac{167}{202}x + b$

Also goes through point (-2,6), thus:

$6 = \frac{167}{202}(-2) + b$

$b = \frac{(2)167 + 202(6)}{202}$

$b = \frac{1546}{202}$

The equation of line j is:

$y = \frac{167}{202}x + \frac{1546}{202}$

Write a proportion for the statement.<br> 40 is to 10 as 32 is to 8.

All proportions have <u>this</u> <u>form</u>:

$\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}}$ , Where $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}}$ is equal to $\sf{\dfrac{c}{d}}$ .

If $\sf{\dfrac{a}{b}\neq\dfrac{c}{d}}$ , it's <u>not</u> a proportion.

_________________________

Here we have two pairs of numbers:

40,10 and 32,8.

Written As a <u>proportion</u>, they <em>look like</em> :

$\sf{\dfrac{40}{10}=\dfrac{32}{8}}$

Hope this made sense to you :)

9. Gold miners in Alaska have found, on average, 12 ounces of gold per 1000 tons of dirt excavated with a standard deviation of

netineya [11]

Answer:

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 12, \sigma = 3$

What is the probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 16. So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{16 - 12}{3}$

$Z = 1.33$

$Z = 1.33$ has a pvalue of 0.9082

1 - 0.9082 = 0.0918

9.18% probability the miners find more than 16 ounces of gold in the next 1000 tons of dirt excavated
