<span>If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = (x - 3)/2, what is the value of f[g(-5)]? f[g(-5)] means substitute -5 for x in the right side of g(x), simplify, then substitute what you get for x in the right side of f(x), then simplify. It's a "double substitution". To find f[g(-5)], work it from the inside out. In f[g(-5)], do only the inside part first. In this case the inside part if the red part g(-5) g(-5) means to substitute -5 for x in g(x) = (x - 3)/2 So we take out the x's and we have g( ) = ( - 3)/2 Now we put -5's where we took out the x's, and we now have g(-5) = (-5 - 3)/2 Then we simplify: g(-5) = (-8)/2 g(-5) = -4 Now we have the g(-5)] f[g(-5)] means to substitute g(-5) for x in f[x] = 2x + 3 So we take out the x's and we have f[ ] = 2[ ] + 3 Now we put g(-5)'s where we took out the x's, and we now have f[g(-5)] = 2[g(-5)] + 3 But we have now found that g(-5) = -4, we can put that in place of the g(-5)'s and we get f[g(-5)] = f[-4] But then f(-4) means to substitute -4 for x in f(x) = 2x + 3 so f(-4) = 2(-4) + 3 then we simplify f(-4) = -8 + 3 f(-4) = -5 So f[g(-5)] = f(-4) = -5</span>

Answer:

<em>Natalie's total spread = 18</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The 'spread' of a crossword puzzle tournament player is computed as his/her total score minus the opponent's total score.

Natalie's scores are:

N=410+380+395+370+320+360=2,235

Opponent's scores are:

O=395+360+412+355+340+355=2,217

Natalie's total spread = 2,235 - 2,217 = +18

Natalie's total spread = 18

A certain company sends 35% of its overnight mail parcels via express delivery service 1 and the rest by express delivery servic
sineoko [7]

Answer:

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes Theorem:

Two events, A and B.

P(B|A) = \frac{P(B)*P(A|B)}{P(A)}

In which P(B|A) is the probability of B happening when A has happened and P(A|B) is the probability of A happening when B has happened.

In this question:

Event A: Late delivery.

Event B: Service 2 was used.

A certain company sends 35% of its overnight mail parcels via express delivery service 1 and the rest by express delivery service 2.

100 - 35 = 65%.

So P(B) = 0.65

Service 2 has a record of 2.0% of packages being delivered late.

This means that P(A|B) = 0.02

Probability of a late delivery.

35% from service 1. Of those, 3% are late.

65% from service 2. Of those, 2% are late.

So

P(A) = 0.35*0.03 + 0.65*0.02 = 0.0235

What is the probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

P(B|A) = \frac{0.65*0.02}{0.0235} = 0.5532

55.32% probability that a late package was delivered by express delivery service 2

How should they divide the money so that each class gets the same fraction of the prize money as the fraction of the box tops th
bija089 [108]

Figure the fraction of box tops each class collected, then multiply the prize money by that fraction.

Total box tops = 3760 +2301 +1855 = 7916

Mr Coronado's class's fraction: 3760/7916 × $600 = $284.99

Mrs De Souza's class's fraction: 2301/7916 × $600 = $174.41

Mr Nost's class's fraction: 1855/7916 × $600 = $140.60
