We already know from the given data that 6 pencils can be bought for 59 cents. We have to determine the number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95.
So
Price of 6 pencils = 59 cents.
Price of 1 pencil = (59/6) cents
   = 9.83 cents
Now total amount in hand for buying pencils = $2.95
   = 295 cents
Then the number of pencils that can be bought for 295 cents = (295/9.83)
   = 30.01
So the maximum number of pencils that can be bought for $2.95 is 30 pencils.

To solve this problem, draw the situation for a better comprehension:

As we can see, the situation describes a right triangle and we can use pythagorean theorem to solve it.

To do this, use the corresponding units.

For inches:

$\begin{gathered} h=\sqrt[]{84^2-48^2} \\ h=\sqrt[]{7056-2304} \\ h=\sqrt[]{4752} \\ h=68.9 \end{gathered}$

The suspect is 68.9 inches high.

Convert this height to feet:

$68.9in\cdot(\frac{1ft}{12in})=5.74ft$

The suspect is 5.74 feet high.

A bag contains tickets numbered 1 through 5. Use the probability distribution to determine the probability of drawing an odd num

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The probability of drawing an odd numbered ticket is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Odd numbered tickets:

Probability of one is 1/5 plus half of 1/5.

$P(X = 1) = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$

Probability of 3 is half of 1/5.

$P(X = 3) = \frac{1}{10}$

Probability of 5 is 1/5. So

$P(X = 5) = \frac{1}{5}$

Probability of drawing an odd numbered ticket:

$p = P(X = 1) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 5) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6$

0.6*100% = 60%

The probability of drawing an odd numbered ticket is 60%.

(4, -3), (x, 1); slope -4

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$m = \frac{y \frac{}{2} - y \frac{}{1} }{x \frac{}{2} - x \frac{}{1} }$

m = slope

x, y = coordinates

$- 4 = \frac{1 - ( - 3)}{x - 4} \\ - 4(x - 4) = 1 + 3 \\ - 4x + 16 = 4 \\ - 4 x = 4 - 16 \\ - 4x = - 12 \\ x= \frac{ - 12}{ - 4} \\ x = 3$

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the following distribution?

natulia [17]

The definition of mean, is to add up all the numbers and divide it by how many numbers there are. So, in this case the mean would be 1+1+1+2+2+2+2+3+3+4+4+4+4+5+5+6+7+7+8+8+9 = 86. You would then take 86 and divide that by 21, and you would get 4.0
The definition of median states to find the middle of the numbers. So the median would be 4.
So you would just take 4 - 4 = 0.

0 would be correct.
