200 students in a high school senior class are surveyed about what majors they intend to declare in college. Of the 200 students

, 80 plan to major in mathematics, 100 plan to major in computer science, and 30 plan to pursue a double major in mathematics and computer science. Using this information, answer each of the following questions. Let M be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in mathematics and C be the event that a randomly selected student plans to major in computer science. What is P(M), left parenthesis, M, right parenthesis, the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?

<u>2. What is P(M), the probability that a student plans to major in mathematics?</u>

  • P(M) = number of students who plan to major in mathematics / number of students

  • P(M) = 80 / 200 = 0.4

What is the value of x in the equation 4x+8y=40 when y=0.8
GREYUIT [131]
Substitute in 0.8 for y.

4x+8y=40 \\ \\ 4x + 8(0.8) = 40 \\ \\ 4x + 6.5 = 40 \\ \\ 4x = 40 - 6.4 \\ \\ 4x = 33.6 \\ \\ x = 8.4 \\ \\

The final result is: x = 8.4.

Prior to September, 2000, taxi fares from Washington DC to Maryland were described as follows: $2.00 up to and including 1⁄2 mil
GREYUIT [131]

The piecewise function is

f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2

f(x) = 2 + 0.7x, x > 1/2

<h3>How to determine the piecewise function?</h3>

From the question, we have:

Fares = $2.00 ⇒ up to (and including) 1/2 miles

Fares = $0.70 increment ⇒ greater than 1/2 miles

Let x represent the number of miles, and f(x) the fares.

So, we have:

f(x) = 2, 0 < x ≤ 1/2

f(x) = 2 + 0.7x, x > 1/2

The above represents the piecewise function

If there are 6 serving in a 2/3 pound lb package of pound is in each serving
Serhud [2]

Answer:

\boxed{\math{\frac{1}{9}\text{ lb}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Size of one serving} = \dfrac{\text{Total size}}{\text{No of servings}} = \dfrac{\frac{2}{3}\text{ lb}}{\text{6 servings}}\\\\\text{Change the 6 to a fraction and change divide to multiply}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3} \div 6 = \dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6}

\text{Cancel the 2s}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3}\\\\\text{Multiply numerators and denominators}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{3} = \dfrac{1}{9}\\\\\text{Each serving contains }\boxed{\mathbf{\frac{1}{9}\textbf{ lb}}}
