Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer

Find out the how many games did the teams lose .

To prove

Formula

$Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ values}$

As given

Salem High School's winter sports teams WON 72% of their games last season.

If the teams played 50 games .

Percentage = 72%

Total value = 50

Put in the formula

$72 = \frac{Number\ of\ games\ win\times 100}{50}$

$Number\ of\ games\ win = \frac{72\times 50}{100}$

Number of games win = 36

Number of games teams loses = Total number of games - number of games win

= 50 - 36

= 14

Therefore the number of games team loses are 14 .

Accidents on highways are one of the main causes of death or injury in developing countries and the weather conditions have an i

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

0.105 = 10.5% probability that an accident results in a death.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the probability that an accident results in a death?

5% of 60%(sunny)

25% of 20%(foggy)

12.5% of 20%(rainy)

So

$p = 0.05*0.6 + 0.25*0.2 + 0.125*0.2 = 0.105$

0.105 = 10.5% probability that an accident results in a death.

Jane is playing a game in which he spins a spinner with 6 equal-sized slices numbered 1 through 6. The spinner stops on a number

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The expected value of playing the game is $0.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable is the weighted average of the random variable.

The formula to compute the expected value of a random variable X is:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

The random variable X in this case can be defined as the amount won in playing the game.

The probability distribution of X is as follows:

Number on spinner: 1 2 3 4 5 6

Amount earned (X): $1 $4 $7 $10 -$8.75 -$8.75

Probability: 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6 1/6

Compute the expected value of X as follows:

$E(X)=\sum x\cdot P(X=x)$

$=(1\times \frac{1}{6})+(4\times \frac{1}{6})+(7\times \frac{1}{6})+(10\times \frac{1}{6})+(-8.75\times \frac{1}{6})+(-8.75\times \frac{1}{6})$

$=\frac{1}{6}+\frac{4}{6}+\frac{7}{6}+\frac{10}{6}-\frac{8.75}{6}-\frac{8.75}{6}$

$=\frac{1+4+7+10-8.75-8.75}{6}$

$=0.75$

Thus, the expected value of playing the game is $0.75.

Use the following table for questions 11-13.A baseball manager believes a linear relationship exists between the number of Home

slamgirl [31]

The regression equation of Y on X is given by the following formula:

$Y-\bar{Y}=b_{yx}(X-\bar{X})$

Where byx is given by the formula:

$b_{yx}=\frac{N\sum^{}_{}XY-\sum^{}_{}X\sum^{}_{}Y}{N\sum^{}_{}X^2-(\sum^{}_{}X)^2}$

Where N is the number of values (N=8). We need to find the sum of X values, the sum of Y values, the average of X, the average of Y, the sum of X*Y and the sum of X^2.

The table of values is:

The values we need to know are on the following table:

By replacing the known values in the formula we obtain:

$\begin{gathered} b_{yx}=\frac{8\cdot26125-167\cdot995}{8\cdot4649-(167)^2} \\ b_{yx}=\frac{209000-166165}{37192-27889} \\ b_{yx}=\frac{42835}{9303} \\ b_{yx}=4.6 \end{gathered}$

Now, the average of X and Y is the sum divided by N, then:

$\begin{gathered} \bar{X}=\frac{167}{8}=20.87 \\ \bar{Y}=\frac{995}{8}=124.37 \end{gathered}$

Replace these values in the formula and find the regression equation as follows:

$\begin{gathered} Y-124.37=4.6(X-20.87) \\ Y-124.37=4.6X-4.6\cdot20.87 \\ Y=4.6X-96.11+124.37 \\ Y=4.6X+28.26 \end{gathered}$

The answer is a) y=4.6x+28.26
