Answer: There are 10 boys and 7 girls in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boys and y be the number of girls then according to the question we have the following equations :-

x+y=17...............................(1)\\\\7x+11y=147...........................(2)

The value of y from (1) will be

y=17-x , substitute this in equation (2), we get

7x+11(17-x)=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ 7x+187x-11x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ 187-4x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4x=147-187\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4x=-40\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10

∴ y=17-10=7

Hence, there are 10 boys and 7 girls in the class.

10 boys equals 70 pockets
7 girls equals 77 pockets

that equals 147 pockets and 17 heads

Determine whether the lines are parallel, intersect, or coincide<br> y=1/3x+4 <br> x-3y=-12
adell [148]

The slopes of two lines are equal which means that the lines are parallel.

Further explanation:

The slopes of lines are used to find the relationship between two line.

  • If two lines are parallel, then their slopes will be equal.
  • If two lines are perpendicular, the product of slopes of both lines will be -1

The standard form of equation of line is:

y=mx+b

The coefficient of x is the slope here.

y=1/3x+4

Let m1 be the slope of first line:

m_1=\frac{1}{3}

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

Let m2 be the slope of second line

m_2=\frac{1}{3}

We can see that:

m_1=m_2

The slopes of two lines are equal which means that the lines are parallel.

Find the volume of each composite solid figure.
Mama L [17]
Break up the shape into two so you have:

A rectangular prism dimensions 4x2x5
A rectangular prism dimensions 5x3x14

Now you can find the volume of each:

4·3·5 = 60
5·3·14 = 210

Add the two volumes up to get the volume of the composite figure:

210 + 60 = 270

determine the value of , if possible. If the triangles are congruent, state which triangle congruence condition you used. If the
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

"Can't be determined"

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangles given in the picture,

Given:

m∠A = m∠C

m∠B = m∠D

But for the congruence of these triangles third condition is not given.

Therefore, congruence of these triangles can not be determined.

So the answer is "Can't be determined"

Suppose the weights of the Boxers at this club are Normally distributed with a mean of 166 pounds and a standard deviation of 5.
lesya [120]

Answer:

0.1994 is the required probability.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 166 pounds

Standard Deviation, σ = 5.3 pounds

Sample size, n = 20

We are given that the distribution of weights is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Standard error due to sampling =

=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{5.3}{\sqrt{20}} = 1.1851

P(sample of 20 boxers is more than 167 pounds)

P( x > 167) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{167 - 166}{1.1851}) = P(z > 0.8438)

= 1 - P(z \leq 0.8438)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 167) = 1 - 0.8006= 0.1994 = 19.94\%

0.1994 is the probability that the mean weight of a random sample of 20 boxers is more than 167 pounds
