Answer: Our required probability is 0.1695.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of male applicants = 4200

Number of female applicants = 3800

So, total number of applicants = 4200+3800 = 8000

Probability of male entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.4\times 0.4=0.16

Probability of female entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.4\times 0.45\\\\=0.18

Number of male entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.16\times 4200\\\\=672

Number of female entered and subsequently enrolled is given by

0.18\times 3800\\\\=684

So, Probability that a student who applied  for admission will be accepted by the university and subsequently will enroll is given by

\dfrac{672+684}{8000}\\\\=\dfrac{1356}{8000}\\\\=0.1695

Hence, our required probability is 0.1695.

Consider the function represented by 9x+3y = 12 with x as the independent variable. How can this function be
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

  • f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given function:</u>

  • 9x + 3y = 12

<u>Putting this into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b</u>

  • 9x + 3y = 12
  • 3y = -9x + 12
  • y = -3x + 4

<u>Replacing y with f(x)</u>

  • f(x) = -3x + 4

To the nearest tenth the value of x that satisfies 2x = −2x + 11 is
olganol [36]

Answer:

2.8 (from 2.75 because of rounding)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = -2x + 11

Add 2x on both sides

4x = 11

Divide 4 on both sides

x = 11/4

x = 2.75

Round to nearest tenth

x is about 2.8
