Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is expressed as

Side effect no side effect total

Adult 7 43 50

Children 22 28 50

Total 29 71 100

Probability is expressed as

Number of favorable outcomes/number of total outcomes

For the probability that an adult has side effects,

Total number of outcomes = 50

Number of favorable outcomes = 7

Probability that an adult has side effects = 7/50 = 0.14

For the probability that a child has side effects,

Total number of outcomes = 50

Number of favorable outcomes = 22

Probability that an adult has side effects = 22/50 = 0.44

Therefore, it is more likely that a child has side effects compared to an adult

Which expression is equivalent to m^2-13m-30?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: First option

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the quadratic equation given in the problem:

$m^2-13m-30$

To find an equivalent expression you cacn factorize. Find two numbers whose sum is -13 and whose product is -30.

These numbers would be -15 and 2.

Therfore, you obtain the following equivalent expression:

$(m-15)(m+2)$

If you don't want to apply the method above, you can use the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Where:

$a=1\\b=-13\\c=-30$

When you susbstitute values you obtain that:

$x=15\\x=-2$

Then you can rewrite the equation as $(m-15)(m+2)$

Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You mix the House blend

TiliK225 [7]

The ratio House blend/Organic Free Trade blend is the same and must remain the same.

So, the proportion is:

$\frac{140}{168}=\frac{130}{x}$

Where x is the unknown amount of the Organic Free Trade blend.

So, from the proportion, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 140\cdot x=168\cdot130 \\ 140x=21840 \\ \frac{140x}{140}=\frac{21840}{140} \\ x=156 \end{gathered}$

Answer: 156 pounds of Organic Free Trade blend
